:confused:Where can I get an avatar?
Ok first off i'm not sure where to ask this question so I just posted here.
So where can I find an avatar:confused:Like the url addresses for them and most importantly are they free?And once you find one how do you load it into your profile?Also can you use that same avatar on another website profile?

Re: :confused:Where can I get an avatar?
An avatar can be any graphic file in .jpg .png or .gif formats. Make sure to get what you really want, the forum's software is not the best and you may have trouble changing it later.
I believe size must be 100*80 pixels, and no more than 6 Kb...
You just upload it from your computer.
Ask nicely and someone here can make one for you. What would you like?
Sure, you can use the same avatar in different sites, why not.
In the future, I think Forum Feedback, would be a better place for this kind of questions.

Why not just use the one you had the first time?

Re: :confused:Where can I get an avatar?
Uh because this is the one I had the first time nothing......but uh why does so many people remember me being on here for a week?I didn't really post that much or cause a big impact!....I hope 
But anyway I found the avatar I wanted and then I wrote down the code and typed it in but then it said that the code was invalid?I'm really confused about avatars now?

Glotsy???!!!! Why you....*&*&%^%@(*@&*&
I think what you are referring to are the smiles. On this site they are referred to as maxies. the
Code:
:confused:
code is the same as 
The code refers to a graphic which is programatically replaced by the graphic. You need to have a graphic file and upload it through your profile settings.

SMILEYS!? He was talking about smileys!?
Oh, wow.
Just google "free emoticons" here's one site: http://www.mysmiley.net/
About the code for smileys here, there must be a space before and after the code, or it may not work.
If you want more MacAddict's Max smilies, a lot of them are made by members of this forum and hosted by oatmeal here:
http://homepage.mac.com/oatmeal/MAF/maxes/maxes.html
Once there, click any one you like and you get the code on top, copy and paste.
Smileys!

Re: :confused:Where can I get an avatar?
I gots my own by hook and crook. Made it. Like has been said before, you can grab a pic and use it, or have someone make you one, at least one person has volunteered.
This site has no preconfigured avatars for users.

226,728 bytes... too large.
What's wrong with the original?
And Ar- er, Glotsy... you know BBCode enough to combine links and colors, but can't upload an avvy?

That maybe to big (file size) for an avatar. To use it as that you'll need to download it first and then upload it from your computer.
To put it in your signature, use this:
Code:
[img]http://www.coolavatars.net/avatars/47/nooo.gif[/img]
But you should host it yourself using something like:
