Hello Melody Rain. :)

Sorry that the Autism Forum is very quiet.

I saw your question about the picture and am not sure if you mean the picture/avatar next to your name. Like mine is a fancy L.

You will need to be logged in to do this...


UserCP near the top of the page.

Your Control Panel

scroll down to

Settings & Options

then

Edit Avatar

Go to
Custom avatar
and you will see
Option 2 - Upload image from computer.

click
BROWSE

[that will then allow you to chose from your own computer in the folder where you save images and pictures. You might find that you need to resize the image to fit as an avatar. Details for that are below]

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 85 by 85 pixels or 29.3 KB (whichever is smaller).

After you get that sorted out you need to then
SAVE CHANGES

Write again if you're still checking in here. Someone will help you I'm sure.

• I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're a really young person you might want to get some help from Mom or Dad at home about whether it's ok to post a photo of yourself online. Many people choose other images for that reason.

If it makes you feel better, I was diagnosed with a mild case of Aspergers

Why did you decide to come?
