Directions for Creating a profile picture (Avatar) and also tweaking your signature.
This drove me crazy recently, although I know that there are many posts addressing this issue. Here's my two cents:
1. Resize your photo first, then save it to a webserver: You have to resize whatever photo you're using to 65x75 max pixels, may be smaller) (.gif, .jpg, .png accepted) per the instructions here. I've found the site Picnik.com to be an easy way to do this. Steps for Picnik: upload photo, click "resize", enter dimensions, hit "Ok", then save it to you computer.
2. Upload your photo to the web so you can get a url: I've used Flickr.com as a good free service for storing photos online. once you've uploaded your resized photo to Flickr, then choose the option "All Sizes" just above your photo on Flickr. This will take you to a page where it gives you the URL you'll need to copy/paste for KA. "Grab the photos' URL" and copy paste that url into the URL section of the KickAS website under "My Home"- "Main Configuration"-- "Personal Information, email, password, etc.".
That should do it!
To tweak your signature and add photos, etc. Just follow the UBB code on that section. You'll use tags like [image] enter the url to image[/image], in order to enter an image like you see on my signature. It's pretty easy if you give it a try. The image URL between the [image] codes is another one of those links you'll copy/paste from Flickr (in this case).
PM me if you have any questions.
