Place to put your locales...yet I don't see a single one (apart from mine of course)

Now if I can remember how I did it, heres a quick tech tut from a technodunce...

By your Avatar at the top right of the page...
(you Gals remember you can post a lovely pic in your avatar space don't you??)

click Forum Profile

The first modification you can make is Personalized picture ...(are you getting the hint yet? you know who you are!)

Next up is Personalized Text...mine shows as Quilting Quietly in Deepest Darkest Dorset ....

This is where you can add your locale ladies (and Germs)

You wanted this option so we know where we all are or if it is possible to meet up etc...

So c'mon Gang! ... Lets see where you are...

I too populated my profile with all the information I was willing to share  ;) and for a brief moment location was visible in the avatar area before it became buggy and Fran had to take it out.  It would be nice to have it back, but it's not a biggie in the scheme of things.  :*

Yes you did SS;

but it doesn't show in the box to the left of your posts so peeps can't see where you are....

If you enter, whatever you want really, in the personalized text .... it comes up at the bottom of that box.

So you could enter 'Pottering in Poole'
and I could then see you live in the next town to me and could pm you with an invite for a rummage round the local emporia and a cup of tea....

Alternatively you could enter 'Swimming with Skunks in the South China Seas'
and I would make sure I stay as far away from you as I could!!!

???

Ah Okay Retch, can't help with gremlins I'm afraid.
I'm on a laptop using chrome and have not had any problems, you obviously have other tech ...

Please Miss, I put mine in - it's just not showing - or at least I can't see it.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Okay SS,
Yours is showing in your signature..which is fine!
but would it not work under personalized text?? and show in your avatar??

B15erk, yours is showing in your signature line too....Same problems???

You're right Effie...and I tried to change it for you...

There's only one person we can call on for this....

Okay Gals

I have tried modifying all of your profiles (with your permissions I hope) and they are not showing in your avatar box...
and nor is mine anymore!!!!!

for why I do not know Im afraid...
However you can and have added your locales in the signature section....so we can see where you all are!

Im sure when SuperFran gets back to the forum, she could find out why this isnt working for you and (hopefully) sort it!

Im on a laptop, what devices are you on???

I've just filled in that line. Can you see what it is yet? Nope, nothing there!

I'll add it to my signature. I'm on a Macbook Pro ( hate the bloody thing)

I just did mine too.  It doesn't show on my previous posts so let's see if it shows now.

Nope !   I checked it and the text I put in is there and I saved changes but it still doesn't show Hmm...

Aahh now it does  :-)

Okay Gals, that seems to be the way to do it (at least until another update!)

If you are upset that I have fiddled with your files ... my sincerest apologies ....
let me know and I will change them back or you can do it yourselves.

But at least we are all loud and proud of who and where we are and what we are doing...
SS what the hell is weritting?????

There you go Lil, its the 2nd explanation.....
I think I'm going to delete the first, but then the posts would make no sense...Whats a girl to do???
