How to create an Avatar

Avatars are small graphical images that you may choose in your profile. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. You can select the image that best describes yourself from your profile options.

[Click on Profile (top of each page) and then follow

Modify Profile / Forum Profile information / I will upload my own picture / browse / and click button that reads 'change profile' when you're done.

The maximum size of the avatar is 100 by 100 pixels and the file size should be kept under 15 KB.


How to add an attachment

Make sure that you keep the file size of your attachments under 150 KB and we would really appreciate it if you keep it under 50 KB.
For some images GIF is a better option than JPEG, especially if you use a limited set of colors. For most purposes a JPEG quality factor between 50-60 will be sufficient. The Photoshop option New / Save for WEB is very helpful. Try to keep the width of your images under 600 pixels; this makes it possible for people with smaller screen resolutions to view the image full screen.
It?s always allowed to add a link to an image stored elsewhere using the IMG tag. It?s advisable to mention the size of that specific file in your post.


When to turn off smilies
