Mana 3,867 #1 Posted January 14, 2006 What is an avatar? An avatar is a small image below your name. How do I get an avatar? 2. Make an image in Photoshop, MS Paint or some other image editing program. Save it as either a .jpg, .gif, or .png file. (The maximum size of your custom image is 145 by 145 pixels and it has to be no more then 50.0 KB in size, anything larger will be rejected by the forums). Note: any image that is too big will be resized automaticaly by the forums, however the quality and the proportions of it might be bad or weird. 3. Click on the "My controls" link at the top of the forum near the upper-right corner. 4. Click the Edit Avatar Settings link in the left-hand column. 5. Click the Browse button, locate your image that you want to use as an avatar on your computer and press open to select it. 7. Click Update Avatar. What is not allowed in avatars? - Offensive or sexual material. If your avatar brakes the rules you will recieve a PM from the staff asking to remove it, if you do not do so it will be removed for you and followed by a warning.
