Ok, so I am unsure, I just joined these forums a couple days ago: is there a way to choose or upload avatars in any capacity? Currently this dragon is the only one I can figure out how to access. I also don't know how you put in a signature. The profile seems very limited.
EDIT: Never mind. It was just a probationary restriction since I was new to the forums. It works fine now.

I don't have a signature or avatar options available yet, maybe after this post I will.
Edit: Nope, still nothing. Do you know what conditions have to be met in order to be able to choose avatar and signature?
Upon an accounts first visit to our forums here, the account is placed on probation. During that time, which lasts about a week, many forum function will be limited. This includes making new threads, avatars, and signatures. If you still cannot do these things after a week's time, please contact Support. Please note, this probation period does not start upon account creation but upon first visit to the forums.
Safe travels,

Okay, seems to be working now. Had to shrink it to keep this forum from destroying the transparency when I uploaded it. Shame I can't keep it 500 x 250, but it will do I guess. Would love to be able to use the "gif" format so I can put my other characters in the same signature, but I will just stick with my "main" character for now.

Looking good! Do re-read the first post in this thread, as the maximum allowed size for the entire signature (images and text) is 500px wide, by 250px high. Your image here is 450x225, so you can still make it a little bigger if you don't add any actual forum text to the signature field. A single line of text takes up about 12-15px in height when using the default text for the forum. For example, my signature image is 500x150 and both lines of text below adds on 30px to the height, making it 500x180 in total.
You may also use .gif format, just as long as it is not an animated GIF. I'm guessing thought that's why you want to use .gif format, to show your others in a slideshow. Alas, we cannot allow animated images.
Ah, that's what got me. I misunderstood and thought the maximum dimensions were just for the image alone, thanks for clearing that up for me, I was getting frustrated when the forum kept removing the transparency on it and wasn't sure why it was doing that. I guess I will leave it that size in case I do want to add a little text to it later.

Most welcome. You may also use .PNG for better quality and transparency. However, .PNGs tend to be higher in file size, which our limit in that regard is 200kb. I see you're already using .PNG though and it is under the limit, at 176kb. So your sig is good as it is. Looks nice too!

...and by that you mean 500px WIDE by 250px HIGH.
