Hi, everyone! As we're all getting used to a new forum, there may be questions about how to do certain things. If anyone has questions, please, post them!
Also, if any new member has a question about how the forum works, this is where you can find help. =D
As questions appear and I (or others) answer them, I'm going to add them to this first post with their answer. If you have a question, please read this entire post first, okay?

Note: This is a tech thread, not a place for questions about Mardi Gras 3000 specifically.
Q: How do I send a PM?
A: Below a member's avatar picture is this symbol:
Click this to send them a private message.
Q: How do I change my display name?
A: Below the MG3K banner at the top of the page, click 'profile.' Directly to the right of your current display name, there will be three links. Click on the second, 'Modify Profile.' Under Account Information is the option 'Display Name.' Here, you can enter any name you wish. Once you've entered your new display name into the text field, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click the button that says 'Modify Profile.' That's all there is to it!
Q: How do I add an avatar picture?
A:Below the MG3K banner at the top of the page, click 'profile.' Directly to the right of your current display name, there will be three links. Click on the second, 'Modify Profile.' Under Personal Information is the option Avatar URL. You will need to have hosted your picture somewhere (like PhotoBucket). Enter the direct link url into this field. Then change the Avatar Width to 100 and the Avatar Height to 100. Scroll down, and click 'Modify Profile.'
Q: How can I have my old post total (from the other forum) added to my current post total?
A: I have everyone's totals from the old forum. =] Just write me here or send a PM, and I'll adjust yours to reflect your old posts, too.
Q: Oh no! I didn't save my old avatar picture from the other MG3K forum. Do you have it, Brianne?
A: Yep! Just message me here, or send me a PM and ask for it.
Q: How can I put my money where my typing is and say thank you to MG3K for making this transition for all us forum members so smooth... and for giving us a place to dream?
