How do I use an avatar?Go to your Profile via the Sandbox tab at the top of the screen (If you're not using the default Dimension skin, go to Profile), there you are given the option to
Modify your Profile. Click this and scroll down until you see a drop down menu labeled
Avatar.
There you may use one of our forum's preset avatars. Open the drop down menu and click on one of them to preview it.
Or, you may use your own avatar by providing a URL in the textbox labeled
Avatar URL:. Just copy and paste the URL after hosting it and it'll show after you save your settings.
How do you host an Avatar?
Photobucket is an excellent host for images, but you need to register to use their services. If you don't want to register, you can use
Imageshack to host your images but it could take a while to upload an image. Your decision. ^_^
If your avatar violates our
Rules however, we'll remove it immediately and give you a warning.
You can then specify the avatar's height and width in the next few textboxes with the same label. The max dimensions are 100x100, but that doesn't mean the file you uploaded HAS to be that size. You can even use a 200x200 image and it'll be reduced to the dimensions that you specified. This only applies to URL images as you can't edit the dimensions for our preset avatars.

How do I put images in my signature?Same thing with the avatars, you'll need to host your images first. Once you do, you put the URL in the following code:
[IMG]http://www.YOURIMAGEURLHERE.com[/IMG]
Paste the code in the
Signature: textbox and save your settings, your image should show in your Signature.
The maximum size for all signatures (Including text) is 500x250 pixels, if your signature exceeds the limit you will be PM'd about your signature size, and we'll decrease the size of your signature.
Full details here.

How do I change the URL link in my post into plain text?[url=http://INSERT.URL.HERE]INSERT TEXT HERE[/url]
Copy this code, insert the URL where it tells you to, and insert the text where it tells you to.
For example, we'll use Abyssal Chronicles for the URL & text. Using
www.abyssalchronicles.com for the URL link and "Abyssal Chronicles" for the main text, it should look something like this:
Abyssal ChroniclesThis is how all linked text should look like. If your link doesn't look like this, double check your code to see if it is correct. Sometimes, certain URLs
need the
http:// sign before the URL itself. If there is a problem with your code (or anything other code) that has not been resolved here, please post your issue in the
help forum and we'll see what's up.

What do the colored names mean?The colored names in our forum represent AC's Staff & WoaA's staff. Here is the legend:

Thread)
If you are using the default
Dimensions skin, then names in black are profiles that you have not viewed. Names in blue are profiles you have already viewed. Profile view colors vary with whatever skin you use. The colors in the legend will ALWAYS stay the same in whatever skin you use.
