I have noticed some signatures on some of the posts that list the poster's RV, tow vehicle and other interesting stats. Are these manually typed into each post or is it a macro thing?
I am so glad that it has been confirmed "there is no such thing as a dumb question"

Welcome...just go into your "User Details" and do an edit and you will be able to add a signature to your profile. You can also add an avatar if you have one that is small enough to fit. It is nice to have a signature so we can see what everyone if driving or pulling and with what.
Good luck...Joanne

Thank You so much. I should have been able to figure that out, maybe it was too simple and I was looking for complicated.

I learn so much from this forum!!!! It's great to know that I can ask a question and know that I'm going to get help and not some "you're so stupid" reply.
So with that said, what does the avatar mean and then the gif,jpg,jpeg or png mean???
Does this have something to do with being able to put a picture with your signature?
I like the idea of people putting a picture of their RV/truck. I enjoy seeing these. It helps because when trying to decide on a RV, especially a 5er, you can see what others pull and how big a truck they use to pull it with. (great for wannabes)

An "avatar" is the physical manifestation of a deity. In the cyberworld (forums, chat rooms. etc.), the term is now used to mean a graphical or digital representation of the "user".
So it is basically a photo or image used to represent you. In this forum, there is a library of avatar images that can be selected to represent you - several people can use the same image (this is the easiest). Or you can upload a photo or image of your own from your computer.
The file extensions (the letters after the name of a file on your computer) gif, jpg, jpeg, png represent digital image or photo files that are acceptable to upload as your own avatar. Any file with those extensions may be used, but you may have to shrink the image as the size for an avatar is limited. We can help walk you through the process. Or you can email us the image you would like to use (some readers have done this) and we can shrink it and set it up as an avatar for you.
Under the "Pictures" topic in this Forum Tips forum is an explanation of how to insert a photo into your post if the photo is located somewhere on the web (in a photo gallery, for example). That same explanation works for photos in your "signature". Few people have done this, so I am checking into simpler methods.

I can't get my signature to break into multiple lines. Any hints or is it designed that way?
Never mind...it seems fixed now!

I decided to use this topic to do my first post so I could check out what my avatar and .sig looked like. Next time I'll try and have something useful to contribute.

Ok, Donna, how did you do it? Mine is on seperate lines in the setup page, but all on one line in the post. How did you fix that?
thx...

Tweaked my .sig (added extra carriage return after each line) to try and get it broken up into seperate lines.
