Smilies as avatars
 

Had a request from Paul to change his avatar to :scotty: which I've done.

But on this subject, if anyone wants to use any of the smilies as an avatar, then simply open the smilies list box, choose the one you want then right click on it, choose 'save as' and save it to your desktop or a folder on your computer.

All the smilies are gif file extensions (allows animation) and will automatically be saved as that so don't change the file extension type to anything like j.peg as they won't be animated when you re-use them.

Then it's just the simple matter of changing your avatar settings in your own personal control panel, choose the option to upload from your computer by hitting the browse button and locate the smilie you saved.

Just be aware that some smilies may be too large in file size, so will not be use-able unless you use an application for resizing gif files before using it.
