I am not very computer savy. I would like to know how to get an avatar (picture that goes in the upper left of my comments). Anyone know how this is done?

Click profile and at the bottom of the page will be a place to paste the HTML code into that you copied from a free image hosting site such as Imageshack.com after uploading your photo. You have to resize your photo to a desirable and reasonable size before hosting it on the image site and then linking it in you profile to get an avatar. You can play around with this until you're satisfied.
Uh, I already know someone is going to flame you on the using, "a," instead of, "an," in front of a word starting with a vowel so you might as well change it right now. LOL I'm not that anal though and know we're only mistake making humans.
Enjoy your new avatar. Welcome to Korea. |

| You have to make 100 posts before you can use one. |

| I am not sure where to put the URL for my avatar? Do I attach it to my signature? I have not made 100 posts yet so that may be the issue. |

Yes, that is the issue. There will be an avatar option at the bottom of your profile page after you reach 100 posts. |

Bah. I only have 25 posts. And I feel bad spamming for an avatar.  |
