Well i have made it this far after lurking since May. Please bear with me as I learn my way around actually doing something besides reading.

Hey Hillbilly, We're practically neighbors. Welcome aboard. Let's see, something popular you may want to try is putting some info in a signature block.... It is a convenient way to share info. Take care and have fun.

Good suggestion, KYSol. Now a how to:

At the top of any page of posts, select User CP, then on the left select Edit Signature. Add in whatever you think is appropriate, such as VIN if any, color and options, etc.

Enjoy!

Hi brother hillbilly. Not far from you, live close to cookeville.

Hillbilly · 11-02-2005, 10:08 AM

Thanks for the welcome, and definitely appreciate any and all tips on forum use and navigation.
Ordered my car back in May and have been setting at 2030 forever. Dealership about useless as far as info. Sure will miss cricket's help. Will play with signature. How do I get a custom avatar??

Hillbilly · 11-02-2005, 10:09 AM

Not much but it's a start.

Gizmo · 11-02-2005, 10:11 AM

Again, at the top of any page of posts, select User CP, then on left select Edit Avatar. On that page you can choose one of the standard Avatars, or upload from your own computer. Must be no bigger than 125 x 125 pixels or 24.4 KB.

Looks pretty loaded to me. Seems like the only thing you don't have listed is floormats?

Hillbilly · 11-02-2005, 10:23 AM

Have the floor mats also just forgot to put them down. Loaded except for onstar. Have onstar on my truck but found although it was nice for hands free phone it just wasn't worth the cost/use, and on a ragtop???

Welcome to the forum, Hillbilly. Don't feel alone. I have also been sitting at 2030 and haven't had any news in ages. The sales manager at my dealership was a friend who left for another job and the new guy just ignores my requests for VOMS checks. I know that I'm in the system at 2030 because Cricket checked for me a couple of times but have been out of it for a month or so. Don't know another way to get status report on event code updates. Is there a way anyone? Anyway, hang in there Billy, our days will come!

Thanks for the welcome Birdliver. You'd think after twenty years in the Navy and the hurry up and wait I wouild have learned patience, but NO. Guess it's not optional in this case. Still trying to figure out how to upload a custom avatar, if anyone can offer some guidance. Been searching but still haven't found anything on it.

Gizmo · 11-02-2005, 10:54 AM

Hillbilly, did you miss my post #7 above?

Hey Hillbilly. Did you see the post on rally stripes? Check it out!

Hillbilly · 11-02-2005, 11:07 AM

Giz, read your post and tried, even created the avatar, but couldn't figure out how to up load. Of course that was before I found I had to be a member for 30 days with 30 posts. Thanks again for the info

Hillbilly · 11-02-2005, 11:15 AM

KYSOL,

course there's always duct tape it comes in different colors nowadays.
