Please bear in mind that any information you provide concerning your occupation and interests will be public.
In your Preferences, I strongly suggest setting "Always show my email address:" to NO. This will prevent unregistered visitors to the forum from contacting you directly. If you choose NO, the only way a visitor to the board will be able to contact you is to register and use the Private Messaging feature. The VintAxe management can then assist you if a registered user misuses Private Messaging.
When choosing an Avatar, I recommend taller, narrow images over wide short images. The maximum width of an Avatar has been set to 100 pixels.
