As I was scrolling through some of the topics today, I noticed that more and more folks are missing their Avatar. Although not a requirement it is highly suggested that you upload one.

For you folks who may not know how here is JohnyMac's "Uploading an Avatar Tutorial."

At the top of the screen click on Profile. In the drop down window click on Forum Profile. The first category is Personalized Picture and four options:

* No Avatar  :(
* Choose Avatar from galley
* Specify Avatar by URL, and
* Upload Avatar.

If you choose to upload an avatar from your computer click on Browse, seek your file and double click on it.

When you are done, click on Change Profile which you will find at the bottom of the screen/right.

Now if you are a visual type of person, our own APX808 has put a Youtube video on the forum located at: http://unchainedpreppers.com/forum/help-a-brother-prepper-out/how-to-update-your-avatar/ (http://unchainedpreppers.com/forum/help-a-brother-prepper-out/how-to-update-your-avatar/) to help you out.

Have fun with it!  :thumbsUp:

(OK, clearly I need a tutorial on embedding videos.  How do you do that?)

For Youtube, if you just copy and paste the 'Share' url into posts here, the forum software automatically recognizes that and embeds the video in the post.

OK, trying again.  Not as witty a response on the 2nd go, though. ;)

I was thinking last night (SCARY) that every new forum member is assigned an avatar. One that they would hate so they would be quick to change it to something the will like.

Any suggestions on newbie avatars?  :trolling:

Yeahhhh! I like the sheep idea. Maybe with a set of big red lips?
