IMAGE AROUND MY NAME What is an avatar, and how do I change mine?
An avatar is the image right below a member's name.
To change your avatar
CLICK HERE. This will take you to your avatar settings that are located in your control panel. You must find the URL of your picture and put it in the spot where it says "Your image avatars". It should look something like this:
Code:
http://www.yourdomain.com/picture.jpg
or upload your own to the forums, remember your avatar has to be no bigger than 100 pixels by 150 pixels in size and uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 25 KB and the only type of avatars allowed are .gif .jpeg .jpg .png .bmp

SIGNATURES AND PERSONAL PHOTOS How do I get a sig?
To change your sig
CLICK HERE, then just click the IMG Tag and put the URL of the Image then when you are done click update signature. The code you should end up with is this.
Code:
[IMG]www.yourdomain.com/picture.jpg[/IMG]
Remember the rules: A user's signature should not contain over one image of a reasonable size (as determined by Discuss PSP staff) and at most three full lines of text. By posting on these forums you agree that your avatar or image may be changed be an admin at any time without your knowledge if it is excess, or offensive to other members.

How do I get an animation in my sig?
You can put animated images in sigs the same way you put in any other image. Search Google on how to animate images, or ask here. For flash images, use this:
Code:
[FLASH=width,height]URLoffile[/FLASH]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What info is there about the Personal Photo?
The
Personal Photo will allow you to specify a photo to be used in your profile which is viewable by other board members. Personal Photos do not necessarily have to be an actual photo of you: it can be an avatar or whatnot, as long as it's within the rules.
- All photos must be no larger than 5000 kB
- Photos must be no bigger than 250 pixels by 250 pixels.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTING MY PICTURES Do I just copy an image's URL and post it?
You may copy an image from your site or a hosting site; otherwise, it is Direct Linkin. Direct Linking is bad for those sites you take the pictures from, their Bandwith gets eaten up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I make a picture also be a link?
This is a two step process. I will go over the easy way. First, act like you are putting a picture in a post - use the IMG button. After that you should have this:
Code:
[IMG]www.yourdomain.com/picture.jpg[/IMG]
Then, either cut or copy that and then hit the URL tag. When it asks for the http:// code, put the URL of what you want to link to, then hit OK. It will now say 'My Webpage' Put the IMG code there and then hit ok. you should have something that looks like this:
Code:
Or, you can just copy that and put the correct info in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I get a picture from my computer to the web?
To get a picture here, you must do one of two things:
- Upload directly to the forums in the control panel
- Upload to a hosting site, then copy and paste the URL.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you get pics from the web to my computer?
Right click on the image.
Save it to your computer.
You now have the image.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How long do upload images remain on Discuss PSP?- Avatars that are uploaded will stay until you remove them
- Attached Images disappear after (insert days here)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I put emoticons in my post, and what is the limit?
To get emotions that are not already in the bar to the left of the posting text box click the "show all" link... There's alot of em in there... There is no limit, but let's not go overboard and abuse the system; please try to only use a moderate amount.
I think that should cover it. If for some reason you still have a question then post it - but just make sure you read what I put up. There's no sense in asking an already answered question.
