Sorry if this is covered somewhere, but I"ve had a look through and had no joy.

I registered on the forum a couple of days ago, and have just paid my 21 pounds. I'm assuming this means I can now upload avatar/signiture etc, but I can't work out how to do it. Does my payment have to be approved before I get these benefits? I noticed when I paid that I was not asked my username which would be a good point of reference.

I've looked through FAQs but they seem to be pretty generic.
TIA

Ben
