Avatars and Pictures

[JMV]

I've looked in the help section, but I can't seem to get an avatar up and I also can't post pictures. Are there any concise instructions on the board?* Or can anyone post some for me?

For pictures, you can use the following code:

[ img ]http://picture url[ /img ]

Simply remove the spaces within the brackets and your picture will appear.*

To have your picture link to a specific page or to create a link over text, simply use these types of code:

For a linked picture: [ url=http://url of link ][ img ]http://picture url[ /img ][ /url ]

For linked text: [ url=http://url of link ]Text[ /url ]

Again, remove the spaces within the brackets to activate the links and pictures.

To get an avatar, you will need to have your picture hosted somewhere on the web.* Simply save the picture you want as your avatar somewhere such as photobucket, imageshack, etc. and save the url for the image.* You will use that url as the link to your avatar.* Here are specific instructions:

1. Login.
2. Click on Profile at the top.
3. Under Modify Profile, on the left, select Forum Profile Information.
4. Click the radio button next to I have my own pic and type in the url for the link to your picture you wish to use as your avatar.
5. Make any other changes and click Change profile.

Your image should now show up as your avatar.

Hope this helps... O0
