FIRST....
You need to UPLOAD your avatar to a server (send a copy of your photo to a computer linked to the internet).
I use:
www.tinypic.com
Cos its fast to sign up and easy to use.
Imageshack and Photobucket are popular others
MAIN DETAILS
To add an Avatar:
1. Click on 'Profile' in the links bar - (Grey bar near the top of each page).
2. Click on 'Modify Profile' (Between 'Member's Bio' and 'Bookmarks')
*Delete your blanked out password unless you want change it now*
3. Scroll down to 'Personal Information' - look for 'Avatar'
4. If you want to use a pre-installed Proboards icon, click the drop down menu next to 'Avatar' and select one. A preview of the avatar will appear.
5. If you want to use a custom avatar, enter the URL of the image next to 'Avatar URL'. Please remember to upload the image to your own server not on your computer.
*Created as the very item on this page*
Here is my Avatar link (as an example):
i54.tinypic.com/2nl7edw.jpg
6. On the next two options for 'Avatar Width' & 'Avatar Height', enter 100 and 100 as this is the maximum size available.
7. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click 'Modify Profile'
*NOT 'DELETE PROFILE' we don't want you to leave - please! *
Any problems - just throw up a post on the Forum.
Cheers - Frank
