3. Use of Avatars

We encourage all members to use an avatar as it helps members identify and relate to you

You can select one from our large avatar gallery or you can upload your own

We limit the size of avatars to 120 x 120 pixels

To add an avatar from our gallery simply click on your PROFILE, scroll down to where it says "Avatar Control Panel" and then click on SHOW GALLERY. You will be presented with a drop down box to select from a number of categories such as

Country 3D Flags
Australian State Flags
United Kingdom Flags
Outdoor Images
Abstract Images
Space Images
Computer Images

Fish

Then click on the avatar that you would like to use and update your profile. The avatar will then appear under your user name when you make a post on the forum
