I'm sorry :( to ask what many may consider to be a simple question, which I should be able to fugure out on my own.. but I need help.

How do I find where I can change my forum preferences so I can turn on private messages and make a signature? Whatever button that lets you do that is not jumping out at me.

Also, why are there 2 types of forums here? One forum screen only has maybe 6 or 7 areas, and the other has more than 10. I've gotten to the bigger one only a couple of times and seem to be stuck in the small one. And when I did get to the bigger one, i didnt do anything special but click the "Second Life Forums" link at the top of this message posting page. But if I use the forum link from the menu on the main secondlife.com website I get the smaller forum.

Thanks in advance!

Ok I have 6 menus across the top of the screen:

- About Second Life Menu: 6 choices, non are control panel

- Community: 5 choices; no control panel

- Second Life News: 4 choices; no control panel

- Downloads : 4 choices; no control panel

- Service & Support & Your Account menus; neither have a control panel option.

I use Netscape 7.1, is that a problem?

Thanks for the help Chip!

At the very bottom of the page on the left side is a dropdown box labeled "forum jump"

In the list you'll see "user control panel"

Unfortunately that forum jump thingy isn't on the main forum page........only if you click on a specific forum will it show up. These forums and knowledge bases could be more user friendly.
