this is my first computer and im just getting the hand of it, so how do you post links? also people put great pictures and adverts on where your name comes up. to say who posted what. if you get what i mean. like i said im new to the www and the jargon lol x

For adding links in your reply: in the reply box above, you will see what looks like a blue ball thingy with a clip through it...click on that and add address of link you wish to add.

For adding pics to post in your reply:
In the box where you post your reply, look above in that grey area. There's a paperclip thingy next to that smiley face. Click on the paperclip and browse your computer to find pic you want. Then click upload. Then click paperclip again and it should appear in the reply box. When people click on it, it will come up larger. If you want a big pic to appear then you need to upload pic to a website like Photobucket and get the IMG or URL code/address and copy and paste that in the reply box. Hope this helps.

As for pics by your name:
Go to 'edit profile' in the green bar on top left hand side of page.
Then either go to 'edit profile pic' or 'edit avatar'

Hope this helps.
