Okay, to install an avatar for your profile, follow these steps. At the top of the page, the Warrior Nation status banner (with your name and messages, etc.), there is a button for your Profile. Click on that button (see image below): When you click on "Profile" your profile page will display. click on the "Modify Profile" button (near the top)--see the image below: You will now be on a page that allows you to change any or all of the parameters concerning your WN profile. There is a line for your avatar address. You can insert the image code for your avatar there. It's best (easiest if you use an hosting site as mentioned before, like Photobucket). It will generate the image code automatically for you and all you have to do is copy and paste it into the profile. This is a partial image of the profile modification page--hte "Personal Information" section, where you can add your avatar. Just paste your avatar's image code in the box where the red arrow is pointing. Some tips: As I said, it helps to use an image hosting site like Photobucket. It's free and unless you plan to post a gazillion pics, you don't need to buy "additional space" to store your pics. It helps to prepare your images before you try to post them. That includes any Photoshopping as well as adding them to your image hosting site first. Then you are ready to change your WN profile. Hope this helps...

coco I got the avatar part ok but what about the picture signature? Is that the same as the avatar? The signature is similar to Scout's siggy protocol. Basically, it was intended that your signature consist of a text message, e.g. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..." kind of thing. I'm sure you can insert an image though. I'll be working on a siggy over the next day or so, and I will tell you if I am successful in putting it up (of course, you'll because you'll be able to see it. For test purposes, I might just recycle an old siggy I already have prepared...(like my avatar, lol)

coco I got the avatar part ok but what about the picture signature? Is that the same as the avatar? Okay. I was able to put my old siggy from the WSN boards up on this one. It's displayed right now. It is essentially the same as the avatar. Prepare your signature (if it's a graphic) ahead of time. Upload it to a picture hosting site and copy the "Image Code" that is assigned to your picture. Start with the same steps as installing an avatar (above). Click on "Profile," then click on "Modify Profile." In the "Personal Information" section there is a box where you enter your signature text or image code (please see the screen cap below). See the red arrow? That box is where you place the image code for your signature... Did this help? Are you still having problems? Let me know and maybe I can help you through the procedure. It's not difficult, I'm probably not explaining it very well...

Thanks coco! I'll try and look for images to play around with, or I may just go with the Davone Bess siggy that you helped me modify on the WSN board. Thank you again!

My pleasure. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) has problems putting up avatars or signatures, or need help preparing images, let me know. I can help with modifying images, creating gifs (animations), morphs, etc.
