The sight of me with my laptop in my lap, finding information quickly through the SV grapevine, posting music, pictures, links, etc., is a common one in Louis' studio. I've come to realize that I am kind of like Watchtower! Hence the screen name!!
As you all get to know me, you'll know that I am constantly on top of all things internet concerning our favorite composer. I fancy myself savvy enough to run the website, manage these forums & hopefully address any problems you may have.
Don't be surprised, though, if you get a blank stare through the computer screen & a pathetic whimper as I pull the blankets over my head. Hopefully that won't happen too often, but I'd like you all to be prepared: like GI Joe used to say "Knowing is half the battle." So if there is anyone else here that thinks they can lend a "technical hand" please identify yourself to me with an email.
The first thing I wanted to address here in this particular thread is the management of your account. Some of you are already familiar with these types of message boards (this is a forum template from a website called "ProBoards") but for those of you who are new here, I'm going to address the first question everyone had for me regarding screen names, names, and avatars.
First, your username has very specific parameters :
*You may only use alphanumeric characters (A-Z and 0-9) in your username and it must be between 1 and 18 characters long.
You may login using other accounts (like Twitter or Facebook) so choose your method.
But, you are not locked into that username here on the boards! Once you login, view your profile (clicking on your username is an easy way to do it), and you are given the option to "Modify Profile" - click on that & change your information! "Display Name" is then the name that will be displayed for all the forum members to see!
You can use an avatar provided by the forum (boring!!) or use something of your own! You will be asked for an "Avatar URL" so if you have a Flikr or Photobucket or some other online photo album just post the link there.
If you have any other questions concerning the modification of your profile please post your questions here and I will get back to you as quickly as possible! OR email me: lisa@louisfebre.com
