Hi

[Bigred]

Hey, I just joined this forum (obviously...)
I am fairly technologically savvy. I just got a new laptop so I thought now would be a good time to get involved in a forum because now, I have a computer than can actually do the things I read about. (the computer I had before was 6.5 years old). I look forward to posting, replying, etc.

P.s. Wheres the upload avatar box? I checked under Edit Avatar but I don't see it. Is it hiding under some other menu?

In addition to this, private messaging, attaching images, and signatures have been disabled for users with less than 40 posts. Yes, it sucks, but we have been hit by loads of spammers using these as a way of trying to get their crap on the forums. None of them make to 40 posts, so the measure works for this.

Welcome to the Forums, unfortunately the rules are a bit "mean" as some new members say but these were necessary (stupid spammers should go die...)

But I win unleash the ban hammer on one of them.... some day...
