~How to Set Avatars and Signatures~

The quick, simple guide to setting forum signatures and avatars.

Step 1 - Navigating to the Personality Page

First, Scroll all the way up to the very top of the page. You will see a black navigation bar. Click Profile.

You will be taken to the Profile page, which is where all the settings from your Timezone to your Email to how many topics you see per page are located. On the left side of your screen, you will see a toolbar entitled Profile Menu.

Click the button on that menu that says Personality.

Now you are ready for Step 2. If you would like to set an avatar, go to Step 2a. If you would like to set a signature, go to Step 2b.

Step 2a - Setting an Avatar

Now that you are at the Personality page, find the box that says Set your avatar display options.

Under it, click Change Avatar You will come to a screen with a box that looks like this.

Click Upload, then find the *.JPG, *.JPEG, *.GIF, or *.PNG file you want as your avatar. Click okay at the bottom right of the window and then click the Upload button.
Note: The file must be under 40KB and no larger than 120px by 120px.
Do you like your avatar? If so, then you can either go to Step 2b to set your Signature, or you can move on to Step 3. If you don't like your avatar, just repeat step 2a again and pick another picture, or click the Delete Avatar button to delete your current avatar.

Step 2b - Setting a Signature

Okay, So you're at the Personality page, right? Find the box that says Compose your signature.

Type in whatever you want in the box below it. Signatures support Smileys, Censoring (including EE Smileys with the 1something1 tags), Images, Links, Bold, Italics, Underlining, and Centering.
Note: Signatures must not exceed 7 lines of text, 1,000 characters, or a total of 300px tall.

After you've typed in your signature, go ahead to Step 3.

Step 3 - Submitting and Proofing
All you have to do now is click Submit and check over the avatar and signature previews to make sure everything is to your liking. Make sure all your BBCode is correct and it's all neat and tidy, then you can move on to whatever you want to do next! Thanks for reading, and happy foruming!
