Avatar vs Picture vs Signature
I have been trying to update my Avatr/Signature etc. to include many of the items that I see with other users. I haven't had a lot of success and know that I am doing something incorrectly.
Is there a location on the Forum where I can preview what I would "look like" when posting without having to posting a new thread?
Any suggestions would assist. Thanks in advance!

Follow-up ... as shown, only a map of Canada is shown. I would like to replace the map with a photo of me, and have the Canada map also be accompanied by a map of the USA and a photo of my Spyder.

Where you currently have a Canada map is your avatar. You can only have one picture there. Where you have "2014 xxx" is your signature. Edit your signature and put the Canada map there. Then change the avatar to your picture if you want.

You have asked some very good questions.
The Avatar, Profile picture, and signature pictures are three separate and distinct things.
If you go to the homepage (although you CAN access from within the forums also...), you'll see over on the LH side "User CP"
click on it...
That'll get you to where you can tinker around with all three.
I haven't found a way to add more than one signature picture (The one displayed under each post). For that one: I took two pictures, and stuck them together... and then resized them to fit!
Have fun!

There are two ways. First the signature edit dialog under the "Settings menu" gives you a preview pane. All you have to do, to see your progress as you work, is hit the "Preview Signature" button.
The second way is to test your work using the public testing forum as described in post #4 above. You can delete those messages after you are done with them, if you like.
