How To: Set Your User Picture/Avatar

Unread post by Mania »

If you are a registered user, you can set your avatar -- mine shows my character with her croco-slime, courtesy of Pike -- by going to the User Control Panel. (There's a link towards the top of the page.) Then go into the Profile section and choose Edit Avatar.

You can upload your own custom avatar if you like, or choose one from the gallery. If you choose to upload your own avatar, please try to keep it tasteful and appropriate. ;)

I've uploaded some basic WoW-themed gallery avatars, including the icons for the different pet families. (Look for "Display Gallery" on the Edit Avatar page, then use the drop-down menu to look at the different categories.) I'd be happy to upload more gallery avatars if anyone wants them.

Hey there-

Silly question, but can you allocate a bit more space for the icon? I have a 100X100 sized one, but it is 19Kb and thus too large.

That, or can you add a nice Belf icon for your gallery?

It's a lovely new home, just want to paint my room ::grin::

I think I found the right number to tweak. Let me know if it still gives you trouble and I'll try tweaking other random numbers. ;)
