1. How to use an avatar
On FanForum.com you must reach 500 posts to be able to have an avatar. Once you reach that number, you need to save the avatar on your computer (right click-- > save as...) and go to your Profile. Once there, you need to upload the avatar and change the settings to custom. And there ya go!
On other forums, you need to do pretty much the same thing.
2. LiveJournal icons
A new condition to use the LiveJournal Icons:
- If you use any of them, I'd appreciate a link back to this site, or credit me in your keywords with my own Live Journal washizdarkbliss. Thanks.
You save the icon you want, then you go to your LJ and go to your user info. Then, you go to Manage -- > User Pictures. All you have to do is upload the icon and credit me.
3. Hotlinking
Hotlinking is a big no-go. If you hotlink one of these avatars to forums, you may have a problem, because I may be mean and turn off the hotlinking sometimes. Also, I tend to reorganise everything all the time. If you're gonna use these avatars on MBs that require a url, upload them to your own server.
