Avatar Tutorial

[Raven]

Avatars
If you don't already know how to include your own personal picture, or "avatar" into your posts, here are some tips.

First, find a picture you would like to use.
Keep in mind they may be shrunk down to fit.
The board only allows custom avatars to be 100x100 pixels.

Once you have the picture you want, insert the URL into the space in your profile that says "I have my own pic:".
Make sure to check the box. You will then want to enter the dimensions (in pixels) where it asks for height and width.

Need a URL?
Put your picture in a personalized album you create at Photobucket, a site for free image hosting.
photobucket.com/

Even easier, go to tinypic for a URL.
tinypic.com/

Follow the directions at each site for getting a URL for pictures.

There is always the option to use any of the pictures already included in the profile section. You can scroll down the list in the window next to "Personalized Picture."

Then again, you don't have to use one at all!

Personal Text
Whatever you type in the box next to "Personal Text" will appear underneath your avatar on each of your posts.

If you still need help, feel free to ask!

I've added some avatars to the board's drop down menu.
Go check them out in your profile and use whatever you like!
Way cooler than the default stuff.

I'm glad you like it!
I figured it would work for someone.

all right,
apparently i'm a total computer idiot since i can't get the avatar pic from photobucket to come up on my profile. copied and pasted the URL, put in the size, and...nothing. *heavy sigh*
guess i'll try again later.
bright blessings,
