Avatars and Signatures

AVATAR:

Your avatar or icon is the image that is displayed on the left hand side of your posts. You can get an image there by following this process:

Step 1: Select an image! This is easily done by searching through the net of the celebrity you’re using.

Step 2: You need to either upload the photo or somehow obtain the URL (or link) to your photo. This can be done by right clicking, going to properties and copy and pasting where it says “Address (URL)”. Uploading your photo requires an image hosting site (ie: photobucket, imageshack etc)

Step 3. Go to your profile, press “Modify Profile” and paste the URL where you see “Avatar URL”. You can also change the width and height of it, but the maximum size is 100 x 100. The default size it goes to if you enter the URL, but leave the width and height blank is 65 x 65, so if you want it bigger, you have to enter the appropriate dimensions.

In addition, if you would like text underneath your avatar (most commonly people put quotes that they’re characters have said) then go into “Modify Profile” and enter the text where it says “Personal Text”. There is a limit to how much you can write, so make sure your text does not get cut off. If you want a changing signature (this means that a new image will show up under every post, in no particular order), then please contact an admin to request one.

SIGNATURES:

Your signature is what shows up at the bottom of every post. It is a banner, or a picture of your character/characters.

Step 1 and 2 Care the same as putting up your avatar, so just follow that process for your signature too.

Step 3: Go to “Modify Profile” and scroll down to where it says “Signature”. In order for your picture to show up as an image, you MUST enter the following code:

[img]Insert URL of your image[/img]

You can also add text to your signature, however keep in mind that this too has a limit of how much you can enter. If you want a changing signature (this means that a new image will show up under every post, in no particular order), then please contact an admin to request one.
