Fancy your own custom av.? Got a picture you want to put in your signature? Well follow these simple instructions:
1. Find a picture off the net or scan one into your computer
2. Make sure your picture is saved on your computer.
3. Open the picture in a program such as photoshop or the like. Most digital cameras will come with a program as standard.
4. Resize the image so that it meets the required specs as mentioned in the forum rules i.e. 90 by 90 pixcels for avatars or 120 by 320 for pics in your sigs.
5. Save your image as a .jpg (in the file type drop down menu in the "save as" menu) other files will work except Bitmaps that won't work at all!!!!
6. Use a hosting site such as Upload-it to host your picture. This step is vital as the picture has to be online for you to be able to see it. Uploadit will have a button that says browse. Click this and you will see files on your computer. Choose your image and double click it. The files name will come up in a bar like you'd write an website address in. Click the button that says host. This will give you an address like a webiste. Right this down or cut and past it, its very important. The address for upload-it is
www.uploadit.org
7. If the picture is for an avatar put this address in the space for custom avatar in the modify profile page.
OR
7. If its a picture for your sig you have to put image tags round the address that uploadit gives you, in the signature space in your profile. This wee hickey goes infront of the address [*img] and this one goes behind it [/img*] (don't put the stars in i put them there so it wouldn't try to read this sentence as an image)
And that should sort it any problems please post them here
