As I normally get loads of questions about how do I set up an avatar picture and signatures and also how to place pictures in posts etc.. I thought I would add a little 'how to' section to try and make things easier.
So fingers crossed it works and I make sense!!! ;D
AVATARS:
These are the pics that are seen on the left hand side of your post, under your mini profile.
In choosing your pic you have two options -
Option 1 - Chose a personalised picture out of the list already there. If you decide to do this just click on the name and change profile button at the bottom of the screen, job done!
Option2 - Upload a pic you have sourced from somewhere else. You will need to host the image on a website to get the url.
I use either:
picsplace or
imagecave
both of these are free to use.
Upload the picture you want which should be saved onto your computer. It will then produce a url (i.e http://somethingblabla)
Copy that url into the box on your profile 'I have my own pic' and tick the box. Click on change profile at the bottom, again job done!!
You can also include personalised text with your image by completing that box. It will appear under your avatar.
SIGNATURES:
Again get an URL for your image and copy it into the signature box. You will need to put type - [ img ] url address [ /img ] - don't leave any spaces.
If you just want to have text you can type it in the box normally.
PICS IN POSTS:
Follow the same process for a signature pic,
[ img ] url address [ /img ]
Hope this isn't to complicated!!!
But if you are stuck please just shout either DragonMaster or myself and we'll be happy to get it sorted!!
