How to set up a Avatar and a Signature on the forums

[Shaui]

Hello. I have created this guide to help you set up your avatar and profile picture and signature on the forums.

I hope that this guide will help players that are newer to the forums so they can have cool avatars and signatures as well.

Just keep in mind that your signature and avatar should follow these guidelines. With that being said, let's begin! :)

[goto=siggy]Signature[/goto]

To access the area where you can change your profile picture you must first go to the user control panel.

In order to get there, you must click the profile button to the right on the screen. It looks like this:

Then on your profile page, select Edit Profile next to your name.

After that you will be brought to the user control panel. Then select edit avatar on the left.

Afterwards you will be brought to the edit avatar menu which will look something like this:

In the avatar type box you will have three options.

Gravatar is a Service that you can sign up for that will allow you to have the same images across several sites that support it.

Gallery Avatar allows you to select a avatar from the gallery we have on the website. You can select the one you would like and use it as a avatar. Here is an example of what a few of them look like:

Remote avatar allows you to post an image of your choosing to be an avatar. For the link offsite, you use a link to the picture you want.

I highly recommend using a direct link for that. You avatar can have maximum dimensions of 170 x 240.

After selecting the avatar you like, and making everything else good, press submit! Congratulations, you now have an awesome avatar!

Now for the signature part, you want to go to the User Control Panel just like before. And select edit signature.

After selecting edit signature, you will be on the edit signature menu.

If you wish to put an image in your signature, you will need to format the url of the image to be just like when you put a signature on a forum post.

This useful How to add Images to forum posts guide can help you format the url that you wish to use.

It should look something like this:

You can also use text as well, and even hyperlinks incase you wanted to link your personal shop. Just keep in mind that there is a 580 character limit.

And that is the basics of how to set up a signature!

The maximum dimensions your sig can be is 580x300.
