All you need to do is go to the main page, and log in there. As long as you don't log out you will always stay logged in.

Yes. I said in the announcement we were working to rectify that.

Well then that particular image is too big. You'd probably get the same message on eastern.

If you would like to use our attachment system the maximum image size is 2mb. That is more than enough and Eastern has the same 2mb restriction. If your image is larger, use ImageShack or TinyPic.

What you put into your signature is not an image. It is a Flash file, which we do not allow and didn't allow on the old board either.

The one you put in for me wasn't working so I tried that one which didn't work either. How can I get it to work?

Also, how do I adjust my time settings? I am about 6 hours off right now, tried to find a place to set my time zone but maybe it's universal to the site? Do I need to adjust anything?

Thanks
