Hi Olds;
I hope things are settling down a bit for you. Did Trey ever contact you. He didn't respond to my email. I may have his phone number. I lost a lot of Outlook contacts when my computer crashed, after updating to Windows 8.1. I will dig around and see if I can find in an old email.

On the Recipe Site,
Click on "Forum Actions". Then click on either "General Setting" or "Edit Profile". That takes you to a screen with a list of options. On the left of the screen you will see choices such as "Edit Signature", "Edit Avatar" etc.
