Yendor here, new member.
Trying to start a journal. Went to Journal section t-z then clicked on new thread. Put the name of my journal in the subject line, but it does not show up. Instead I have new member. I also do not have the journal symbol below my profile so I'm not sure if I created a journal or just a new thread. How do I set up a journal, followed instructions, but didn't work.

There is a delay in the little journal icon showing up, but it's there now! Click on it and you'll see that your journal is indeed in the T-Z section and it's title is "New Member"!!

Congratulations! Smart move!

I do see the Icon now, but when I go to Journals T-Z it list the name of my Journal as new member.
When I created the Journal I put back to the Future as the Title. How do I change that from new member to a Journal name or is that delayed as well ? Thanks for your help.

I'd suggest that you go to your journal and click on the "Report this post to a moderator" line. A message box will pop up and you can write: Please rename my journal "Back to the Future". It will be attended to quite soon.

Thanks for your help, I will give that a try.
