HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR Waterfowler.com MEMBERSHIP How to change your username or password: After you log in, click on your username in the box to the left. You can change any of your information displayed. Only you and WFC administration can see all the information that is displayed. Keep your address updated so you receive magazines when they are mailed. Important note: Do not erase your address from your profile as this is our masterfile and we will have no address to mail your magazine. Other users can not view this information when they click on your profile. It is limited to yourself and WFC administration. How to post your avatar: Log-in. Click on your username and you will again be on the Edit Profile page. Scroll down to Upload Picture. PC click on Browse or Mac click on Select File. Open your JPG file. Your JPG file will automatically be sized correctly. Scroll to the bottom of the Edit Profile page and click on SAVE. Special Note: If you are replacing your photo with a new photo, first you must delete the old photo, click on Browse or Select File to load your new photo, click on SAVE, then you must quit your internet browser. When you reconnect to your internet, and sign into WFC, the program will have updated your new photo. How to send a Private Message (PM): There are a couple of places to click to get to private messages; just below your username in the box to the left on the home page and on the menu bar on the Forums Pages. Once you get to the private message page, you will see all your messages. At the top, you can click on Send New Message to be able to send another member of WFC a private message that only he can see. Things to remember: A username must be typed exactly as shown on the forums. The program recognizes small and capital letters, symbols and spaces. Do not copy and paste the username as spaces are sometimes added causing an error in the user name and you will be taken to the join page of WFC. Also, the Message Subject block requires information or the recipient will not be able to see your message. How to post a picture in the gallery: Click the Member Areas and choose Member Photo Gallery. Then choose the category most descriptive of the photo you wish to post. At the top of the page, select Post New Image. Click Browse or Select Image and open your JPG file. Type a caption to your photo (optional) and then go to the bottom of the page and click on Submit. Special Note: Be sure your photo is 300 to 350 pixels wide. How to post a classified ad with or without a picture: To post a classified Ad, go to Members Area, on the drop down menu, click on Post a Classified Ad (to see all Classified Ads, go to Public Areas and click on Classifieds). Type in your title, click on the Category arrow to drop the menu and choose the appropriate category for your item. Type all the information you want others to know about the item you have for sale. If you want to include a picture of your item, go to the Image block and click on Browse or Select File, open your JPG file. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on SUBMIT. You can place an ad without a photo, but if later you decide you want to post a photo, you must delete the old ad and retype a new one including the photo. Special Note: Be sure to size your photo 300 to 350 pixels as this program will not automatically size your picture IF YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM AFTER TRYING THE ABOVE HELPFUL HINTS, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 815-337-8300 – MONDAY THRU FRIDAY – 8:30 TO 5:00 PM Central Time or email customerservice@waterfowler.com
