Thanks Jeannine and Squash64 for the welcome. I'm still trying to get to grips with the site and am spending too much time being confused! I also haven't found any way of putting an identifying photo beside my postings like you all have, despite a thorough search of profile/help areas. Any help welcome!

Hi, it took me ages to figure things out on here, and I'm sure there are still things that I've yet to discover! Anyway, on the main page at the top you will see a banner with things like Forums, Search and PROFILE. Click on Profile and then to add a photo click on FORUM PROFILE INFO, then select I WILL UPLOAD MY PICTURE. I think the pictures have to be reasonably small so you might need to re-size it. Hope this helps :)

Not a Newbie, but a returnee - I think my last post here was in 2006!

Having given up my old plot sometime in early 2007, as we'd moved house, new family, etc etc I made do with a single raised bed in our small garden to grow the odd lettuce etc. All the while pining for a plot, and a shed. I sat on a waiting list for two years until today - when I was offered a small plot at a local allotment in Hampton.

It's only 2.5 rods, but it'll be plenty for the three of us.

So, I'm back, and raring to get going again. Back to the digging and clearing for a month or so first I reckon, but I'm extremely happy to have my own plot again. Can't wait to clear the first bit of ground and get a winter crop or two in!

Thanks for help, 1066. I'll try again. I'm still confused (vey easily it seems) by an old thread I picked up, about having to pay £10 to put a photo identity up.

Peanuts, I think it is pretty universally known that I am useless on a computer so if I can figure the forum out it must be fairly simple so you will get it in no time I feel sure..it took me ages!!

The tenner for posting is for uploading pictures on the threads and is done on your profile as well.

If you are still looking for that get back and we will explain it in full.

Thanks for the welcome, Jeannine. I have been busy doing a rain dance since I arrived, but we have now had a nice few hours of rain, so I'm just having a look around :)

1066 · « **Reply #226 on:** August 10, 2010, 14:03:45 »

well your rain dance has worked for me - thanks asj :D

Peanuts - I'll try and find the threads about posting pictures, and give them a bump

Go to your profile, then forum subscriptions, you can pay the tenner there by Paypal or send a cheque to Dan.

Your rain dance certainly very effective here. Do you give lessons? ;D ;D

Not really - it's taken me about 6 weeks ;D. However - for a fee ;)
