Avatar and Siggy

[tailsdoll]

Where do u get an avatar and siggy? Do you have to have a certain number of posts?

No, it's for everyone. For the avatar, you've gotta find an image that you want. You can use Google Image Search or something of the like to find one. Then, click on the "Profile" link at the top of the page. There, click on "Modify Profile". Scroll down to "Personal Information", you should see a few text boxes that say "Avatar:" "Avatar URL:" "Avatar Width:" and "Avatar Height:". Put the URL of the image in the "Avatar URL:" text box, and put the dimensions of the image in the Width and Height text boxes. You can find out the dimensions by right clicking the image, and selecting "Properties".

Now, for the sig. Slightly below the avatar settings, you can find a larger text box that say "Signature:". You can put anything in there, but if you want to put in an image, you have to use tags. Simply type , then the URL of the image, then [/img].

I hope that helped.

What E-109 meant about the tags, he meant this
[img]http://www.Somewebsite.com/folder/image.jpg[/img] If you replace the URL with the URL of the image, it should work.

Gah, forgot the code box. Thanks.

[Mr. G]

Or, you could've just disabled BB code alltogether, but either way works

Okay, 1 more thing. r there any restrictions on siggy images?

Nothing offensive or big enough to break the borders of the forum. Nothing too high either. The reason that pic of yours isn't working is because you have a png file. I believe those do not work. Use a jpg or gif file.

PNGs work fine. E-109's avatar and signature use PNGs. The problem was with the BBcode. It needed a forward slash in the ending tag, not a backslash. I fixed it.
