After you've registered at ezboard and posted at the Essence forum, you may use an avatar - an image which appears by your name every time you post.

It is very easy to apply an avatar to your profile. Here's how:

First, create an avatar that is 60x60 pixels in size.

Upload your avatar to the internet. If you do not have a site, use free resources like Ofoto or PhotoBucket to host your images.

Log in to EZboard.com with your username and password.

Click Edit Profile.

One option says Personal Picture URL - in that slot, put in the exact hosted URL of the avatar you wish to use.

Click the box which says Use personal photo.

If you have a certain avatar that you have made only for your own use and would prefer be yours alone, express that to the board and I'm sure no one else will claim it nor use it.

If you have a request for an avatar because you don't have your own photo editing program, post the image in the FAQ Updates thread, and someone (most likely Little Willow) will make it into an avatar just for you.
