This is just a brief over view of what I have seen as the most asked questions about graphics on Gaming Void Forums. 1. How do I add a signature (sig) to my posts? Click on My Controls at the top menu bar of the forums. On the left side of your screen you should see a menu. Under the Personal Profile section, you will see Edit Signature. Click on that. In the text area you can type in whatever you want in your sig, but to add a picture in it click the IMG button and add the URL of the pic you want in your sig*. *Note - Please keep sig's no more then 225 pixels in height. 2. How do I add an avatar (ava) to my posts? Click on My Controls at the top menu bar of the forums. On the left side of your screen you should see a menu. Under the Personal Profile section, you will see Edit Avatar Settings. Click on that. Here you will come across a few ways to update your avatar. You can use one of our Pre-Installed avatars we have in our Base Gallery, IPM Community Pack, or Smiley Avatars. Feel free to use these, but most people will use an image avatar. You can use these by either putting the URL in the text area of it and it will use it. Or you can upload one that you've made or saved to your computer. Just click upload and find it and upload it. Avatars max size in these forums is 64x64 pixels. When you use image avatars and they are larger then 64x64 Pixels, the forums will automatically resize your ava until it's within the 64x64 pixel window. 3. What can I use to make my own sig or ava? You can use any image making program. Photoshop is the most commonly used, but you can use a VERY wide variety of programs from Paint, to Bryce 5.0. Just remember the Gaming Void Forum Rules! 4. What is the S.O.T.M.? S.O.T.M. is the Sig of the Month competition. You can enter any sig (abiding by the rules) and we possibly will have prizes for the month. Mostly it's just for bragging rights saying that your a better sig designer then everyone else on the Gaming Void Forums. 5. For you gamer forum beginners ill show you how to make an image for your signiture. The bellow is a code that can make a simple banner for your signiture.
This is the effect you will get:  This is a code for a linked banner:
Here is the effect you will get. Click on the image and it will take you to the site's forums. Good luck new members! I hope this helped! And of course heres another thing, Simply right clicking on an image and copying its URL is very unpolite, becuase it eats their bandwitch, and in some cases agaisnt the law. So right click "save image as". Of course youll need some were to host it so why not give GamingVoid's exelent image hosting a spin, Click the banner below!
