How Save Drafts So You Don't Lose Them …
So, are you one of those people who do their posts straight from the site without doing a draft on word? Have you ever lost said work in a middle of a shut down or a slow slight? If your answer to both of these is yes, then this should help you keep your posts even when unfortunate things happen.

• Step One: Go to your profile top of the page; seven from the left in case you can't see it)
• Step Two: Click edit profile (on the right next to a wheel thing and above the following people area)
• Step Three: Click settings (third button from the left) then scroll down until you see enable drafts (I use ctrl F and type in enable because it's faster; but for those who can't see it; it's right under forum themes.)
• Step Four: Go down until you see “Save Account Settings” and click on that; then you should be done.
  

How to add icons/avatars/pics/etc
Same way on how to get to drafts except instead of going to settings; you do the following:
{Icons}

• Step One: Go to your profile
• Step Two: Click edit profile
• Step Three: You'll automatically be on the tab; so just click upload/linked. Once the box is up, there are two things you can do. 
• Step Four A: You can either click the area where the link should go and paste the link in there. Once the link is in there click upload. 
• Step Four B: Or if you want to upload a icon; go to Google or any image site you may know of; find an image you want to use, save it to your computer then click on where it says select image where it says upload image … above the linked box.
• Step Five: now that's its uploaded you should see your icon pic. Go to the bottom and click saved and your done.

{Avatars}

• Step One: go to your profile and then click edit
• Step Two: go to personal section (Second tab from the left)
• Step Three: scroll down till you see avatar section 450x200
• Step Four: put your link in the shaded area of avatar section
• Step Five: scroll down and save your done.

{Signature}

• Step 1: go to profile and then click edit
• Step 2: go to personal section
• Step 3: scroll down to the signature section once there use the following code by either going to Photobucket or some other image site and clicking on an imaged link that has img here

[/quote][/li][/ul][/img] or find an image you want to use via Google or somewhere and paste the url in the middle of the image here[/img]. Either way works; though I suggest re-hosting your own image so there are no future problems.[/li][li]Step 4: scroll down and then save your done.
