<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Image:SF2.0SAvatar.png|200px|thumb|right|alt=^.^|Avatar Uploading]]<br />
Avatars are small images that are displayed next to your Username in various areas on SoFurry. If you have used an on-line bulletin board or forum before you know what they are. In this section I'll help you select either a default avatar provided by the SoFurry community or upload your own.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Using provided Avatars ==<br />
The simplest way to set an avatar is to use one of SoFurry's Provided Avatars. <br />
* Log in to SoFurry.<br />
* Click the link at the top left-most part of the header under your user name titled '''settings'''<br />
* On the left-most side of the settings page are a set of persistent links under the heading titled ''Tools''. (These links stay on the page no matter what tab you click on.) The top link is titled '''Avatars'''. Click the link. <br />
* A new page will open titled ''My Avatars''. At the bottom left most side of the page is a link titled '''Provided Avatars'''. (Indicated by '''1''' on the image to the right.) Simply click the link and select any one of the provided images by clicking on the '''USE''' link at the bottom of the avatar.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Using a custom Avatar ==<br />
If you already have an avatar you would like to upload to use then this part is for you, but first I have to mention a few things about what kind of files are allowed.<br />
<br />
* Avatars come in two varieties. Clean and Adult. You should always have at least one clean avatar that will be displayed to users who have adult settings turned off.<br />
* You can have multiple avatars. Their are some exciting things in the works with avatars but at this time SoFurry will randomly choose one of your avatars from the list you have uploaded based on the viewer's adult settings.<br />
* Avatars need to be 100 x 100 pixels in size.<br />
* Avatars can be in PNG, JPG or GIF format.<br />
* You can use animated avatars, but the image should not flash or use rapidly changing colors out of courtesy. (It can also be dangerous! Rapidly changing colors, in particular the color red, can adversely effect people with epilepsy and other serious medical conditions.)<br />
<br />
Once you have a file that meets the above parameters it's time to upload it. The image on the upper right has numbers on it illustrating the steps detailed below.<br />
* Log in to SoFurry.<br />
* Click the link at the top left-most part of the header under your user name titled '''settings'''<br />
* On the left-most side of the settings page are a set of persistent links under the heading titled ''Tools''. (These links stay on the page no matter what tab you click on.) The top link is titled '''Avatars'''. Click the link. <br />
* First click the '''Upload New Avatar''' Button. ('''2''')<br />
* A file dialog box will appear. ('''3''') Note: Your dialog box will probably look different depending on your operating system / browser.<br />
* Select the file you wish to upload and select the '''Open''' button. ('''4''')<br />
* If your file is larger than 100 x 100 pixels a new page will open ('''5''') allowing you to crop (select a smaller part) of the file to use as your avatar. In the example image I moved the bounding box on the top image so that it selected the part of the picture I wanted to use as my avatar. The bottom image shows a preview of the avatar. Once your finished click the '''Crop Avatar''' link.<br />
* Your avatar will appear in a list back on the ''My Avatars'' page. If your avatar contains adult content click the '''<nowiki>[toggle]</nowiki>''' ('''6''') link to switch it between ''adults'' and ''all ages''.<br />
* If your not happy with your new avatar or simply would like to remove it click the '''delete''' ('''7''') link to remove it from SoFurry.</div>Phantomgraph
