One more question...how do I get an AVATAR? I have also tried searching but I'm a bit computer illiterate.

You have to be a subscriber.
Here's a thread that talks about it

Justgeorgi, I moved your thread to the Administration forum, which is where you can ask questions about MousePad procedures.

Drince linked you to the thread about subscriptions. You have to be a subscriber to have an avatar here. If you have any further questions, please ask. :)

You're going to have to do some searching online for an avatar - then download it to your computer. Go to Google and type in the AVATAR. You'll get a list of avatar sites that offer freebies for download.
