A couple of questions

Post by eddienel10 » Wed Oct 02, 2024 7:26 am

After many years of using APOD I saw a link to a poll on Is APOD a blog? and found this site! Where have you been hiding it?

I have a question on the User Control Panel that I could not see answered in the rules. I was unable to add a signature or Avatar, do these functions become available after a certain number of posts or are they permanently disabled?

My main interest is photography from earth of the sky and eclipses, but I greatly enjoy all the aspects of APOD and hopefully this site. I grew up in the country and have always loved the night skies. Some of you may know me from other sites, I use the same user name on them all.

Cheers from Oz

Welcome! It is clear at night, do you ever see the satellite moving across the sky? That is the same as a star being shifted against a certain background!

Click on your name in the upper right corner of the screen. Then click User Control Panel - Profile. Then you will see the add avatar section appear on the screen and follow it

Regard :)
