An avatar is a small image that is displayed under the posters name on the left. There are two ways of setting up an avatar. Setup your own image: Create your own 96x96pixles GIF or JPEG (jpg) image and put it up on the web somewhere so you can link to it. If you don’t have your own website there are companies that will host your images for free, just search for “free image hosting”. The image should be resized to exactly 96x96pixles and should be 72dpi for the best quality. Use one of our Avatars When you setup your Forum Profile there is a link that will popup a page with a range of Avatars we have already created. Simply select one of the avatars in the popup window and it will insert it into your forum profile.
