You can chat two ways :-

A) You just post in the box at the bottom of your screen and hit reply
B) You click chat which launches a chat box which has a lot of extra features and posts to the main screen also. its good fun  8-) (if the sounds annoy you  - you can turn them off in the main chat screen)

3) Photo Gallery

You have your own personal gallery which you can upload to from your User Control Panel and also the China Pictures public one.
Both are visible to everyone.
However in the public one you cannot delete other peoples pictures or edit them,
If posting on the public "China Pictures" album please comment the picture with where it was taken so other users can see.
Images are currently limited to jpg format and 1024x768 in size.

4) Next China Visit

If you are visiting China soon, please fill this box in on your profile on signup or later, its great to see who is going and where.

If you find a problem on the board or something thats broken then please dont bother the mods with it, PM me or post on the Site feedback,bug reports and development discussion forum and I'll try to fix it.

Hi Peter. Go to User Control Panel -> Profile -> Edit Avatar. You should be able to upload a small image there that can be used for your profile picture. Have fun! :ugeek:
