Avatar & Image GuidelinesYou may use any avatar, or post any image that does not fall under any of the following categories:
• Sexually Explicit/Pornography (Clothed or not).
• Nudity (regardless of whether private parts are shown or not).
• Figures in a sexual or "prone" position (clothed or not).
• Images that show private parts through clothing (for example, wet t-shirt pictures).
• Images that are racially, politically or religiously offensive.
• Images that contain vulgar or profane language.
Some of you might be wondering how to personalize your avatar (picture to the left of each post u make). Here is a guideline.
----------
1. Firstly the picture must be somewhere on the internet. A free picture hosting site is recommended
Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket as you can upload your personal pictures there.
2. After you have found a picture or uploaded one of your own you need to copy the URL of that photo. (to do that you right click the picture and go to properties there you will see a heading location and the image URL beside it, you can now copy the URL)
e.g. of URL ------>
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f15/test/test/test.gif In the case of photo bucket they will give you the URL below the picture you have just uploaded.
3. Once you have the URL you click on your profile>Forum Profile Information>I have my own pic:
4. Paste the URL of the picture in the space provided, then scroll down and click "change profile" and then u good to go.
