how do you do those cool letters
If by cool letters you mean the different colored text and different sized text go right above the reply box and you'll see a drop down box labled
Fonts just select the type text you want to use
I like this type (comic Sans MS) Select the size text to use ( don't use HUGE though it takes too much space, I like
size 3 it's easy to read quickly) then to get different color text click the drop down box by the letter
A and pick a color.
Bold bright colors work best.

and photo thing?
If you mean the smiley in my post ,

it's just a smiley I have saved in my photobucket account.
If you want to post an avatar under your username then click
My Controls at the top of your screen, then on the left hand side of your screen scroll down to the section that says
Personal Profile and then click on
Edit Avatar Settings then go to
Enter a URL to an online avatar image and paste the URL code for an online Avatar image or custom made avatar that you want and then click
Update Avatar. If you don't have an avatar image that you like you can always resize a photo you like and use it.
If you need any help feel free to PM me or another moderator.
