How To Setup An Avatar

• Modify your profile by clicking on the "Profile" button at the top of the forum.
  
• Scroll down to the "Avatar URL" field and paste in the full URL to where your Avatar image is stored.
  
• Scroll down to the bottom of your profile and click on the "Modify Profile" button to save your changes.
  
• Enter a width and height into the "Avatar Width" and "Avatar Height" fields if you want to the forum to resize the image to a specific width / height that is different than your actual image used.
  
• Alternately, instead of supplying a URL, you may select a stock Avatar from the drop down list in the "Avatar" field.

How To Setup A Signature

• Modify your profile by clicking on the "Profile" button at the top of the forum.
  
• Scroll down to the "Signature" field.
  
• Type in the Signature you wish to use. You may use any normal Proboards UBBC codes you desire, which may include an image enclosed within "img" tags.
  
• If you wish to use more than one image, the combined image width / height may not exceed the maximum image size allowed for Signatures.
  
• If you use an image that maxes uses your full Signature size allowance, you may still add a single line text to your signature provided the text is not overly large. The say on what is overly large rests with our forum administrators.
  
• Scroll down to the bottom of your profile and click on the "Modify Profile" button to save your changes.
