SSA Forum | Setting up your account

Recommended Posts

Ok, as you may have noticed this new software is full of great new features. I'll try to address how to use them in this thread.

----------------------------------------

Facebook Connect.

You can connect your facebook account with your SSA account, sync your profile pic, status, and about me info from facebook to your SSA account.

example, if you adjust your facebook status, it will reflect in the index side bar on SSA :)

to set this up:

1.)Click on your username in top right (must be logged in)

2.)Click the profile tab > manage facebook connect > adjust your settings, that is.

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

Status Update Feature

1.)Click on your username in top right (must be logged in)

2.)Click the profile tab > "Update" button next to your user status > edit status, that is.

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

View New posts... aka."Today's active content"

1.)There's a link for this right above the active users section.

2.)Or click this link

----------------------------------------

Side Bar - Annoying you?

1.)Simply click the "x" above it and you'll have a layout simular to the old one

2.)Enjoy

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

Embed YOUTUBE video

1.)Click the "insert media" icon in the post box

2.)Past youtube link

3.)

4.) Result

----------------------------------------

I'll keep this post updated as questions roll in.

Welcome to the new age of forums :)

I looked and searched but couldn't find any information on this. I would like to add an avatar but when I try it says member_profile_disabled.

Is there a minimum number of posts before it's active, or is this feature permanently disabled?

Click on your "user name" at the top right.

 

There is a drop down list, then click on "my profile"

 

Then hover over where the avatar would be to the left of your user name.  You will see a "change" button.  Click that. ;)

That is what I did, but every time I try to upload an image I get the message "member_profile_disabled", It won't let me upload, so I tried the gravitar and that worked.

Nope, nothing works, I can't upload and gravitar doesn't work.

I didn't even have to try. I don't know what you did, but my avatar just appeared.

Thank you.
