An avatar is a small image you (and other people) choose to represent yourself in certain online environments; this helps to define your identity inside an online community. The most common use of which is on forums. Because avatars are most commonly used in forums, I will now explain the basic elements of a posted message (or “post”).
Too change you avatar in vBulletin you must first register, this process is self-explanatory. Once you have registered you will have a profile. There will be an image or link (usually near the top of the page) that says “user cp” or “profile”. Click on this option to open your profile (you must be logged in).
You will see options along the top (e.g. “User CP”, “Edit Profile”, “Edit Options”), select the third one, “Edit Options”. At the bottom of this page you will see an option called “Avatar” with a link below that says “More Info…” (see image below).
Now you will see the avatar option at the bottom of the “Edit Options” menu. If you have already made an avatar available you will see it in the menu on this page, if not you will see nothing. You can click “More Info…” to learn more, or click the “Change Avatar” button to edit.
After you click the “Change Avatar” button, you will be taken another interface specifically made for changing your avatar. You can then upload a picture in gif, jpg, or bmp format from your computer.
The maximum dimensions and size allowed for avatars is 150x150 pixels and 200kb.. You avatar can not exceed these amounts, but can be less.
We also have a selection of avatars to choose from. You are welcome to use the avatar gallery.
