To create an avatar or a signature of your pet for the forum you need to take a screen shot!
To do this on a Windows machine, you should just be able to hit the 'Prt Sc' button near the top right of your keyboard (some computers may require you to hit Shift+Prt Sc, Ctrl+Prt Sc, Alt+Prt Sc or Fn+Prt Sc).
(For Mac users: http://www.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=923 )
You can then open an image program (such as Paint or Photoshop) and press CTRL+V to paste the image (alternatively click 'Edit', 'Paste'). Then you need to crop/reseize your image so it fits in the required pixel sizes for this forum. And save your image so that the filesize also fits within the requirements (just a tip, saving as a '.gif' generally gives a reasonably small file size).
For an avatar (the picture under your name) on this forum:
Quote:
The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller). |
Quote:
The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller). |

(The hardest part is getting your image to fit the size requirements of the forum!)
NEW!
If you want to make your signature clickable, here is the code:
Code:
[url=http://addresswhereyouwantittogo.com/][sigpic][/sigpic][/url]
Please note that when you update your signature, your signature will automatically update for all of your past posts that included a signature! And when you update your avatar it will update for all of your previous posts (whether you had an avatar of not when posting them).
