Look near the top right, there's a listing for My Controls.

And annonymous and annoying aren't the same thing.  (Well, unless you find annonymity annoying, but that's another matter entirely).

Anonymous Guest Person happens to be my good friend and fellow DarwinBot programmer.

He's neither annoying nor anonymous.  Except in name.

Hi Bots

Glad you could make it over here.

Do you see the top row of the page? There is a hyperlink named "My Controls". Just click it and it will take you to your own personal setup page.

In there you can add your Avatar either from your own url or from one of the built in lists. You can also mess about with all kinds of other stuff.

Just click the button at the bottom of the page to update your new information and you are sorted.

User preferences have been changed. Your Avi is now no longer autosized. You just need to plug in it's actual size to display it properly.

To be fair though. I went back and changed the maximum size to 100 after Bot's last message.

Hy Folks. If I could make a few suggestions. Firstly, having so many forums with a relatively small community is counter productive, people rarely check the lesser used forums resulting in unanswered posts. I suggest merging a few of the forums into each other.

What is DarwinBots, DNA Help, Whats This Do could be merged into a Help Forum catch all. The Announcement Forum could be replaced by well administered Sticky topics in the General Forums. Also you need a MB League forum :)

Other than that how are you going to promote this board? The old Website is oooold and hasnt been updated for years. I know it would actually cost money but perhaps a new site is in order? It would definately help get more people interested in DB

Your probably right about merging forums, but have you looked at the icons next to each forum?  They turn blue when there's an unread topic in there.

What I think would be nice is a list of the latest few posts and their posters that's available from the board index.  I'm not sure if we can do that or not though.

Actually, that's already in, Num. <_<
Check the top right. Below Help, Search, especially Members, and of course Calender.
"View New Posts". :P :D

Yeah, but we have to click that button!  Couldn't we just display links to the last 5 posts in the index page?  So much easier.

Like the latest discussion panel in the portal page.
