I don't understand - you think getting yourself banned will help you?  how will that help you?   banning is not the same thing as deleting your account.  banning simply means you can't log in at all.

I don't appreciate your language and you're acting stupid.

if your only problem is that you don't think you can edit your signature - did you click the SAVE button after you edited?
 
also, it says your last name cannot be empty.  have you TRIED entering a last name?

  Brilliant, you saw my error. I thought it was referring to the last fild on the screen, the 'My comment'. I guess because my account was set up on the last forum, when it was dragged here, it worked. I'll try adding in my name IT's not my only problem, I'm not happy using my old name. I can't change it. Deleting my account would allow me to create a new one with a different name. Alternativly a mod (which I'm starting to belive are fictiscious) could just edit my name for me. FAQs don't work. I'm used to forums, but I con't figure out some basics on here I'd hope the FAQ's would help me with

I've only ever seen ONE person out of the thousands of users on this forum get their login name changed.  the mods are reluctant to do that for whatever reason.

but it's still not worth getting yourself banned over by using language like that.  and as I said, banning does not get your account deleted - only de-activated.

you're likely stuck with the name.

The idea wasn'y to get banned, but be reported so the mod would communicate with me. I'm completly failing to find a way to contact them. I can't PM them, I can't get a responce if I report a  post. If they ban me, I'm guessing it will ban my IP, I'm just wanting my name changed and some guidance on this forum.
 
Just found Quoting and access to fonts requires using IE, so another issue resolved.
 
I didn't think the f word would be considered so bad tbh, maybe it's more common to use without causing upset for the British. At least it wasn't the C word It was just meant as a joke to get reported so I'd get some commucation from the powers that be. (you can't report your own posts.
 
Thanks, My signature has just jump 3 years forward to ebing up to date

that's not the way it works really.  after being reported they will ban you or not.  if they ban you then they will send you an email - sometimes.  sometimes not.  I know of at least one member who was banned temporarily and wasn't told why or how long he'd be banned or anything.  it was just "done" and that was the end of it until he was able to log back in again.

regardless of that - violating the TOS and posting inappropriate language to offend others who read the forum just to suit your purpose is still inappropriate.

it doesn't matter if you think your language is "that bad" or not - it is offensive to people and it's against the TOS of the forum.  you must have known that or you wouldn't have tried it for the purpose you did. 

as far as quoting and proper format for posts, yes, firefox above version 3.6 (IIRC) won't work correctly.  IE works correctly.  I"ve been told that FF new versions WILL work correctly if you use the IE plugin tab (whatever that means - I don't know because I use IE).

Scoot.

The answer is so simple (as far as your current IS). 

Turn off all subscriptions and notifications for the Scoot ID. Then ttop using it. Simples.

Now, go and create a new ID with a your (presumably) new email address. Use that from here on out. Simples.

Now, ask direct questions on this forum about how to use the forum (and all of it's idiosyncratic behavior). Simples.

Don't be a pillock (like me). Simples.

Don't expect the mods to be your slaves to what they would consider simple user issues. Simples.

Simples, roight?

I don't have a new email address. There lies the problem. Changing a user name/deleting and account, seems pretty basic stuff to me. I'd hardly call it 'be my slave'
