    Help Using Excel Forum

    I hope this is the right place to put this, but I have a few questions about using Excel Forum:

    1) I saw our signatures are capped at 50 characters but I see others that look longer? Am I missing something besides 'signature' to use to post something at the bottom of my post?
    2) I can't find a place to update my profile picture. Any suggestions?
    3) Is there a way to tag someone? Ie if someone further up the thread said something, is a quote the best way to get their attention further down the thread? Or can we 'tag' them?

    Thanks for your help

    Q2: Use the User control panel to change your picture: Click the "person" icon on the floating buttons on the right or "user cp" on the top menu bar. Then on the left, find edit profile picture in the My settings panel.
    Q3: Rather than quoting a previous post, just start the response with "@" + the responder's name (e.g.: @acroley1)

    I have wondered about the signature line as well. Mine says 50 characters, but I have seen some that are much longer.

    @nigelbloomy - darn...I was thinking maybe when I hit 'forum contributer' level that I got a bigger signature or something! But since you are a forum contributer and have the same question, I guess that's not the case! There must be some trick to it!

    My understanding is the extra room is reserved for seniors
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    @Acroley1 I have a much higher limit now. I guess I didn't realize I had made it to the next level as a forum contributor.
