Avatars and Signatures Q&A
Why doesn't my avatar work?
There could be many reasons why your avatar doesn't work. Here are a few examples to why it might not be:
- You are trying to link from a site that doesn't allow hotlinking
- The site you are trying to hotlink from has exceeded their bandwidth limit
- You are trying to link from your hard drive - the avatar needs to be on the Internet for others to see
- Your avatar is bigger than 100x100
- Your avatar is not in jpeg, gif, png or bmp format
A good site to use if you can't host your avatar is Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com). They give you plenty of space and bandwidth. You need to sign up! Once you've uploaded your avatar, you can link from there to this site.
Who can make signatures/avatars?
Please refer to this topic: Avatar and Signature Makers (http://www.ageofthering.com/forum/index.php?topic=24857.0)
If you happen to ask someone to make a signature/avatar for you, please only ask one person! Please also be grateful for their work because signatures and avatars can take a long time to make! Please also be precise in what sort of signature or avatar you'd like. Theres nothing more annoying than people asking "Can you make me a signature?" without giving details.
How do I add pictures to my signature?
First of all, you will need to have the signature picture somewhere on the Internet (e.g. Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com)). Once you have your signature on the Internet, you will then need to click on Profile at the top of the page and then choose Forum profile Information from the list on the left hand side. Near the bottom is a text box for where you can insert your signature. In here you can add pictures and text. To add a picture, do the following:
[img]http://www.whatever.com/picture.gif[/img]
Replace the URL between the IMG tags with the URL of the image. If you are using Photobucket, you should be able to copy and paste this information directly from the Photobucket site (it can be found under the preview of your image).
Can I upload avatars to the forum?
No.
What are the avatar and signature rules?
There are a few rules to follow with signatures and avatars. If you do no follow them, you risk losing the feature of having signatures and avatars, thus spoiling it for everyone.
Signature Rules
- All signature must be 500x150 pixels or less
- They must be 100Kb or less (Generally speaking reducing the number of frames or compressing an animated gif file will reduce the file size)
- You are only allowed one!
- If you have text, you must have no more than 5 lines (this includes blank lines)
- Advertising must be arranged with Blades UK (please contact an admin for more information)
Avatar Rules
- Avatars must be 100Kb or less
- Avatars must be 100x100 or less
- Avatars must be in supported formats (jpeg, jpg, gif, bmp or png)
Avatars and signatures must NOT display pornography, racism or anything that may be unsuitable for the forum!!
