Did you ever find a good world clock?

How do I get my photo to show up next to my name in postings? I must have missed that setting somewhere and I can't seem to find any instructions on how to do so now.

You and Lena do a wonderful job with the RMP. I enjoy it. Thanks.

Hi Keith...

No, I haven't found a good world clock yet that I can include on the website... I am looking for something that will show times in different parts of the world.

Regarding including a little picture beside your posts in the forum....

Those little pictures are called "avatars," and this is how you add one to your profile so that it will show up in every message that you post:

1) create or resize a little picture of yourself that is 50 pixels by 50 pixels. You can do this in photoshop or any other photo editing program.

2) go to "usercp" (i.e., the user control panel), which you can access by clicking the blue "usercp" button below the red and blue website buttons near the top of the page

3) then click on "edit options"

4) click on "change avatar"

5) click on the "yes" circle to use a cutom avatar

6) click on "browse" to select an avatar from a location of your computer

7) choose the correct location on your computer for the avatar image

8) There might be one or two confirmation buttons that you need to click from here, but.. the rest should be self-explanatory...

If you need more help let me know...

Hi Khashyar,

I think there have been a few questions about the Avatars. Maybe it would be good to post the instructions ina FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section or make it a "sticky" in the General Forum? Just a thought...
