Welcome, here's a hint about Avatars
Welcome !
Pipesmagazine.com is growing so fast that the Avatar Generator is running out of Avatars for new members. We are working to alleviate this minor issue. Most New Members will generally upload their own Avatar at their earliest convenience. I wish to help out if I can.
It is a simple process to upload an Avatar here. I must first inform you that there are two places to do so, because there is a magazine section, and a Forum Section. While not separate entities they are independent of each other. Nothing says that it has to be the same in both places. But, if someone decides to send a PM or look at your "Album", it could cause some very minor and inconsequential confusion.
The first place is on the PipesMagazine section. Since you have opened this Personal Message you are in your Magazine side Profile. Just click on the words "Change Avatar" and it will take you to the Avatar upload area and just follow the instructions there. Very easy.
The second is to be found on the Forum Page. Please read the strings at the top of the page that asks you to do so... These are the Forum Rules. Then if you are so inclined please post something in the New Member Introduce Yourself string. After you post there or you have commented in or started a string you will now be able to set your Forum Avatar.
For the Forum Avatar, as mentioned above you must have at least one post to upload your Avatar.
On that post (once submitted) simply click on your Screen Name just below the Avatar Place Holder.
This will take you to your other Profile Page. In the upper right hand corner of that page there are a couple of links just click on Avatar and proceed to upload your Avatar.
It is worth noting that in the Edit portion of your Forum Profile you can adjust what is there and you can create a "Signature" These are usually very small photos, or Emoticons, some members have sayings, quotes, or links to their Pipe Album. (Remember it is not permissible to post links to your own website, business, or blog in your signature.)
We are very glad to have you aboard and I personally look forward to reading your questions, comments, and seeing your pictures.
Welcome my friend,

PS: Please feel free to send me a PM if you are having difficulty with anything on the site. It will be my pleasure to assist with any issues that may arise. Last thing, (I promise) there are two ways to PM a member. One is in your Magazine side Profile page. This one will post a notification at the top of the page. (You’ve seen it obviously because you are reading this) The other is in the Forum. It is located in the right hand column near the top of the Main Forum Page.
If you want to send or receive a PM just click on the "You have "X" New Messages" located there.
