Avatars are the small graphics you see under a poster’s nickname while reading their poster like this one here:
To add an avatar to your profile:
1. You need the url of the graphic you want to use. For instance the graphic address for the image above is https://nationalhsfootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/photo-154.jpg. This means you may need to upload the avatar you want to a web server if you can’t find it already existing on the web. You can find picture hosts off a search or a place like photobucket.com who has free picture hosting Web site. After uploading your photo, copy the “URL” of the image. Ex: http://www.photobucket.com/youraccount/avatar_photo.jpg. You can also grab an image off of the web and use that are your avatar.
2. Make sure the graphic is a square. Our system does not allow for editing but it will automatically resize your image.
Once you have the url of the graphic:
1. Go to your user profile. (It is your name at the top right corner of the page)
2. As a new user you will see an image of a ‘ghost’ on the left. You can hover over that image and it will say ‘change’ which you should click.
3. You will have two options. You can upload the image. Or you can create a gravatar — either will work and both have step-by-step instructions.
4. Submit.
5. Post.
1. Click on your profile. (It is in the top right, still.)
2. Click ‘My Settings’
3. Click ‘Signature’ on the left hand side.
4. You can customize your signature just like a post on the board with html, photos, or other uses of our preset options.
