As the title says this is for general newbish stuff you may need help with or for veterans who are a little absent minded lol.
Adding an Avatar:
First click on "
my controls", and scroll down (if you need to) to "
edit avatar settings".
Click "
go" next to the base gallery scroll down box to proceed to the ready uploaded avatars.
OR enter the URL to the image you want. Note you may have to type the URL to the image directly not just the page it is on. easy way to do this is to right click the image and select properties: you will see its exact address in the little popup box. just copy/paste that into the url box on the control panel.
OR click "
browse" to search your computer for the image you want.
regardless which way you go when your happy with your choice, click "
update avatar". you've just set you avatar.
If you get an error message it is most likely that the image you have selected is too large: make sure it is no larger than 80 pixel x 80 pixel (visual size) and no larger than 20kb (file size). If it IS within these parameters then contact Doca or Optec for help.
Adding a Sig:
first click on "
my controls", and scroll down (if you need to) to "
edit signature".
In the box at the bottom you can either directly type or copy/paste text.
OR for an image you need to make sure that the image is hosted,(i.e. somewhere else on the web) somewhere like photobucket or imageshack for example. type or copy/paste the exact address into the box and imake sure it has this:
on either side of the address of said image. once done click "
update my signature" and your done. word of warning: to avoid being moderated, check the
forum rules BEFORE adding a signature.
If there is anything else just add you question here, especially if it is a question that you believe can be answered by a single reply, so to save making an entirely new thread about it. remember "if in doubt ask"
