1. What is an Avatar?

An avatar is a graphical image of a user, such as used in forums and is intended to make the forum environment a more enjoyable and friendly experience

2. Use of Avatars

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

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

We limit the size of avatars to 120 x 120 pixels

To add an avatar from our gallery simply click on USER CP, scroll down to where it says "Change Avatar". Select DEFAULT GALLERY and click GO. You will be presented with a large selection of avatars to choose from

Select 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

Hi,
I always have an avatar on various forums I've joined and I change them pretty regularly...I think they're great fun.
There are some really good ones and plenty to choose from at:
