I thought i would write a wee guide on how to put avatars and signature in your profile

Avatars

First of all you will need to download an avatar to your hard drive. Use this site http://www.heathersanimations.com to choose one if you don't have one already.

Second use this site http://imageshack.us/index3.php to host your avatar.

Thirdly right click your mouse and copy the link under Here is a direct link to your image.

Then go into your profile on this site, you will see the avatar control Panel and in the third box right click and paste. The link should be in the box.

Now press submit, your profile should update and you will see your avatar in your profile.

Note your avator has to be 80 x 80 and no bigger than 6kb

Signatures


As above until you get to all the links in Imageshack, but this time choose the first link. It looks like [IMG]your link[/IMG]. Right click and copy this link.

Go to your profile and your will see the big white box, right click and paste the link into the box. Press submit.

The next time you post you should see your signature


If you get stuck then do not hesitate to pm me and I will try and make it clearer for you

Hi

I'm a newbie to this site (found it via MSE) and have been browsing a couple of weeks now but this is my first post

I'm having problems trying to upload an avatar, despite following the directions above. I've also tried to use the function allowing it to upload directly from my PC but that doesn't work either.

Help! :?

Whooooooooooops I think that's a bit big :lol:
