Default How to Get an Avatar and Signature/FFR Stats Sig (UPDATED)

FLYPIE'S AVATAR/SIGNATURE GUIDE

How to get an avatar
: An avatar (av) is like a buddy icon. It is a picture that shows up below your name when you post.

One way to get an avatar is to find a picture that you want as your avatar. Then save the image to your computer, by right clicking and hitting "Save Picture As" Once it is saved to your machine go into your user control panel. The "User CP" button is located up at the top left of your screen. Once you get in click on "Edit Avatar" on the left hand side. Or you can just click here and it will take you to your edit avatar page. There you will see a checkbox that says "use a custom avatar" check that box. Then the second option under the custom avatar spot you will see " Upload an Avatar From Your Computer". So you browse for the picture and then you hit the save changes button, and BADA BING you have an avatar.

Also, you can upload an avatar from a URL. If you want to upload it from a URL then you have to find a picture you want on the internet, right click the picture, go into properties, and copy and paste the URL into the first line in the custom avatar section thats says "Enter Avatar URL". Then you want to save changes and you have an avatar.

Also, if the file size is too big you need to go into Photoshop/Paint/Paint Shop Pro etc. and lower the quality of the picture. Also, in the rules it states
Quote:
Avatars must be no more than 200 pixels in height, and no more than 200 pixels in width.
Please obey those size restrictions for avatars. Enjoy!


How to get a signature
: A signature (sig, siggy) is a picture or some words that go below everything you post.

First, find a picture or a qoute or whatever you want to put in your signature. Then go into your User CP and click on edit signature on the left control panel, or you can just click here. There is a 255 character limit on your signature. To enter your signature type what ever you want to put as your signature in the blank space. If you want to put a picture there then right click on the image you want, go to properties, and copy the URL/Location. Paste the URL in the blank space in your profile with image tags. It should look like this: Obviously, you insert the URL where it says "INSERT PICTURE URL HERE". Once you are done creating your signature hit the save signature button. BADA BING, you have a signature. Also, in the rules it states
Quote:
Please keep your signature to a maximum width of 600 pixels and a maximum height of 250 pixels. (If you want to put multiple pictures in your signature, all of your pictures as a whole shouldn't exceed this size). Total size of pictures in your signature must be no more than 1MB.
Please obey those size restrictions. Enjoy!

A good place to host any images that you want for your signature or avatar is imageshack or photobucket.


Cheers,

Flypie

One note: There is no size limit on avatars. But there should be... I've seen a user with one about 400 px long. Twas quite annoying.

avatars don't seem to work when you upload them. i'd say you should go to photobucket.com and host your image from there. i had the same problem.
