Here's a few tips, and if anyone has further questions, just ask. 
1. How do I put an avatar under my name?
First, you must be logged in. Look at the top left of the page for "My Control Center." Click "Edit Profile". In the middle of the page you will see "Personal Photo URL." Add the URL where your image is located. I recommend using an image that is 60x60 pixels.
2. How do I create a signature?
Click on "My Control Center." Click "Edit Preferences." Use EZcodes to center, alter font color or size, or add an image. It's a good idea to try to keep your signature a reasonable size, just as a courtesy to others. Of course, there isn't any rule that says you can't have enormous signature...just don't be suprised if everyone points and laughs at you for it.
3. How do I put a link in my message or signature?
Use the ezcode [ link="url address" ]Name of link[ /link ]
NOTE: be sure to remove the spaces between the brackets - I had to add them to keep ezBoard from trying to turn my example into a link.
4. How do I post pictures within my message or in my sig?
Use the EZcode command for images. Example:
[ image]add your image URL here[ /image]
NOTE: be sure to remove the spaces between the brackets - I had to add them to keep ezBoard from trying to turn my example into an image.
5. How do I make an image "clickable?"
Simply nest it between link codes. [ link=url address of link ][ image noborder ]url address of image[ /image ][ /link ]
6. How do I change the font color?
[ font color=blue ]words[ /font ]

There are a number of reasons why this may happen. The first thing to check is under Edit Preferences to see if you have High Security enabled. The next thing to check are your cookie settings. If they are set on high, lower your security levels. Also, you might have stale cookies. Try deleting all your cookies and then log in.
If you are on a network, you may not be able to stay logged in. This depends on the administrator's settings.
