When designing your avatar, there are a few things to remember.
1. Avatars must be no more than 100x100 pixels on this forum.
2. Do not take a normal size tag and resize it because you will not be able to see any credits.
3. It must be credited properly...your © if you did it all or it's your photo. There must be a ©to the artist if you are using one and it it is a PTU artist it MUST have your license # on it.
4. The url may be ommitted, but this is only for avatars.
5. Once your avatar is uploaded, if you can read your ©'s then no one else can.
6. Load your avatar into Photobucket
Now how to upload an avatar.
1. On the top of any page you will see "Profile" click this.
2. When you see your profile you will see Member's Bio - Modify Profile - Bookmarks at the top of the profile. Click on Modify Profile.
3. Go to the second section which says Personal Information and you will see Avatar:....if you are going to use your own design, make sure this is on NONE. If you don't have your own avatar to use, you can pick a generic one.
4. The next line is Avatar URL: If you would like to use your own custom avatar, enter the full http:// URL to it in this box.
5. Make sure that in Avatar Width: and Avatar Height: you have 100 if it isn't already there.
Now go to the bottom and Modify Profile
