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.
