I've had a few people ask me how to navigate the site, so I thought I'd start off a with a simple tutorial walkthru on avatars.

The first thing you need to do is get to your user cp. It has a yellow circle around it. Just go ahead and click it.

The next screen you should see is something like this below. Just click on "edit avatar" circled in yellow.

You should see a screen like this below. Click on the button circled in black that says "use custom avatar".
Then click on the button circled in yellow that says browse.

This should give you a little popup screen to access a picture from your computer, notice the picture in the black circle. Also pay attention to the size of the avatar, it cannot exceed 150 x 150 pixels or 225 kb (which ever is smaller).
If you scroll over a picture, with window's xp, it will give a little info bubble as seen on screen with the picture circled, that is a quick way to see if your picture size is in range.
Click on the picture of your choice and click open. Open has a yellow circle around it.

You should then see that the picture has been added to the line inside the black circle.
Now just click "save changes" which is shown in the yellow circle.

If your image was the right size, you should see this screen.

Alright, you're done. Hope this helps out anyone having trouble getting a start on setting up your identity. More tutorials to follow.

Thanks Mutt!

FYI - avatars must be no larger than 150 x 150 pixels and no more than 225 kb. You can use animated avatars as long as they remain within the size constraints. I reserve the right to remove any "blinding" or "visually imparing" animated avatar (LOL).
