Hi Chia, at long last!  I was getting out of ideas on how to pull you in :)
I am so glad you made it.  You were missed.

Hi Jenny
Perhaps it might be Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.  All in the South  West of England.

Hi Chia
Lovely to see your post.

June--I am sorry you are having so much trouble getting your avatar in your profile.

Jenny--I guess the dust created by the site being rebuilt has seeped into our homes--so no demerits.:)

Bubble--Oh no, a water leak and you have to wait for help.

Hi MaryTX.

Amy--That was quite the trip you ladies had with the roads being partly washed out.

Chia--Glad you managed to get registered and post.

Hi Joan
I was dusting last night and carpet sweeping with my modified (for me) one this morning.

How many demerits? :)

Lloyd Hammond

Wow you all have been busy today.
My buddy came got his skid steer, so I got some r&r time.
I sure hope sp ck starts working.

Hi Lloyd

June,  Maybe this will help  you with getting your picture as your avatar.  This is how I did it.

Across the top of the page, you will see  HOME  FORUM  HELP SEARCH PROFILE

Click on PROFILE

Under the heading "SHOUTOUT BOX"  you will see

PROFILE INFO ---MODIFY PROFILE

Click on MODIFY PROFILE

You will see  ACCT. SETTINGS  FORUM PROFILE

Click on FORUM PROFILE

You will see PERSONAL PICTURE

Under that heading you will see

NO AVATAR
CHOOSE AVATAR FROM GALLERY
SPECIFY AVATAR FROM URL
UPLOAD AN AVATAR

Just pick the one you want and click on the little circle in front .   Then, be sure to scroll all the way down the page until you see CHANGE PROFILE box in the lower right hand corner and click on that.   You have to do that to get it to show up.

I don't have any pictures in the gallery, but I just clicked where it said UPLOAD AN AVATAR and I choose one from my PICTURE FILE in my computer.

I tried to explain this the best I could and hope you can follow it  without any problem.  If that doesn't work, then I am sure someone else will be around to help you.

June, right under your photo in the gallery were choices for [UnApprove] [Edit] [Delete].  I clicked on Delete, a screen asked if I was sure and I clicked Delete again, and it was gone.  That's all you would need to do if you make a mistake in the future.   :thumbup:

In Norm's B&T someone mentioned ice cream and it made me realize we haven't heard from Molly in this folder.  I hope she has not had trouble getting re-registered.

Mary Ann

JoanFL

Kelly--No demerits.

Lloyd--Perhaps you should mention the Spell Check issue to the Webmaster.

Joy--It's nice of you to help June.

Hi Jeanne Lee.

Mary Ann--You are right.  We haven't heard from Molly.

Joy, does all that work if I don't have a picture of me on my computer?  I don't think so.  I'm here alone, with no one to take a picture and whenever we are in a group, everyone else is taking pictures and if I'm in any of them, they are not on my computer.  So I guess all the instructions in the world won't help me.  You really need to have a picture to begin with.

Gotta go feed the doggies and get myself some supper.  See ya later alligator!

Jane, have one of your kids take a picture of you with their camera and/or smartphone and email it to you.  You can download it to your computer and go from there. 

I tried taking a "selfie" but my arms aren't long enough to get it right :).  I'm camera shy and hate having my picture taken anyway.  I think the last picture I had taken was last May when you and Courtney came down and we had lunch.

I will have to get Cathie to take one.

Jane,  there is a line that says  CHOOSE AVATAR FROM GALLERY   or  UPLOAD AN ADVATAR .    I was able to browse my pictures in my picture file and could upload a picture from there.   If you don't have a place where you can store your photos, then, I don't know what else to do. I think someone, maybe it was Oldiesman, who wrote that you can't add pictures from Photobucket.   I didn't even try that.  I don't have any pictures in the gallery. Never did  .

You don't have a place where you have pictures stored? 

I am sorry that I can't offer any other help.   There must be some other way to do it.

I just lucked out finding this out, because I am not that "computer savy">  LOL

I have had good luck with
standing in front of a mirror, 
with good light,
and snapping a digital picture
that can be downloaded to my
computer then up loaded directly
into my SeniorNet profile.

When snapping the picture I aim
the camera at the mirror, but hold
the camera down so the picture
doesn't include the camera.     
A head shot can easily be cropped
out of these pictures taken by me
looking in the mirror.   

Sometimes I have to take quite a
few to get   a shot that is good for
cropping and displaying.   

After practicing a while,  it gets very
easy.  And some of them are even
complementary ..      (giggle)

Hi Joan
No Demerits!

Great!!

Joy, I have lots of pictures on my computer.  Unfortunately, none of them are of me.  I really think I have to have a picture of me.

Sandy, I've never been accused of taking GOOD pictures and what you are suggesting in the mirror horrifies me.  The only mirror that has good light is in the bathroom and I'm not good at editing.  If it isn't good to begin with, I'm a total dunce. 

I guess you'll all just have to imagine how I look.  Of course, I have a daughter and a granddaughter who can do anything so if you can hold your breath until I go to Texas in May, they might be able to help me get a picture on this contraption.  That's if I remember to ask them!

Jane,  you should try doing a "selfie".   You might surprise yourself.   :)   

Didn't you have a picture under your name on the old S & F site?  I think I remember seeing a picture of you.   You had posted some pictures of you and your daughters at one of the grandchildren's wedding, I think.    You will eventually get one.

June Drabek

Joy and Jeanne, thank you for your help, I will do my best to follow instructions. Jeanne, I so appreciate your efforts to correct my errors.  Right now, my mind is weird. I have been up since four o'clock this morning. I need to sleep.

Janie, I love my iMac. It has a photo booth where I can take a picture and put it on my desktop, or send it via email…at least I could before unless I have fouled it up.

Another problem. I am getting dozens of emails from Mail Delivery subsystem…whatever that is with all kinds of strange addresses, saying delivery system failed. I haven't the slightest idea what that is all about. I have emailed samples to my son, hopefully he will have a solution.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

June, those are probably email letters that you sent but that could not be delivered for some reason.

June,
Often when you send mail and there is something wrong with the address, or the recipient's mail box is full, the mail system sends a failure notice back to the originator, often several times. I suspect this is what happened to you.

They took INSP off my dish package.  If I want it back I have to buy another package.  No more JAG.  I think I'll go into withdrawal. 

Joy, I can't take a selfie.  I end up looking like Jabba the Hutt on the Star Wars movies.

And now...Good Night Everyfriend!  My day is over and I'm off to Dreamland.  I wish you all a peaceful night and that you wake to a happy tomorrow.  Sleep in if you can!  It's really going to be hard to go back to work!

All I can say is:  I got my foot in the door.  I did cheat.....skipped over msgs. and hit reply. 

Now, I'll have to go back and read everything.  Had a hard time getting in.     Will take a while to get back in the swing of things.
