So we can put statuses on our profiles now. I thought it was a cross between FB and twitter, but now I see we have a limited amount of characters we can post, that's like twitter.....maybe sometime later it can be unlimited?

I'm not sure if that would be possible as I think whatever you put in there is going to show up in your Avatar if I'm understanding that correctly. That would be a Jordan question.

The character limit won't change, but your status is kind of like your title... basically, the text that appear under your avatar in threads.

I'm still able to post in the social groups. I have a link in my favorites to take me there: StephenKing.com Message Board

Not sure if it will work, and I'm not sure how long the groups will even be up.
I'm not sure if they're supposed to still be accessible, thanks. It may be that until Nov 7th (I think?) while there is still access to P.M's etc, the groups will still be visible/accessible, but will probably be shut down after that.

I couldn't even find my old head banging stick man guitarist, can you no longer choose generic board avatars? I shall use Pennywise until I make something else.
No, there isn't a list to choose from anymore, you can save something to your computer and upload to here. (It may be possible for you to save your old avatar if you still wanted to use that?)

Hmmm.... it looks a bit sad when it's not moving. It moves on my profile page. I think I will make another guitar based avatar until/if you guys can get them to move.

I've tried to update the status under my avatar a couple times and nothing happens and I don't know what I'm doing wrong :m_spin:
Hover over your username, (top right of page) a drop-down menu will appear, go to Personal Details and fill in the space that says Status Message with whatever you'd like. (within reason) Remember to click Save Changes when you're finished.

And it still didn't change *heavy sigh* I just wanted it to say Prolific Member because it took me like 3years to become one lol
Hmmm, that's strange. Did you click Save Changes at the bottom of the page?

Edit: I think I remember Jordan mentioning something about changes not taking effect for 20 minutes? I'm not sure he was actually referring to this though.
