First questions - is it okay to have an actress or actor for your avatar and picture.

Secondly, how do you get them on there. I went to control panel, but it said that I couldn't use that setting for an avatar... or something like that.

Yes, it's definitely okay. That's what the Face Claim is for. :)


As for getting it up:


Avatars: I've tried to upload them directly from my computer, and it's only ever worked like...once. What you need to do is upload it to a website, like Photobucket and use the url that they give you. There should be a space in the avatar section for URLs, not sure exactly where, though.

Signatures: You need a link for this, too. Copy the link and hit the IMG button, then enter your URL like it says. That should be all you need to do. :)




Hope I helped! If it's still not working, tell me and I'll try to figure it out for you.

Thank you so much for all your help! I'm still having some trouble with the Avatar, but I think I'll get it eventually!

"My controls"

"edit Avatar Settings"

look at the bottom of the page

"Enter a URL to an online avatar image"
stick the link to wherever your ava's uploaded and you're good to go.
