Sorry for starting new thread but I just wanted to test a few things on the new forum, and couldn't think where else to do so!

Blimey that's big - v.impressed with the image quality versus the old forum! Now how do I make that my avatar?

It will need to be resized a bit for an avatar but it's all done through your User Control Panel, under “Profile” you can add an avatar by using one of the four following methods: Gravatar, Gallery, Remote or Upload.

Thanks Rob. I have uploaded a re-sized image as you can see.

I can see the 'remote' and 'upload' options but not 'gravatar' or 'gallery' - presume these latter two are just variations of 'remote' where I should simply cut and paste a link?

So is there a way to embed YouTube?

Yes, just set that up.

Use those tags but paste the full Youtube url: Insert YouTube URL – Example: [youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videocode [/youtube]
Or use the Youtube button on the full reply page to get those tags inserted.
Only works on URL's exactly like that from youtube though.

It was supposed to be so that you could see the code behind it ;)
