Hi, I'm a little confused about your confusion re: forum avatars because it looks like you've already got that part figured out (your picture with George W. Bush and those other guys is your forum avatar -- and you were able to remove your other picture, the one with nipples, without any apparent difficulty).

Private messages are messages that are addressed directly to you, like email messages. No one else can read them. Visitor messages are messages that appear on your profile. This, for instance, is a visitor message. Anyone can read this.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the welcome. Don't mean to monopolize your time but where do you get 'forum avatars'. Before coming here I only visited News and magazine sites. They always provided an avatar. I'm dumb about the trendy things about the interenet.

Just happened to go to my profile page to look up something and noticed your message. I'm looking at my 'Private Messages' on the top right and it still says 'Unread-0...Total-3' . What is the difference between Visitor Messages and 'Private Messages'? I think I communicated with you the first time in a 'Private Message.? I dunno. I learning. I should probably do some reading about the site somewhere-Yeah, I still havn't read the directions for how to operate my DVD recorder. One day. -------Thanks for your help------Watersisland

Hi Waterisland! No worries, I was just thinking about the people who like to visit SLU from work. I'm luckier than some in that I work from home, but others can't have tits out on the screen, y'know? Not trying to be a nursemaid, heh -- and nor was I offended.

"Forum" avatars are different from "Second Life" avatars -- forum avatars are simply pictures that represent us and appear whenever we make posts on SLU. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding Second Life avatars, but bear in mind that while I do know a lot, I don't know everything and you may be better off asking the forum at large.

Welcome!
