You should be able to access all the options now.

To create a signature go to the upper left and click on "User CP". Below that (on the left side) there is an option to "edit signature".... you input and have to save your info there.

To create a journal or a photo gallery you enter into that area from the main menu. On the top there is a button for "New Thread". Click this and you will create your own journal or gallery. This will automatically link to your user name and the shortcut will be on the bottom of all your posts. Whatever you name your first post is what your journal or gallery is called.

Hope this helps! If you still have technical issues you can leave a message on the techincal quesions area (which is on the bottom of the home page).
