It's a little bit different from the old board but not by much.
Click on User Control Panel which can be found at the top-left of any page:



Then click on Profile which i've highlighted in yellow:



Then click on Edit Avatar and u'll see a box to add the address just like the old forum or you are allowed to upload it to the MM server.
Click on Edit Signature to add your siggy banner.

Auntie Phil why do I always have so many problems loading a new avatar...I'm gonna cry in a minute!!
Everything's toooooooo bloody big argh!

Why can't the system adjust automatically to fit huh, huh?

Upload it to Photobucket then resize it to 100x100

Friggin' ell Wozza if a luddite like me can do it I'd be seriously worried if you can't!

Err........ well........... I knew that....

i feel a right tit for asking, but how do you load an image or banner in your signature?, sorry to ask such a silly question but as ive said before im not that computer savvy

Upload it to Image Shack using the guide in The Showroom then paste the IMG code into a blank box marked Signature in your Profile.
Make sure the pic isn't too big, you can resize it with Image Shack by using their drop-down menu - choose 320 x 240.

cheers phil, i thought i just had to download pics & load them from there , thanks again.

I'm always here to help.
