To personalize your own profile, and make the
site look a bit more colorful, you may want
have your own Avatar, which is the small picture
displayed above your forum username on every
post you make in the forum.
For an Avatar, you could have your own personal picture of yourself, your family, pet
etc..... Or you may want a picture from the
internet such as your favorite sports teams
badge, or character from your favorite TV
show.
***PLEASE NOTE - For Avatars to work on
this forum, they must be 100x100 pixels or
less in size, and also 20kb or less in size. If
you are searching for an Avatar from the internet, when searching on Google it might be easier for you to search for
'100x100 Avatar' and this should display lots of Avatars and 9 out of 10 should work on the forum. If you are selecting your own
picture from your computer, you may need
to somehow reduce the size of the picture
to 100x100 so that it works***
