Hi guys,

Since everyone is submitting avatars, I just thought I'd post this up to prevent me answering the same questions over and over again.

  • There are two types of avatars, pics that you submit to us and ones hosted on other servers (you give us a URL).
  • Your avatar can be set/changed in your profile. The link to your profile is at the top of the page.
  • Your image is not you avatar. They are two different things, do not put your avatar URL into the image field.
  • Avatars are limited to a size of 140x100.
  • Avatar filesizes are limited to 10kB.
  • We will not allow animated GIFs as avatars. We feel that they are too distracting.
  • All avatars must be approved manually so there may be a delay between the time you set/change your avatar until you can see it on the forums.

For those that havent worked it out, you can set/upload your Avatar under your Profile settings.

In the "Avatar Type" dropdown list select either "Upload Avatar" or "Specify URL". The page should refresh and you will see a new field below it called "Custom Avatar URL" or "Custom Avatar File" if you selected Upload. There's another image field above called "Image (URL)" - don't stick it there, that's for your car or mugshot or cat or whatever.

Hope this helps

Arrow Go to your profile, the link is on the top of the page.
Arrow Set Avatar Type to Upload Avatar.
Arrow Then click on the browse button and choose your JPEG file.
Arrow Type in your password and click on Update.
Arrow Then wait for one of the admins to approve your avatar.

mr_messy, just follow the steps that I outlined above. You don't need to send anyone your avatar, you simply upload it onto the ToyMods server by following those steps.

Guys, you don't need to put a test post in here to check your Avatar - once accepted, it should be visible on any of your older posts as well.

It's basically caused by the Avatar and other info in the left hand column - that's what determines the vertical size of the text frame.

It you think it's bad for you then you should see the admin login... it's got extra stuff in there which makes the problem even worse.
