Panda Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 [quote name='Kenshin 392']How do you get a little picture next to the thing that you write instead of the ones that you can pic?[/quote] Can you be a little more specific? Are you referring ot the avatar at the top of your posts? If that is what you are asking about then all you have to do is: -click on the "Edit Profile" link in the menu bar to the left. -select the "Use Custom Avatar" option. -upload avatar or type in the URL for the avatar. -click the "save changes" option at the bottom. This will change your avatar to the custom avatar you have selected. Hope this answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshin 392 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 But how big can it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 [quote name='Kenshin 392']But how big can it be?[/quote] The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 80 pixels or 58.6 KB (whichever is smaller). If you need someone to make you a custom avatar you can always request one in the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=85][U]Art By Request[/URL][/U] forum.

Kenshin 392 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 where can I get some pictures. It keeps saying the URL is not valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 You can get pictures from several different sorces. You can scan some pictures, get some screen captures or find them online via a search engine like Google. Be sure your image for the avatar is within the size requirements of the site. If you need an image host for the avatar using something like Photobucket.com is a nice free image host. Make sure the image you are using also ends with jpg or gif. Don't hotlink to someone else's URL since that can cause some problems with your image as well. Make sure you are hosting it on your own image host site. Hope that helps!

Kenshin 392 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Can you still use some that are resized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 [color=gray][size=1]Basically, it's just a matter of 1. Keeping it within 150x80 size 2. Making sure it's not more than 56,8 kb 3. Making sure it's JPEG or GIF (nothing else) Then it's just uploading it on OtakuBoards. If the url you use is not valid, save the picture on your PC and upload it from your PC. Darn, that's quite a lot rules about such a small senseless picture :<[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
