Hello!
« on: January 08, 2014, 01:33:58 am »
Hello, I made this account back in June of 2012 but I haven't really played much. I'm wondering will my account on the game still work? Also how do I change my avatar I'm all confused. :(

Ever had a icon that was about 200x200 and it looks crisp clear when viewed on Window photo preview, then when you upload it on here it looks blurred or pixelated? Well I have the solution for you. First, Do you know the difference in computer resolution?

The right and left pictures were preformed in different ways when uploading in on here. One from a Direct upload from my computer and the other a Directlink from Photobucket. Which one do you like best? Lets move on...
First you would make your picture in photoshop and or find a good resolution picture on the internet. Once you have that try to crop it to at least 200x200(sometimes 150x150 is a better option). When you do that a good place to upload your picture would be on photobucket or any related site such as it

Since I like to use Photobucket a lot this tutorial will be based on it. If you so happen to know of another file sharing shite such as this please use it
First off upload your picture

Next when you are finishing uploading your picture then click it and there is displayed options on the right hand side. Since we are doing just Avatars you will be needing this link or similar Direct coding with a website link in it.

From there go into your profile page and on the left hand side there should be account tabs just for you..click on the one that says Forum Profile Information.
From there, you should see options for your avatar as well as some for your signature. The one you will be using will be the link where it requires a direct link. Get your coding from the website and place it here. After that you have uploaded a successful avatar.
Now using the "Upload from my computer" function works just as fine too, but why do you want to use a direct link coding instead of this.
Reason to use Direct instead of a Computer download
1) The resolution on the image is 2x more better and more crisp
2) Using the Direct link method allows you not only upload jpgs, but also gifs as well. So you cant upload a gif onto the other setting cause it will not work.
With that saying, this ends the tutorial on Avatars


Signature

For signatures we will be doing almost the same steps but will be using a different link this time. We will be using the IMG coding this time.

Go back to your file sharing site and find this link. It should be a IMG link if not then chances are it wont work to well. After that fallow the same steps as the Avatar by going into the Forum Profile Information and this time, go in your signature box.

After you click that then it will give you options such as "Signature" which is what you want. From there you just input the IMG coding you have gotten and then save it. In a few minutes or so you will have a signature.

And If you've done all the steps correctly then you have successfully uploaded a prefect signature. Now just a note that0 there is a size limit to this as well, you are able to see how much space you have left when you look at the number grid underneath the signature box. You can upload jpg, and gifs in the signature box as far as I know of.
With all this said, this ends the tutorial on Adding a signature to your profile.
Hope you have a good time on the forums! If you need any help, feel free to message me.
