For those of you curious on how to add an avatar and signature here are a few steps:
First off from any page you can select 'Profile' from just under the title screen. If you are logged on it will pull up your public profile that anyone can see. At the top of your profile there will be a selection that says 'Modify Profile'. Click that.
The next screen that comes up has all of your modifications you can do involving your account and profile. Scrolling down and you will find a text box to fill out your signature. There is a character limit and I noticed that sometimes it doesn't update immediately, so make sure to verify it is correct.
As for adding a custom avatar. Your going to need to find an image somewhere online and get it's URL. An easy way to do this is to right click a picture that is found online and select 'Copy Image URL'. Or I'm a big fan of photobucket.com as I can post any of my pics that I want, plus it has a photo editor that will edit down the picture size to the forum's maximum limit of 100x100 pixels.
If you do use photobucket all you have to do is take a picture from your account, crop the picture so its square (the avatar looks the best square on this forum) then re-size to 100x100 pixels. This will give you a correctly proportioned avatar. Once you have the newly re-sized picture saved, click on the 'Direct Link' picture coding that will be located next to the picture. This should automatically copy the picture's URL address to your computer. From there go back to your 'Modify Profile' section of SWCR and paste it in the 'Avatar URL' space. Verify the 'Avatar Width' and Avatar Height' are set to 100. Scroll to the bottom and select "Modify Profile" to save all of your changes.
Hopefully this helps out. If anyone has any issues hit me up here.
