I get lots of PM's from members who ask me questions on how to work certain parts of the forum.  Some members don't even know they have a PM box.  Some don't know how to post pictures.  Some don't know how to post polls.  And many don't use the 'new posts" or "mark forum read" buttons.  To all, please do a once over on the Help menu location beneath your name in the upper right hand corner of the site.
  Even if you think you know the forum well, I bet you'll learn something.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions if you still need help.
  Thanks, UL

That link was from the old forum software.  This one should get people pointed in the right direction.

I can't seem to get my computer to turn on. Does it tell you where the power button is located? Kidding. Couldn't help myself. Have a great day!

I just registered today and already have a prob. The screens I've looked at don't show the green tool bar with FAQ's. I use Adobe 10.1 - Is this ok or am I just plain blind and can't see it? Also Where is it that I can post to some info as a new member?

No more green bar.  That was from the old CN site.

Sorry, this is from the old forum software.  It is now called the "Help" menu

Yes, everyone get's that.  I have the email member function turned off.  I figured that many of the members here would not want their emails made public.  If you need to get a hold of a member, a PM is still the best way.  If you want to exchange emails then, it is up to both parties involved.

Sorry,
  When we changed forum software and do updates, sometimes some of the older links get broken.  I think I corrected them all now.  If not, here is the most up to date link.

I still didn't find out, from your link, how to get a photo that's in my Gallery onto my post. This site is very challenging for me ( have no trouble on other sites) and retired from electronic engineering 32 years ago maybe I'm just too old to learn .

I thought I had it made when I got test pictures into my Gallory but I was wrong, guess I'll just send my pictures via e-mail.

  Sorry you are having such a hard time.  Just click on the link that says "My Media"in the text editor box and then choose the gallery.  You will then be able to select pictures from your gallery.
