thanks very much, hogg. thought abit... wonder, ok, "where" do I post pix? figure I can figure that out by scouting around, but then thought, "which" thread is more appropriate for what? figure, "either way" I'd feel like an idiot -- but hey, that's what "questions" are for, eh? I have uploaded my first pic, as profile pic, opted not for avatar... 1. if no avatar, will profile pic come through in posts? 2. how long's it take for posts/pix to be approved, and show up? (actually I already see posts coming through.) I'm sure I'll have more questions later... don't mind the noobie, lol. ;)
