Creating an Avatar.

[Christopher - (CM) ²]

To create an avatar/display picture just do the following:

• First, take the picture you want and scale it down to 100x100 pixels or less. Most photo and picture editing software contains this feature.
  
  
• Upload it to an image hosting site, such as www.photobucket.com.
  
  
• Back on the forum now, go to "profile", then "modify profile", then put the picture URL into the "avatar URL" box, put in the pixel height and width (e.g. 100) and click update. Make sure you use the URL given in a box to the lower right of the picture, NOT the URL from the address bar.
