get your avatar hosted somewhere, and type your own avatar's address on the use custom avatar field, and click set URL.

3 at least. Don't forget, Princess Xanthea, who will be my Partner in the soon to start PBW Game - Pairs.
Everynight I come home, the first thing she asks is if PBW is up yet...

To upload your own avatar:

1) Get it as a file in a format the board will accept
2) Go to one of the threads in the New Scenerio/Mod Forum (any one will do)
3) Start (but do not finish) a post in the chosen thread
4) Select the "Upload File Form" option from the post reply dialog (on the left, under "Message:")
5) Type in the address (on your machine) or use the browse button to select the picture
6) Click upload, and wait for it to finish
7) Copy the text the dialog spits back onto the clipboard
8) Back out of the post, and view your profile ("My Profile" in the upper-right hand corner of the screen)
9) Select "View/Update Profile" (Upper left hand corner of the screen)
10) Select "Select a different Avatar Image" (middle of profile, next to your current avatar)
11) Paste the stuff from the clipboard into the "Use Custom URL" box (bottom of the dialog); do not click "Set URL" yet
12) Remove the "" and "" (including the "]" and "[/url]")
13) Select "Set URL"
14) Select "Select This Avatar"
15) Select "Update Profile"

That is probably much more verbose than you need; sorry for spending your time on the stuff you already know, but I don't really have any way to judge what that is.

hi, welcome to the forums. the fading scream you hear is your sanity deciding it needs a vacation. hawaii maybe.

i'm one of the forums crazy people. i suppose it says something that there's forums where i'd be the crazy person.

A woman... a woman on the SEIV Boards...

GREAT! It'll be fun! Force all you guys to start cleaning up your act

(but judging by DavidG's reaction, maybe not

).

Welcome to the Boards.

[EDIT - P.S. if you're going to stick around awile, and you are looking for an avatar, look here first. I'll bump the thread for this collection ("House of 1001+ Avatars") as well.]
