What the Heck is an "Avatar"?

[Larry]

"Avatar"? A small crawling animal? An exotic South Sea island?

None of the above. If, like me (until only recently), you haven't a clue; you're not alone. But, here's the answer, and it's pretty neat.

Do you like when you see a users name on a post and there is a snazzy looking small picture under their name? There you go.... that's an "Avatar". And now you can have one too!

We had a small "gallery" to select from before, but we have now added 22 more. Here's how you get one.
1) log in
2) go to "Member Profile" (little box in the middle of your screen right below the big blue band at the top of the page). Click on the small box.
3) scroll down to the bottom of the page (way down!)
4) click on "Show Gallery"
5) select a new picture by clicking the small dot under the one you want
6) click on "Select Avatar" at the bottom of the page. It will then return you to the Member Profile page.
7) click on "Submit". DONE! You now have a snazzy picture that will show up whenever you post (which we hope is often!).

BUT, THERE'S MORE......!! If you would like a special, "uniquely you" picture (your car, your dog, whatever), just sent it to me and I will make it the correct size, add anything you like and post it in your Member Profile for you. E-mail it to: larry.kummer@pontiacregistry.com
