can't figure out why my text does not show

I just posed my first avatar (general discussion--avatar test, but my text does not show.

My signature does not appear either.

Any suggestions?

Yep. Use a smaller avatar.

The picture you used was the width of the screen and all the text was pushed off the right side of your screen.

Try to use an avatar that's no larger than 85 pixels wide. If you need help, let me know.

Thanks,

Doug, go easy with Baja Vida.
We take him to Baja and so far we always managed to get him home.

I have never used this site but I saw it posted else where on this site. It is supposed to reduce JPGs.

The pic you posted was a constantly updated pic from a weather source.

I can't alter it in the avatars area.

If you'd like to choose a single image to use, I'd be glad to resize it for you and put it in place for you.

Even if you just gave me a link to a graphic to use would be fine.

Regards,

Technology and Computer Stuff

I have made a living in hi-tech, deep space world for the last 40 years. I use computers perhaps 14 hours a day for work and play. At 60, I'm beyond the "I want to understand EXACTLY how it works so I can replicate the situation." Now I find myself in the "Just tell me how to do it" deal. Fortunately, our two sons know well how to deal with the contemporary problems I or their mother are likely to experience. While I render a question to them knowing full well I will be told that they've already answered this same question 10 times before, I still find it's more expeditious to ask and withstand the pain than it is to solve the problem on my own. I'm rewarded to find that I'm not alone!!!!
