The Technical Bit...

Avatars
Avatars are set to 100px x 100px with a maximum file size of 20kb (approx 20,000 Bytes). You can crop, resize, save a copy in your Photobucket account very easy (This is one of the best “free” image hosting sites available, but there are others...)

Images
As above the best way to display your images in your posts is done through your account with Photobucket, (we have added a small “link” to access your Photobucket account at the top of the post window). All you need is the IMG code, Copy it and paste into your post (there will be x4 different codes but IMG is the one you need and the one forums use - See image below)

Image
*This is what you will see under your thumbnail in your Photobucket account

If you are adding a pic via Photobucket or any other image hosting site, the pic really needs to be under 640px wide (as stated in rules) - otherwise part of the pic will be hidden, due to the sites fixed width.

Uploading Images (Direct)
You can do this via the "Upload Attachment", however it is not recommended as this is set to a maximum of 1024kb (or 1mb, and will not be getting any bigger ;) ). We also occasionally need to clear out the files and your image (+ link) may well be lost.

...All sounds rather complicated but it really isn't... enjoy! :D
...of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy.
