Edited to reflect the changes made to the forum and how too setup an Avatar and Signature after the update to the forum. (as of January 23, 2020.)
Hello everyone, I spend a fair bit of time telling members how to add an Avatar and Signature to there profile so I wanted to explain it here with some pictures to help.
After clicking the picture, you should arrive at the Avatar profile page. Here you click the browse button and search for your Avatar on your computer.
Once you have found and opened it, click the OK button and you should be the proud owner of a new Avatar you can show off on the forums!!
It is basically the same for Tablet and mobile phone users except for the coping part. For mobile users you will need to hold your finger over the Avatar until you get a popup that will give you the option to download it to your device.
then you can browse to your gallery to find and pick it.
then click the OK button to confirm and you should also be the proud owner of a new Avatar to show off on the forums!!
I would like to add that if you are doing your own Avatar they have to be small in both size Height and width and width and in size in megabites. I try to just select the face of a character with a square selection and then resize it to 100 by 100 pixels and save it as a .jpg file.
I hope this post will help those in need of assistance in adding an Avatar to their profile. If you have any questions you can start a conversation with me by clicking on my Avatar at the left of the post and clicking start a conversation or you can post a question to my Artist corner page by clicking the link under my signature.

Avatars (PC users)
1. The first thing is to have your Avatar downloaded to your computer. If already made for you just copy it and paste it somewhere you will be easily be able to find it (desktop or my pictures). Then go to the forum and click at the top where your screen name is and then click on the picture there (if no avatars have been added before the picture will be a question mark).
