well while im at it I will show how to make an avatar
if you have a full sized image in the gallery that you want as an avatar you can skip to step 7 but, make sure to right click on the thumbnail image not the full size image.
if you are starting from scratch and you only want to upload an avatar and not a full size image you can use photoshop or whatever to size it, I will explain using photoshop.
1- open the image
2- if it is already the way you want it as far as brightness/contrast color balance composition...dont worry about this because your pictures suck anyways.
3- go file-save for web.
this will open a new window
now click the "image size tab to the right
4- for bloodydecks the size limit is 200x200 pixels so whatever your longest side is (is the picture horizontal or vertical?) make the longest side 200 pixels.
then hit apply.
5- click "save" give it a name and click save and there it is, now you need to get it on BD
6- upload your avatar into your gallery.
7- once it is in the gallery, right click on thefull sized avatar image and select "properties"
8- a new window comes up now, copy the URL
9- go to "user CP" in the main bar of the forum
10- select "edit avatar"
11- now a bunch of gay avatars are there but you dont want those but you do,
12- where it says "enter avatar URL" delete the existing crap (http:www)
13- now paste in the URL you copied from your gallery and save changes
. A lot of people need pictures to learn how...
