Getting started - Profile

By default, your profile will publicly show your e-mail, if you don't want your email publicly shown, this is probably the first thing you should change on your profile! To do this, go to your profile, click "Edit Profile" and select "Privacy", then scroll down to "Email Visibility" and select a privacy option from the drop-down menu.

You also probably want an awesome profile picture to start off with! This is easy, simply go to your profile, select "Edit Profile", select "Avatar" and you can create an avatar or upload a photo!

Getting started - Creating a topic
Create a welcome topic to tell us about you and/or your pets! Simply click on the proper category - in this case, the introductions category for your welcome topic - and select "Create Thread"!

Thanks again for joining our community, we look forward to seeing you around! Remember, be kind!
