Help a new person with avatars.
« on: June 25, 2012, 12:28:05 pm »

I can't find the correct place for this, so I'm gonna put this here.
How do I get a forum avatar? Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Be careful, you might get cursed like I am and be unable to use avatars for no reason.

What, exactly does url mean, and how do I find it. Sorry, I got cursed with a computer class that only teaches typing skills. Which I don't even use.

Find yourself a nice website picture or gif
Go to profile -->modify profile --> forum profile
Put in (copy paste) the link :D

Note that the forum doesn't like certain avatars for some inexplicable reason, so if it doesn't load just try another one.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

So you learned how to play Dwarf Fortress before you learned what a url is? Now that is Dwarfy.

To put it simply, Dwarf Fortress is the Black Metal of video games.

Then you'd need to upload to an image post. Until then, here, you can have one of mine!

Also, MSH, your image doesn't work because you didn't link to it.

You need to use http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3993/unfinishedavatar.jpg
