Title: Hello from Canada
Post by: Mangusdog on January 13, 2012, 05:25:24: :wave:

Just wanted to quickley introduce myself. I am new to the wonderful world of playmobil, started out with a few knights to go with a (non-playmobil) castle we bought out DD2 for Christmas. They've slowly been multiplying, but we have a LOOONG way to go to catch up to any of you here LOL. Besides knights I don't really know where we are going in terms of theme. We have one pirate set, an adventure advet I haven't opened yet and I am finding the new fi?ures quite addictive. I pretty much love everything!!

Next step is trying to get my avatar to work. I use flickr to upload all my photo's, but I seem to be having a hard time getting the url to work. I've searched the forum but I still don't quite have it. Any helpful hints would be appreciated :)

Photobucket is a good solution for you to upload pictures and share them here. :)

(It all starts with a couple of sets.. then a theme.... or two... )

I think your avatar image may be too big.. Try resizing it...

Have just sent you an email about this, so hopefully we'll be able to get it sorted for you soon. :)9

I use Flickr all the time for my photos any more. They've made it much easier. On the page for the photo there is a share button towards the top. It gives you a drop down, choose the Grab the BB Code/ HTML option and set it to BB code. I find the 500 pixel size works well in forums. The copy/paste and you are done. Once you've set the options you like it will remember them and it goes even faster

Post by: Mangusdog on January 13, 2012, 17:34:44: Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, and thank you Sylvia for the extra help :)

I am looking forward to start posting photos of our (small) collection. Since we are just starting out I think this will be a great place to log our PM journey.

You are so lucky to be in Mississauga! The Playmobil warehouse store is at 6430 Kennedy Road (more info at www.playmobil.ca (http://www.playmobil.ca)). You will have to tell us about your vist when you go!
