Great guide! 

About secure passwords: Jonathanpb made a guide about them - you can read it here. 

Oh, I didn't know that. Oh well. The more the merrier!

Thanks!

True, but isn't ghti12423fjsdudufheer a little to hard to remember?

Just start with a short but complicated password and add to it over time; I did that, and it works well. 

Hey!!!How are you guyz doing !!
Welcome scratchers and scratchers-to-be. Please read this guide before you make an account.

1. Your username. This is very important. As you can't change this in the future.
Before you enter a username, look around on the forums to see other scratchers
names. Try to get inspired by other peoples usernames. But don't try to copy other usernames. It just annoys the original user and displays a lack of creativity.

2. Your password. Make this unique. But don't make it long or random. Like: ghti12423fjsdudufheer. That password is too long and confusing. If the password makes sense, then it can be long. Like: qwertyuiop123. It's not a random jumble of numbers and letters and therefore is much easier to remember and is harder to guess.
Try to add capitals to your password. Like: QwertyUiop123. It makes it even harder to guess. And finally, substitute numbers for letters. Like: Qw3rtyU10p123. That is a good password. (now don't use it though).

3. Now go and make your account!

4. Profile picture. So you've made your account. Now you want a profile picture instead of a blank cat. Look on the internet for different things. Make sure the image is small. Because if it's too big, it will look pixelized. Also make sure the file size is small.
Anything too big in file size can't be put on. Animated gifs have always been a favourite.

I have a question. How do you change your signature?

How you made it in the first place. Go to Profile, Personality.

Don't people usually make accounts before checking the forums, not the other way around? :s great guide..but that just came to mind.

To add on to your post: If you want to use an image on your computer, save it and share it on an image hosting site such as imageshack. 

and to add on to your post, there is a great guide about posting pictures onto the forums here: (link to forum topic)
