What is PHP?

How to load new avatars?

Can we use different smilies and if so how?

Thanks

PHP is the scripting language that this forum software is written in.

http://www.php.net

You can load new avatars by going to your controls. Click on the My Controls link near the top right, and there on the left 2/3 of the way down is a link called "Edit Avatar Settings". Click on that and you can either link to your avatar, or use one of the pre-loaded ones.

To use the other smilies you just have to know their codes.. To see them all click the "More Options" button below the fast reply, or click the "Add Reply" button to a thread and you'll see the more advanced reply interface
which includes the list of smilies.

:D

My avatar won't change. It's a .jpg on my computer and when ever I try to get it to work I get this message

Not sure if mine is...its small, and the "scaling" feature is on, which should make it the right size anyway...

No, it's 60 x 60 5.4 KB. But as browna said, the scaling feature is on.
