Completing your forum Profile

Post by warpc0il »

Your forum Profile determines what appears to the left of the screen on your posts.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


As a Guest of the Owners Club it will initially show your status as a Non-Member, which will change to Member when you have completed your application :sign: and it has been processed; allow a few days for this.

The remaining information is managed directly by you, through this link ucp.php?i=164

The RX-8 model is useful as the answers to some questions are different, whether it's a 192 or 231, Series 1 or Series 2 (R3), or any of the special editions.

Your location is useful as it may result in offers from local members to join in meets, or for someone to offer to assist with current or future issues.

You can also add an avatar picture, which says something about you or your car, and helps other members to associate your posts across multiple threads. That picture must conform to the following...
User avatar
Maximum dimensions; width: 240 pixels, height: 150 pixels, file size: 2930.00 KiB
If you don't have a suitable app on your PC then this site is easy to use, free and secure.
https://picresize.com/en/edit

The default file type is JPG but GIF is also accepted, even animated GIF, as long as it conforms to the above limits.

Your profile can also include a signature which is automatically added to your posts.

Be aware that the profile avatar picture is updated on all posts, in that the latest picture appears on every post you've ever made. However the latest signature only appears on posts made from that point, old posts will still show the concurrent signature.

Note that the profile panel isn't shown to anyone reading the posts via Tapatalk, so responses via that access might not be specifically relevant, e.g. to your specific car or location
