How does one obtain an avatar? Are there places on the Internet where one can go to find a bunch of avatar images, and then I'd just need to select one of them? I have no objection to using an avatar; I just don't know the mechanics of finding one and then inserting it alongside my posts.

1. Get a picture you want to use.
2. Go to "User CP" on the board here.
3. Go to "Profile," then "Edit avatar."
4. Upload your avatar. If it is too big, use whatever picture editing software you have to make it within the board's size limits.
If you want to use a picture from the internet, right click with your mouse and "save as," then upload it to the board here. Or the "Edit avatar" thing will also let you upload a picture from a URL.

My dear Hoops,
I'm sorry to inform you that you don't have the best avatar. You have no avatar at all. All you have is a little white box with an x. Speaking only for myself, I would neither track you down or have you flogged over your little white box.
:-P
Huh? I can see it. What do you mean? You can't see it?
(but you remember it ) ')
It isn't visible. You have to redo it.

OMG! LDST has the best new avatar! And I say that as one who has been called "Bellini's sister" by Scott Thompson himself.

Partially inspired by Melchett's Christmas traditions post; I, too, listen to the Queen's Christmas address.
And as a loyal subject to the crown, Scott's homage to the Matriarch is unparalleled.
Plus I knew you'd like it.

Okay, now I know how to take an image and make it into an avatar. Does anybody know any places where there are a lot of images I could use as an avatar? I don't really have anything in mind; I just want to go somewhere where there are a lot of images, look around, and see if anything stands out.

Hoops! Finally, a real picture of you.

Now I don't have to wonder what you look like in real life.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
