Title: Umm... How do you do this?
Post by: The_Spy on January 04, 2009, 07:21:37 pm

Call me hopeless (Third post today  :o ) But I need to know how to add a picture to my forum thing that shows when I post and in my info. Can someone tell me?

Wow, three posts in one day.  :P

Anyways, I beleive your talking about an avatar (correct me if I'm wrong), and I made a (noobish) similar topic before, and thus I can answer your question.

I believe the admins in charge of the forums believes that if everyone had a avatar (Or a large percent of the community had one), it can damage much needed bandwidth. You can argue that it won't, but also theres the fact that some avatars can offend others and that problem tends to repeat itself alot (And noone wants to keep checking everyone's avatar for appropriateness). Lastly, avatars are just gimmicks and you don't need one to surf the forums. The devs and admins on these forums have their own avatar because they deserve it and it helps others recognize them as admins/devs.

So thats why avatars are disabled here, so I'm sorry. Its not a big deal so try to move on and have a nice day.  ::)

Profile -> Forum Profile Information -> Signature:

Use bbcode (same as in posts) to insert a link to a image. f.e.

Thank you for both helping me, I greatly appreciate it! I don't care anyway. I figured it out a few seconds after this post. I decided to stick with "Gentlemen..."

It would have been polite to retract your post then, or mark it as 'resolved'.
