Question Avatars, Profile Pictures, Signatures, Tags


I can't see any links to introduce avatars, profile pictures, or signatures - unusual. I can't use tags!

Welcome to LQ.

* We don't support avatars.
* You can upload a profile picture once you're in the Senior Member usergroup.
* You can add a signature at any time in your UserCP
* What problem are you having with tags?

When I tried to use tags I received a message telling me I was not authorised to use them (or words to that effect).

I am surprised that the board does not support avatars. In most other groups they are used routinely.

I can add a signature (misread instruction).

Happy New year

Ps. Where did the board pick up the information for the ubuntu icon (bottom left of post) - linuxubuntu. Now disappeared to leave a ? mark

That would be from the user agent string of your browser. If you want to see your browser's user agent string, go to http://whatismyuseragent.com.

The user agent string may not be accurate. Many Ubuntu derivatives report as "Ubuntu," for example. Depending on your browser, you may be able to get a plugin or extension to manipulate your user agent string--I use one to ensure that my user agent sting reports the proper distro.

As for avatars, I for one don't miss them.
