Hey, all 
I know some of you might have trouble figuring out how to customize your profile, so here's a little guide on how to add an avatar and add a signature
You can edit your avatar by visiting your profile settings by clicking on the "Profile" link in the top navigation bar. Cluck further on the tab, "Avatar".
- Upload Avatar from your computer: If the picture you want as an avatar is on your PC, simply click on Browse, and then find and select the image on your PC. Note that it must not exceed 150x200, and the file size must be kept under 64kb. If you attempt to upload a larger immage, you will get an error message (it's the rules of Forumotion, sorry
). However, if you are uploading an image that exceeds the maximum dimensions, your picture will get resized automatically. This will, in most cases, destroy the pictures transparency and quality, so try not to exceed the limits.
- Upload Avatar from a URL: If you find the perfect image on a website, all you have to do is copy the image's address and paste it into the form and save. It's width can be no momore greater than 150x200. Beware of copyrighted images.
- Link to off-site Avatar: The same as before. The only difference is that the image's height and width can be greater than 150*200 pixels. Beware of images wich are under copyright. It's also highly recommended to re-host all images on your own image-hosting service (ServImg or Photobucket for example), as you'd otherwise use the bandwith of the server that contains the original picture - this would be illegal!!
Signature settings can be changed in your profile settings, as well (in the top navigation bar) - just switch to the "Signature" tab there. The signature space is limited to 500 characters, and this cannot be increased. You can use bbCode and HTML as well in your sig, if it has been approved by the administrators in the admin panel (General >> Forum >> Messages & Email >> Allow HTML / BBCode
Hope this helps! If you have any trouble, just comment below, and we'll help you out!
