Up loading Avatars - Gwarsbane - 03-07-2003 A few people have contacted me with problems uploading their avatars. I'm pretty sure that avatar uploading is enabled, if not it should be now, or at least i'm pretty sure it is. :) A few details that you need to know for uploading avatars... The files can only be jpeg, jpg or gif. There are no BMPs, pngs or flash files allowed. The files can only be a maximum of 50k in size. The max image size for an avatar can only be 150 pixels wide by 167 pixels tall. Look at my avatar. That is the max size allowed and its under 18k in size. If you are still having problems then contact me via either e-mail or PM on the boards. Up loading Avatars - Gwarsbane - 03-07-2003 At the top of the forums you will see a link either called "My Controls" or "Settings" (depending on the skin you are using). Click on that link. That will bring you into the control panel. To have an avatar (The picture of the robot to the left is my personal avatar) look down the menu on the left to "Edit Avatar Settings". Click on that link. In here you will have a few options of selecting an avatar. 1) You can select one of the existing ones. There are many different ones and soon more will be added. 2) If you have an image already online somewhere you can link to it directly (as long as the website allows that) 3) If you have a picture that you like you can upload it to our forums. There are a few restrictions thou. 1) You can only use jpgs,jpegs and gifs 2) The max size your avatar can be is 150 pixels wide by 167 pixels tall. This is the exact same size as mine and as you can see mine is a good size. 3) No avatars larger then 30k in size. I will be checking on this every now and then and I will delete/remove any avatars larger then 30k. The reasons for these restrictions are to keep loading times for modem users down as low as we can. Once you have selected the avatar that you want click on the "Add this avatar to my profile" button at the bottom.

That will bring you into the control panel. To have a sig (Some words and/or a picture that is posted at the end of your message every time you post) look down the menu on the left to "Edit Signature". Click on that link. In here you will see what your current signature is at the top. Below that is where you put the information in at. If you want a picture copy and paste the url for it into the text box. The at the start of the url put Code: [IMG] Code: [/IMG] If you want your picture linked to a web page (click on the picture and it takes you to a web page) then copy and past the url for the site into the text box. At the start of the url put Code: [URL= end of the url put Code: ][IMG] the url on the image in and at the end of it put Code: [/IMG][/URL] If you just want a text link type in or copy and paste a URL to the page you want and put Code: [URL] Code: [/URL] For an e-mail link type in or copy and paste your e-mail address and put Code: [EMAIL] Code: [/EMAIL] Here is an example with the code that I used for my sig.
