<br />

<br />
I was wondering, how do you know which forum to post your graphics in- Apprentice, intermediate, or expert?  Do we just decide ourselves, or do one of the staff tell us which level we are on?  I just don't want to post somewhere where I shouldn't.
<br />

Thanks in advance!]]></description>
