How do u get avatar pics at the mo ive been copying this website kinda thing but it doesnt work and the help in options isnt that helpful, could someone please tell mw what to type?http://www.freewebs.com/stargateworldsb ... _orbit.jpg

I might be wrong but I think its too big actually

User Control Panel
Profile tab
Edit avatar

Upload from your machine
or
Upload from a URL: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Enter the URL of the location containing the image. The image will be copied to this site.

Place your link on the upload from a URL.
But http://www.freewebs.com/stargateworldsb ... _orbit.jpg seems too large for an avatar.

Actually, that's way too big for a signature as well.

I believe we're going towards 100 X 100 for avatars and 100 X 500 for signatures, but rules will be forthcoming.

ok thx for the help i will try this now.

How would you get writing on your avatar eg you say jump i say wheres the cliff

I don't think you can put words on your avatar. Unless you edit the picture by using MS Paint or something similar.
Or were you referring to the signature?
