Hello All,
We have had a lot of new members join recently which is great for the forum
but as the forum grows it becomes increasingly difficult remembering everyone and their systems, I find myself reading through threads just to remind myself which model they own or which OS they are using. Advice can vary wildly depending on individual set up, so this information is important. Your country of residence can useful too, like when discussing options for TV Tuners and other regional specific choices.
You don't need to list everything, just adding your model and operating system will be a big help.
Members have only been able to add this useful information to their signature before, and still can, but now I have also added the option to add this info to your profile and "Mini Profile" (see below)
I have added preselected questions, drop down menus and buttons to make sharing your system specification easier than ever.
To update/add your system information/location (all optional)...
Click on the "Profile" link in the navigation bar,
Click the "Edit Profile" button (to the right of your name),
Select "Personal" from the tabbed menu at the top,
Input/Edit any of the options you choose,
Don't forget to click "Save Personal Settings".
That's it, all done. Just a few minuets of your time and it could save you a lot of head ache later on.
If you would like to suggest extra options or corrections for the profile fields, please do so here.
Many Thanks
Oliver
