Help Guide: Avatars and Taglines
Creating or Changing an Avatar in Your Profile
There are three ways to create or change an avatar in your profile. You can select a MACO (Forum) avatar from one of our provided images, you can upload your own custom avatar from a file, or you can enter your own custom avatar URL. Proboards avatars will not be used. Note that your Shout Box avatar is determined by your profile avatar.
Start with Your Profile
First, go to your profile and click on "Edit Profile." Scroll down so that your profile and settings page is in full view.
Forum Avatars
To choose a Forum avatar from one of the provided images, select “Use a Forum Avatar – Pick One” by clicking on the button to its left. Now click on “Pick One” and, using the scroll bar, select an avatar and click on it. Click on “Save Avatar Changes.” Your avatar is now ready
Custom Avatars
To enter your own custom avatar, select “Use only the Uploaded/Linked” by clicking on the button to its left. Now click on “Uploaded/Linked,” then either click on “Select Image” and upload your avatar from a file (1MB max), or link an image from the internet by entering its URL in the space provided and then clicking on “Link Image.” Custom avatars are required to be 120 pixels in width by 150 pixels in height.
Taglines & Personal Text
To add your own tagline or other personal words, click on “Personal” just above your name. Now scroll down to “Most Recent Status” and enter your text. When you are finished, just scroll down to the bottom and click on "Save Personal Settings." Your personal text will be displayed directly under your avatar.
