Where should I post questions on how to use this site?

I don't see a correct place to post questions about using this site, but here are my questions if anyone could pretty please help with an answer:
1. Personal icon/avatar -- I notice people use their own. How and where do I upload mine so I can "choose" it under the preferences on here from the list or otherwise put my own picture for an avatar instead of one in the list?
2. Under the Avatar, sometimes there's a line or two of witty/descriptive writing -- how does one put that there?
3. In a post, is there anyway to use an image (not the URL, an actual picture) as a link, as you would do with HTML? I tried imbedding the image symbol within a link insertion, that doesn't work, so maybe it won't work. As in, here's a small picture, and when you click on it, you see the bigger picture, but there's no text involved.

2. You need 10,000 posts!
3. Use [IMG ] url [/IMG ] style coding. I believe it is referred to as 'nova code.'
Also, you cannot make a picture a link.
Hope that helps.

Amanda, of course you can. [ L=url] [ img]urlofimage[ /img] [ /L]

I interpreted the question to hyperlinking a picture, along the lines of <a href=www.website.com><img src="www.website.com/image.jpg"></a>.

The html you posted is the same as the novacode I posted. If you wrap link tags around the image in your sigline, for example, you can turn it into a link.

That's okay.
I tried just about every novacode combination I could think of on the testing forum the other day to link to my website from the image in my sigline, to no avail.

2. You must have 10,001 posts before you can "choose your own title". You then send a PM to carolj (board administrator) telling her what you want and if it isn't offensive, illegal, or some such nastiness, she will eventually change it for you. Eventually.
of the page with the threads on it, or try under the navigation menu. (if you use this
one be sure to tick the coin forum).
Otherwise it's probably best to just ask right in a thread rather than start a new one.
It might not work though in which case starting a thread might be the best bet.
