Thanks very much Rebeccak.
This should prove handy to me. Hopefully I’ll be able to post some of my work here soon. 
FORUM PRIMER: New to CGTalk? Learn how to post IMAGES here!
Hey, um, I’m new to CGTalk, and I’m also interested in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics, I’m going to college and I’d like to learn 3-D character modeling. This is very interesting for of art, and I’d like to learn more. Does anyone know of any software that I could get to start learning how to do this? I do use Photoshop, but I’m pretty sure that Photoshop has nothing to do with this - it’s on a whole new level. Can someone help me out?

BTW Most ISP’s come with a few megs of disk space so you can put a few pics up on your own page for the most part.
Aaaahhh! I’m having problems with posting an avatar! It says something like the file is too big. Well, I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for the help. Deifnantly a newbie to this site but I’m lovin it. I dont want to post any of my own work until I’m fond of the site so thanks for helpin me out. I’ll post when I’m ready.
I’m new to the site and was editing my profile trying to add an avatar. I’m not sure if it has something to do with me not being a paying member but does anyone know how to upload an avatar? I’d appreciate any help, thanks

Nevermind! I found it. I guess they put it there a couple of days ago, because it wasn’t there when I checked. 
As I understand it you’re supposed to be able to upload images to CGTalk if you’re a member with more than two posts cleared, rather than having to host it someplace else. I cleared two posts days ago and still haven’t been given the option of attaching image files to my posts? Are the administrators normally this slow to manage the accounts? It’s pretty frustrating- I should have had my entry into ‘The Journey Begins’ challenge more than a week ago.

Why don’t my threads show up? I’m sorry if this is an inappropriate place to ask. I didn’t know where to post this…
akstylish,
New members must have their first 2 posts manually validated. I just validated yours.
