Avatars

|
Avatars are the little pictures which individuals associate with their name and appear alongside posts and messages that they create. Members can pick their personal avatar from amongst a selection provided by Ancient Worlds. In addition, there are some members that offer "downloadable avatars" that you can use instead of the stock selection provided. Avatar Avenue at Arache's Web is also a good place to visit to find out more about using avatars and where you can get them. Most people are very finicky about their avatars, because they are visual representations of their characters. Each member, including you, actually has two avatars - a large version and a smaller identical version. The large avatar is displayed on your Entrance Page. The small avatar accompanies your messages and mail. (This becomes more important if you choose to upload your own. You will need to edit your images in a PaintShop- type program to fit certain size requirements.) Please note, however, that it is strictly taboo to steal someone else's avatar from their home page and use it for your own. Don't ever do this! Selecting an Avatar When you first visit your home page, you will see a "stock" avatar image. After you click on "Edit Avatar" you can pick and choose from among a selection of male or female avatar images. After you choose one, your home page will be updated with your new avatar. "Select an Avatar" also allows you to upload your own images to your home page.
