Back in school, they had us memorizing Russian and Latin, and I only ever picked up English through listening to 50s and 60s rock 'n' roll. I’ve tried poking around Reddit, but it just isn't clicking. I don't quite grasp the whole computer jargon thing, like how to upload or paste and all that. I’d be genuinely grateful if you could walk me through it step-by-step, almost like drawing the instructions: click here, then click "browse," then click "copy," then wait for this window to pop up... you know? Just explain it as if I have zero prior knowledge, which is true, aside from knowing how to turn the machine on and get onto the site. This post is essentially the peak of my technical expertise. So, yeah, I'm lost:
1. How do I change my signature in my profile?
2. Setting an avatar—where can I find decent little pictures, and how do I shrink them if they're too big?
3. Moving photos from my phone to my PC. Everything is installed and some old shots are already tucked away in an album somewhere, probably by accident or because I forgot they were there... using an iPhone 1st Gen... please, give me that click-by-click guide.
4. Putting images from my album or the web into a post.
5. How do I reply to multiple people in a single post? Like, quote this guy, then quote that guy, then the third guy, etc. I tried the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V method, but it didn't work. Please, go click-by-click.
6. What are those icons next to "quote"—the one with the "+" and the one next to it? How do they work? Click-by-click, please.
7. How do I create a hyperlink in a post, specifically when you write this or that in blue text that opens different links when clicked?
Forgive me for being a nuisance; I'm sure this isn't everything I don't know, but I can't think of anything else right now. Perhaps my answers might help someone else whose IQ is a bit closer to the floor than the ceiling. In any case, thanks, and the first round of drinks is on me when we finally meet up!
It goes like this:
1. You click here, design the signature you want, and then hit save.
2. Click here
, hit "browse," select a specific image from your computer (which needs to be 50x50 pixels), and you can find images, for example,
here. Once you've picked the image from your computer, click "save avatar."
3. I've actually never done this myself. 🤷
4. Take a look at this post of mine. Essentially, once you get to Imgur, you click "browse," select the image you want to upload from your computer, and once it's selected, click "upload now." When those options appear—just like in the picture in my post—it means the upload worked. Then, select the link I circled (the one with the IMG tags), right-click, and select "copy." Then, in your forum post, simply paste that link (right-click and then "paste").
5. On every post, you'll see a multi-quote option (that icon with the plus sign next to "quote"). Just select as many posts as you want that way (the icon should turn red and change from a plus to a minus after you click it), and then hit "post reply" at the bottom of the page.
6. I explained the plus icon earlier; the other one on this forum doesn't really do anything, though on other vBulletin forums, it's used to activate "quick reply."
7. You type out some text, say, "click here," then highlight that text and click Just click that little icon, paste the URL you want in the window, and hit OK.
Well, we certainly went on a bit of a tangent there... 😁
Best, 😉
