Avatar & Signature FAQ

[magus86]

Frequently Asked Question

Q1) *How do I set signatures, avatars and profile pictures?

Ans: You can set and change your signature, avatar and profile picture in the User Control Panel (providing the administrator has made these options available).

For signatures, click on 'Edit Signature' under the 'Settings and Options' area of the navigation bar within the User CP.

To select an existing or upload a new avatar, click on 'Edit Avatar'.

To upload a profile picture, click on 'Edit Profile Picture' in the 'Your Profile' section.


*Though this was in the forums FAQ, ppl still ask this question somehow so i'll put it here.

Q2) The option for uploading a avatar/signature is not available, why is that so?

Ans: You need 30 posts for an avatar and 100 posts for a signature.
If you have problems uploading after you meet the requirements, log off and log in again , then try uploading it.

Q3) Does AC support moving .gif avatar or signature?

Ans: Yes

Q4) I have uploaded a .gif avatar/signature and it's not moving when i uploaded it to AC. The original avatar/signature is moving and why can't it move when uploaded to AC?

Ans: There is a filesize limit for avatar and signature for users in AC. It will not move if the filesize of the avatar/signature is over it's limit. As long as the graphic you want to upload is within the size limit and the dimension limit, it will work.

What i mean when i state that transparency works in is that when a user upload a .gif file or .png file with transparent background as their sig, the transparent area stay as transparent just like the sig i'm using now....
