How can I easily add an avatar to my profile? I’ll need step-by-step directions as to how to do this… Sorry, I’m completely lost when it comes to these things. Any help will be appreciated.

Click on "Profile", scroll down to the avatar control panel, copy and then paste in the textbox the link of your avatar.

How do I go about posting an avatar so it can be linked, on what website? Again, I’m really lost when it comes to these types of things. Thanks.

Go to imageshack.us, upload your avatar there, then copy the URL it gives you(the one that starts with http) and paste it in the textbox I mentioned earlier.

Ok, so I had a little trouble getting it to work, but I’ve finally got it, Thanks again joseph5!

Site Administrator; is it ok to use this as an avatar?

Site Administrator; is it ok to use this as an avatar?

Sure

Hope you guys don’t mind, but I changed my avatar, again.

Nice one.

I've changed it yet again. I'm wanting to add effects though. Like?

use gif avatars

I'm kinda looking for something unique, something that says "CloudStalker". A gif would be fine, maybe, but I like to have avatars with transparent backgrounds and I don't think gifs retain the alpha transparency channel, So for know...

use MNG

Maybe. I'm still trying to use that program that you posted so that I can make my own custom avatar.

does it work?

Maybe.

I'll tell you when I have time to fully test it.

I haven't found a single video that can be fit for that... perhaps I can use vlc to cut a video...

I don't think gifs retain the alpha transparency channel, So for know...

Yes they do.

I'll be putting my avatar through various changes at least until I can get everything to work properly. How's the rework thus far?

Hey, I have a question: Is it alright to use any picture/icon that's found on the internet as an avatar for this (or any) forum? I've found something interesting.

Yes No

As long as it's decent...

OK, never mind then.

No no, it's decent.

For the time being I found something for both DJ and j-b.

Hey DJ, I know you already have an avatar but if you ever get bored of that one you could try this:
Avatar

And j-b you can try his one:
Avatar

Nah I'm just joking. This one actually looks more like a VLC constructor:
Avatar

So what do you guys think?

I like mine

You mean your current one, nothing.

I mean your suggestion

Um... avatar, signature, it's all the same, right? Anyway, what do you think of my new signature(s)? I'll put together QT4 one tomorrow.
