Confusing...

[Danye West]

I noticed some people have large image avatars, or pictures in their signatures.

How do I do that?

 

Cuz I think this would look really cool:

I think you mean "icons." An "avatar" is an active code that performs certain functions.

 

If you want to put the photos at the bottom of your posts, just go back to the set up screens and add the image URL just as you did to post the pictures here.

I figured the signature out.

But not the 'icon' below my name, to the far left.

You have two beautiful Franklins, Danye.

 

As for your Avatar, at the top, click "My Stuff" -> "My Profile".

 

Scroll to the bottom, and you'll see a form you can use to set your avatar.

Nice franklins indeed but I would shrink the sig by about 50%, its a bit distracting. Looks like they are your main post each time. You can then make the pic a link to a bigger pic as I have.

This is a good suggestion.

 

It is a good picture of some great coins, but you don't want it to be too big.

That is indeed a good suggestion. So how did you make that link?

And how do I get my profile image to be a coin that's not 2x2 pixels?

Put the around the picture with a link to the larger version hosted somewhere else after the equal sign.

Avatar images (the one under your name on the left) have a maximum size in the current software of 75 pixels by 75 pixels. You must downsize your image to that size, and you can then upload it through your profile options.

 

For example, I made this avatar from one of your Frankies.

try a larger upload size where your picture is hosted.
