Help with Avatars

[gaggedutopia]

I am noticing a few people having problem with avatars with the new forum.  I wanted to offer some tips that may help. In small text, under the avatar selection list, there is anoption to upload your avatar to the forum.  It has to be 50kb orunder, but it is probably the best option unless you have your ownhosting. Most websites have a block that prevents what is called"hotlinking".  If you try to point your avatar to another website,they most likely will block it to prevent another website (ie: thisforum) from using thier bandwidth.  Using the upload optionprevents this and is free! Lastly, you can always send me a PM (Private Message) for assistance.Take care and enjoy the forum!
