Personal picture: A picture of yourself. Something you would post in a "Post a picture of yourself thread".
Personal statement: Just put some witty quote there. The Yankees forum I belong to uses the same software this one does, so I've seen all this stuff before. Or you can leave it blank. It doesn't matter.
My friends: Just what it says. You add people here you talk to a lot or you like to the list and it'll tell you how many of your friends are online when you are on the site.
We finally have an ignored users list. Thank Jebus.
If it's there, that would be why I didn't see it. I never log out, so I don't see that page again after I log in the first time. I went to the control panel and checked every section and didn't see an option for it.
