hi walter, nice to hear from you again!

1) account
- as asked at my first login (probably the same for you), i said yes to the transition from my old bbs-account to the google one
- then i think (i'm not 100% sure) i could edit my old messages (which were signed "me" instead of "krenek")
- right now (i don''t know why!?) my old message are signed "krenek" (no edit available) and the new ones (like this one) are labelled "me" (edit ok)
- further information: i haven't joined "google+" yet, officially

2) avatar
- in a so called "me" post, i clicked the arrow in "post reply", then "show activity"
- i got a "recent activity" page where there is a google account settings link: clic
- a new page where you can upload your avatar
- this is a page where you can join google+ (i haven't yet as already written)

i hope it helps - - -

3) notifications
- i received an email containing your reply to my post
- i don't know where i can change my profile: i mean, i don't want to receive any notification
