HI all newbies, some of you may be a bit confused about getting around the site so thought I'd pop in to lend you all a helping hand. 1st things 1st, you have to pop in here to introduce yourselves, how do you do that??.... easy..... you'll see at the top left of the newbie section there's a tab headed start new thread, click on that then just type a little message about yourselves then at the bottom click on submit, done!!!! you've now got yourself in the door. Once you've done this you'll have made your 1st post, a post is a message/reply. Then take a wander around the site, look at some of the topics started, if they interest you then reply, or if you want to ask someone a question or start your own topic then use the same method as starting a post in here. Once you've made 5 posts/replies, you can then start up your own album, you can upload pics of any cards you've made, doesn't have to be CuP cards. To create and album you need to click on the gallery tab, you'll find that under the forum logo, once in there you need to create an album, so for instance I would maybe call mines " Diane's Cards" then save this, to upload all you need to do is go back into your albums, click on upload, browse the files in your PC, open the 1 you want to upload then click upload, remember to put the picture into YOUR album, you'll see a little drop down box with the destinations, you're looking for your album name, click on it and your pic should go straight into your album. Another thing that changes once you've made enough posts is that you will be able to send and receive PMs, these are private messages, you'll find them on the top right of the forum page, you'll also be able to add people as your friend and be able to join all of us chatters in the chatbox. if any of you are trying to find posts/ threads yopu've made then go to your profile, then statistics and you'll see a list of all thread and posts you've made since joining, it can be difficult at times finding your posts as there are so many each day, so, going through your profile is an easy way to find out if people have replied to posts left by you xx I hope this helps some of you settle in, if you have any questions then ask, if I don't pop in to answer then someone will. Most importantly, have fun on the site, we're like one huge happy crafting family here, always there to lend a hand. TC Diane xxx

I now have a tutorial on forum albums in the Main Message Centre section of the forum, you'll find it near the top of that section, I also have information on how to upload a picture for youre profile, you'll find that here in the newbie section just under this post, hope you find this information useful xx

It's great isn't it, I feel so honored, to have my post stickied is quite an achievement in my book. Thing is, we've all been new before, all felt a bit lost and confused, so why not help out other newbies, can only be for the good. TC Diane xx
