I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Need help writing a guide on "How to use Yorkietalk!" I'm thinking of writing new sticky so new members can better use Yorkietalk. So far, this is what I have written, can you think of anything that should be added? New members, is there something that you found confusing, and you think I could make more clear? How to Use YorkieTalk Yorkietalk was created by someone who had a Yorkie, and wanted to learn more about their care. YorkieTalk membership has grown over the years, and so has the site. Learning to navigate it can be confusing for some. Here are some tips to get the most out of Yorkietalk. We have many different forums, the General Forum is the busiest, and this is where you can post a thread introducing yourself to other members. General Yorkshire Terrier Discussion. To see all the forums visit the Index page: Yorkietalk Index Page. As you can see, there are many different forums that include such things, as "Sick and Injured," "Health and Diet," "Grooming" and many others. One overlooked forum is the "Yorkietalk Howto Guides, this forum has many threads, on how to do specific things on Yorkietalk, such as uploading pictures, or personalizing your profile page. YorkieTalk How-To Guides. To start a new thread, go to any of the appropriate forums, and look at the top of the page and you will see on the far left, the words, "New Thread," (See picture) just click on this, and you will be taken to a place to write your message. Don't forget to title your thread, and press, "Submit new thread." The little picture that is posted next to someone's name is called an "avatar"; this is different than the "profile picture" that is posted on your profile page. To upload a picture to use as your avatar, look at the top left hand side of the page, and you will see the words, "User CP" (See Picture) click on this, and it will take you to a page where on the left hand side of the page, you will see such options as "edit avatar" and "edit profile" picture." Click on this, and it will give you instructions on how to proceed, and also, the file limits of the pictures. A word about blogs; this is a feature that allows you to write a specific story or something that you think is interesting or valuable to others. It's more like a diary, and blogs are not meant to be used as the place where you introduce yourself to others, or ask questions, to do this, please use the appropriate forums. If all else fails, just click on someone's avatar, and it will take you to their profile page, where you can ask them for more help. Welcome to YorkieTalk!
