Dear RoADAR community,

With a view to making your forum that bit more interesting, we have enabled user 'Avatars' (A small image that you can add to your profile).

Now, if you have an avatar added to your profile, your avatar will be displayed directly under your username in your posts. The idea is to allow users to add a personal touch to their profile for other forum users to see & enjoy.

Adding an avatar is easy...all you need to do is to chose your favourite image (if the image is not your original work, then please get permission before using it). Your avatar can be either a bitmap image (.bmp) or graphical interchange format (.gif) or Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpeg / .jpg). Be sure that your image is 100x100pixels or less.

If your image is too big then you can use MS paint to squash it down a bit....'stretch/skew' in the paint menus.

Log in as usual, and then click 'profile' from the menu at the top of the forum page. Scroll down to the bottom of the profile settings-list and click the "UPLOAD" button next to the ‘Upload Avatar from your machine:' heading, and then browse your machine for your chosen avatar.

Bobs your uncle...and your ‘pickie’ will be displayed with your username on all of your posts...you can change your avatar at any time. So don’t be shy!!!

Follow Bones' example, s/he has sorted their avatar out already!!
That reminds me....I must get one too!

Enjoy! Laughing
