its been a while since i tried but is there a function that will allow me to create my own password? i have to re- log in quite often and the one the site gives me gets lost or is way too long. also is there an easy way like photo bucket to load pictures into a topic. i can never figure it out? i always have to load it to the photo bucket site them provide a link. it takes too long.

You can change your password by first logging in and then clicking on 'My Profile' or 'Edit Profile'. ('my profile' is next to your user name on the Control Panel page and at the top of the page in the forums)

After you click on the link, it will take you to your profile/control page.

Right under the orangish bar that says My Profile' you'll see the first horizontal column (on the left) is listed as Login (change password).

Click on Change password and you will go to the form to change your password. (make sure to click 'Ok' when you've filled it out.

Let me know if you have any trouble changing your password.
