Joe_Kearney Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Go on 'My controls' and avatar settings, picture changing can be done there. Answering the validation question, read the following :Tips to get validated quicker * Use the Spell Checker, it doesnt take long! * Dnt use txt tlk * Use descriptive topic titles, try not to use topic titles such as 'help!', 'Problem with....', 'where', and instead try and put as much information in as possible * Try and put as much information into your posts as possible, don't leave people guessing what you mean (this is not MSN!) * Do not spam/post irrelevant messages * Dont get involved in arguments, use the report button. If you are argumentative you seriously reduce your chances of getting validated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) it's easy to get validated just take time and put effort into your posts. use the spell checker and the search button instead of posting the same rubbish and read the rules. to change the picture under your nameclick on your name>scroll down and click on avatar options>upload the image you want from your pc >okEdit: while theres a topic on this stuff how do i take a screen shot of what i'm looking at Edited March 22, 2006 by Gavyn L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldo453 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 why not say help in the title and stuff like that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 By all means say something like, "Help required with <technique>" or something, but I think what Joe was trying to say was make sure you include a bit more information than just calling a thread, "Help!"It's annoying to look into a thread just to have to see that it was pointless for you to do so, make life easy for people. If they know what you need help with, they are more likely to look in and help if they canTake it easy mate, just put a bit of time into your posts, post relevant/helpful stuff and no pointless threads, and you will be fine.Just remember that validation can take time, it's nothing personal, and it may be a little frustrating at times, but you've just got to live with it I'm afraid!

onzatprodude Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 i think its because you dont want all the topic titles saying help because you will have to look on all of them to see what they are about whereas if you give a breif discription in the topic title then people can say to themselves wether they are intrested in looking in this topic OR for example "bleeding maguras" i might know nothing about bleeding maguras and i might not want to know how to so therefore i dont have to look in and read it all saving me time to look at differnt/more enjoyable posts hope i helped cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onzaallen Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi mate, To get validated you will just have to follow the rules and be patient and make sure you use the spell checker. I know it gets really annoying at times, i have had an account before and got validated but i got a new one because i messed it up and it is well worth the wait!

Ben Jones Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 To get writing underneath your avatar you need 100 posts.Then i believe you go to 'My Controls' in the top right corner then you should find it Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you plan on 'messing about' with friends, make it clear that you are just joking and not being serious.Please bear in mind, anything else not mentioned, which is seen as unsuitable for the forum will result in warning points.
