I am a newbie newbie, so how do I add avatars to my messages???
Top right-hand side of the page, click “Profile”. There you should find a section of avatars.
can you uplaod your own?
No, this would cause a huge drain on the webservers’ space and bandwidth.
Not to mention a lot of extra work for the administrator. 😉
What you can do, once you get over 100 posts, is e-mail the admin the one you want to use, and he will, most likely, agree to upload it for you.

Just wondering…wouldn’t it be easier if we all just hosted our own avatars? Then, in our profiles, it would link to the URL of the picture we have hosted?
Woah! that’s a good idea! I’ve always thought of that too.
Then it’s a bitch to manage the content of them, and manage the hosts’ uptime. The method in place is perfect.
Yeah, it’s one of those ideas that sounds nice, and might work well on a smaller forum, but gets messy when images go link-dead or are served from a slow server, etc.
