Many members new to forums question how to add an avatar to their profile.
1. Avatars are images you find online, or choose from your personal photos, saved on your computer for your own use.
2. They are uploaded using any of the most popular hosting sites:
• www.tinypic.com
• www.photobucket.com
• www.imageshack.com
3. Use the IMG URL for hosting, but ONLY IN THE AVATAR section will you remove the IMG brackets code after pasting your link into the Avatar section, leaving the http:/code.
To add an avatar to your profile:
Sign onto the board and click [profile] at the top of the board. You will be taken to your profile section of the forum.
Once there, click [Modify Profle] and scroll down to the Personal Information section.
Paste your copied image link in the section: Avatar URL and remove the IMG code in brackets at the beginning of the link, and the end of the link.
You will now adjust the size of your photo: 100 width and 100 height, or less to make the picture proportionate.
Your image will not be accepted if larger than 100x100.
When finished, scroll down and click ‘modify profile’. Your avatar should be showing.
Please post or PM if you have any further questions, or need help.
