    How do you make those fancy icons?

    Where do anyone get those icons next to thier name and how do you show your cruise in days, hours, minutes, seconds? They are both so impressive.

    Welcome pickipicki!

    I had to ask the same question when I joined....

    Go to the Control Panel and in the edit profile area is a section to post your cruise dates and stuff...I think that is how aI did it!

    Picki, your icon looks great to me!

    As for the signature,etc. click Control Panel at the top of your page. When it comes up, in the left column there are several options. Click Edit Signature, and put what you would like. Keep in mind that this will only show once per page, the first time you post. Then after you save that, click Edit Profile. You will see areas to type in your past and future cruises, and other info about yourself. There will also be places to type in the dates of your future cruises, and CLF will use that to calculate your countdown clocks. The cruise info will come up on every post on the bottom. Other info will show up elsewhere (your birthday will go on the calendar, your home will go on the top right of all your posts, etc.)

    Welcome to CLF Picki!!!
    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    OK, PPP, you're almost there.

    Going back to the control panel and Edit Profile, right below where you typed in your past and future cruises, you have 3 places labelled "countdown clock" . Type in the date and time of your future cruises. The hardest part is to put in the correct time zone! That's really it.
    Remember to type ST (EST, PST, CST) if the cruise is after Oct. 30 and before April 1( I think), and DT if you are sailing in Daylight Savings Time.
    If this is too confusing, or you don't know the time your cruise sails, just put the date, and you'll be done!
