becauseimsunny Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Hi guys, I'm a big BBT fan but I'm new here! This is also the first time in ever that I joined a fandom forum. I'm dumb as soup...so I kinda don't know how to navigate. I've been reading threads and they're fun. Can somebody tell me how do I get a profile picture? How do I like a post? How do I look for specific topics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you've made a few posts you can go into your profile and change your picture and add a signature that will go on the bottom of the posts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripper Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Welcome to the forums, sunnydiamante. I hope you enjoy being a member of the community. As other members have said, some of those profile features don't come available until you have made three posts which have been approved by a moderator. Now you have four posts, you should be able to edit your profile - although the forum system is currently a little buggy, so that portion of the site is having some trouble. I'm working on fixing that so you can edit your profile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have changed my avi! So, how do I look for specific topics, say Fan Fiction or those fan fiction challenges? Because I read on fanfiction.net and they sometimes say stories come from the forum's fanfic challenges. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fanfic thread here: http://forum.the-big-bang-theory.com/forum/20-fan-fiction/ There is an option to view all the 'unread content' at the top and bottom of each page BUT be careful about doing this if you do not want to view spoilers You can subscribe to threads, at the top right of the page it says 'follow this' there are options to get notifications After you have subscribed to a few threads you can go to 'activity' (at the top left of the page beside the 'browse' option) and chose the drop down which says 'My activity streams' and chose just to see all the unread content in the threads you follow so that you don't accidentally get yourself spoiled Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first joined, I didn't have that too. After you post a certain number of posts I think you'll be able to like posts. I don't remember when the like button appeared for me. Don't feel deprived.

You have to have at least 3 posts reviewed and approved by the moderators. Yours is at 4 now so you're good to go. ^.^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do I have to wait for a moderator to approve my post? Are there a certain number of posts newbies need to make before they show up automatically, or does everyone's posts always need a moderator to approve first? I'm so new at this, so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one our spam-prevention policies. After your next post is approved, your posts will no longer need to go through a moderator.
