This forum allows you to have an avatar which is a small gallery picture under your user name on every message you post. You may also include a signature at the bottom of every posted message. These are done automatically once set up.
You will find the option for this in your profile. The profile link is on the top bar under the groups name. 2nd link from the right next to "logout".
To access these options, clicking "Profile" takes you to your "Member's Bio". Click "Modify Profile" situated above your details. On the next page, scroll down to the "Personal Information" section where you will find the options.
You have the choice of using the pre-installed avatars (the drop down box next to "Avatars") or you may add your own by entering the details in the "Avatar URL" box.
You will also see "Signature" in this same section.
A couple of simple RULES when using these options.
Avatars:
This is a public forum and is family orientated. If you choose to add your own avatar, please DO NOT add one that depicts nudity, any sexual activity, drugs, violence, the animated stick man whose head explodes, or anything similar. And please, no pics of eductor dredges.
Any Avatar deemed inappropriate by Management WILL be removed! No correspondence will be entered into by Management on this matter, and only one warning will be given.
Signatures:
As well as text, you may use a picture in your signature, but please do not make it huge.
The photo in my signature on another forum, below, is 350 x 100 pixels. This pic give you an idea of how a photo of this size looks in relation to the post.
Also please refrain from typing your signature IN ALL CAPS as it can be hard to read or annoying to some people.
