How do you make a signature, and edit your avatar?
I've been with my doll for 4 months, and I've never found a website like this one. All the posters seem nice, and the mods do a GREAT job keeping out the trolls and harmful messages. Thanks for the help in advance, guys!

Up in the lefthand corner, just below where it says "The Doll Forum", you should see a link called "User Control Panel" - click there and explore!
Be sure to read the announcements threads that show up in there, and have a ball.
Welcome aboard!
(And . . . I think there may be a better place for this thread than the Candy18 forum... Perhaps a moderator will move it so that you get the eyes you really want on it!)

For an avatar, find a pic that you like, save it to your computer, then crop it and resize it 120 x 120 pixels or smaller. Then, on the User Control Panel, go to "Profile" and select "Edit Avatar". From there you can upload the pic from your computer.
Likewise, you can go to "Edit Signature" and type in whatever you want it to say. Once you create an account in the Doll Album, you can upload your pics and there and link them here, as well as create a link to your album in your sig. The simplest way is to copy the address, highlight it, and select "URL", though it's also possible to embed the link into a word or phrase, or even a photo.
You can also upload pics directly into a post from your computer the same as for the avatar pic. Click "Choose file", find the photo you want on your computer and select it, and then click "Add the file". You may have to resize it for it to fit, as pics tend to be too large straight from the camera; I usually resize mine to 1014 x 1352 pixels. If you don't have pic-resizing software, there's a free resizer available here. That worked quite well for me 'til I got my iMac with the resizing software built in....

When i look at the site it said: The avatar functionality is currently disabled
