Pic and customization

[Aideani]

I'm wondering how you can get a profile picture and customize your page. Whenever I try, nothing appears. Help/explain please!

I'm wondering the same thing. In the signature site it says: Can upload image: no. Never got around to doing it on the old forums but would like to now. Any advice/help would be appreciated. I couldn't get my settings to load at all until I clicked on another member's name to view their profile, then my settings popped up at the same time. No luck with the siggy tho.

No uploads of any kind are permitted.

At the top of the forums, there should be a option titled "Forum Actions", which produces a drop-down menu. In that menu is "Edit Profile".

Once you hit that you should be taken to a page where you can edit your avatar and signature. Currently, it appears that you can only choose from a pool of preset avatar images.

While you can't upload an image to be hosted on-site, you should be able to link an image hosted elsewhere for your sig. It just has to be no larger than 125 tall x 350 wide, and non-animated.

Wow! That was fast, thanks for the info. Am puzzled though as to how Cerridwen posted his cool image in the thread Signature-Request. What am I missing? I've posted pics on other forums but not this one.

It's BBC code, you can view the accepted codes on the signature edit page. [IMG]url for image goes here[/IMG]

Thank-you Cerridwen for your answer. Will be doing that as soon as I get the rest of it sorted out. Really nice nod to the old forums. Funny, I was dead set against the new forums after seeing the preview but these are really nice. Fast load times, new titles are nice, and the adjustment Sapience made to the shading made it much easier on my eyes as well. All in all I'm pleased with what I've seen.
