Re: Personal Financial Information - KEEP IT TO YOURSELF

I never get to see the spam posts boohoo

[Amethyst]

It is your responsibility to keep the information in your profile up-to-date. You should especially ensure that your email address is kept current. You can alter any of the fields in your profile, except your username, here. Once you have registered your username, it becomes yours for life. In extreme circumstances, you may ask that the administrator ( contact us here ) change your username.

On LegalBeagles next to every post you make there is a section which gives some basic information about you, like this;




This shows your Avatar, Username, online status, position on the site, reputation, Join Date, Posts and thanks given and received.
If you click on the username there are links to your profile page, and links for other users to send you a private message or view all your posts.

Once you view a profile this gives more information about a user/yourself. You can view your own profile by either clicking in the link at the top right of the forum My Profile or my clicking on your username in any post and selecting View Profile




If you wish to change any of the information in your user profile then you can do so by clicking the link (again top right of the forum) Settings
which takes you to your user control panel.

This area gives you access to your private messages, subscribed threads and is where you change your details, avatars, profile pictures and settings for the forum.

Re: How to Upload Documents (and keep your details safe!)

Just bumping to the top

If you look at the header of this post you see my username and an image.... this image displays next to all my posts and in the activity feed. By default everyone has a little grey man.
If you want to change it to have something more colourful or something that suits your personality and lets other people know a bit more about you follow the steps below;
No obscene images or advertising please.


Step 1: Click Settings (top right of screen)

Step 2: Click EDIT AVATAR - left hand side about half way down.



STEP 3: Select USE CUSTOM AVATAR and either paste link to image on another site or click BROWSE and upload an image you have saved to your computer.
Uploaded images need to be about an inch square. It will resize images but nothing too big.
Or you can select one of the premade avatars by checking the button underneath the one you want.
Then Click SAVE CHANGES.

Hopefully this won't affect too many of you, but just to let you know, at 3am every morning our server is backed up for security purposes. It takes 20 - 40 minutes and the site is unavailable during that period. We picked 3am as it is the quietest time for traffic to the site. Most people will be asleep at that time, but if you're not, and you really want to visit LB at that time, then my apologies....

Re: How to get an Avatar (picture next to your name on your posts)

Well loads of peeps don't have an avatar and they do cheer the forum up somewhat, so next time you have five minutes and are just randomly clicking about, why not pretty up your profile and get an avatar

Re: Apologies - Site Issues

We are still undergoing periodic DDOS attempts but we are managing to stay up and keep them at arms length more than we were a couple days ago. Our apologies xx

Re: Apologies - Site Issues

We have just upgraded some backend stuff to make sure things stick together properly, but it seems to have broken the ability to log out of the forum...... so while we try and fix it, if you are on a public computer and need to log out then you will need to go in and clear the browser cookies manually. Otherwise you get logged out after half an hour of inactivity.

Re: Apologies - Site Issues

All sorted.... you should now be able to log out normally.

Apologies for any inconvenience xxx

I've had reports of a PM being sent to users which should be considered as Spam and just deleted and ignored.

The user sending the messages has been banned ( or vanquished ) and the messages I've found removed from the server.

Thanks
