Welcome to the Magical World of Disney Boards!! We're happy to have you here. So, this is a messageboard...which means we can post pretty much anything we want, right?
Genie: Almost. There are a few addendums...some quid pro quos.
Like...
Genie: Rule #1! Be respectful! Treat others as you would like to be treated. Sometimes disagreements will occur...especially when discussing films and/or characters. It's ok to disagree. Let's just not let it tear us apart. *tears his limbs from his body and pulls himself back together*
Rule #2! Let's keep it family friendly! Sometimes in the heat of the moment, it is tempting to use profane language to get your point across. Also, it could be tempting to talk about a character's looks in a way that is somewhat inappropriate. Use your best judgement. If it's questionable, don't post it. We want people of all ages to join us! *shifts from a child to an old man*
Rule #3! No spamming!!! Please help us keep the boards clean by making sure you don't repeat repeat yourself. Let's try to keep one thread per topic. And if you make a post, please edit your post if you think of something else to say, rather than double post. *turns into a broom and dustpan sweeping up the garbage*
Rule #4! Enjoy!!
Thanks, Genie. Hope everyone has a swell time here.

Peter Pan: Oh, and something I forgot...
Rule #5: "Pity Me" threads will NOT be allowed. Any thread that falls under this category will be deleted.
Rule #6: This is in the Silly Symphony forums, but I'll put it here as well. NO FILE SHARING!! This is ILLEGAL and will NOT be tolerated.

I think we're going with the Proboards character limit. When you change your sig, it should let you know how many characters you have left.

I take it from Jen's signature that you are allowing images?

So far, yes... As long as the images are family-friendly, and are not huge... I'd prefer maybe no bigger than 150 pixles in height, at least.

:)Hi, I'm stuck when it comes to changing an Avatar. I went to www.photobucket.com and saw an avatar that I would like to use, but I have no idea how to get across to my profile. Could you please tell me the steps to take? Also, I replied to a message, but how do you do a message as the message asked for some input and I don't know how to send a message like that? Thanks heaps. P.S. I love your avatar

As far as the avatar change, look under the banner at the top of the page and click "Profile". Next, when you get to your profile page, you should see Member's Bio - "Modify Profile" - Bookmarks. Click "Modify Profile". Midway down the page is the option to change your avatar.
I had a little trouble finding this the first time myself.

Hmm. I'll copy over what is stated in the FAQ Thread: II. A couple of things in your profile: What is an avatar, and how do I change it?An avatar is a small picture displayed under your name. Something like this: To change your avatar click on Profile at the top of the boards between calendar and logout. Once you are in your profile. Scroll down to Personal Information until you see it say Avatar. You have several choices when it comes to avatars. You can use the down arrow and use one of the avatars provided. Or you can use a custom avatar. Remember that it has to be at least 100 x 100. You can now use animated avatars, as well. You can create an avatar using Paint or any other Picture Programs such as Paint Shop Pro or PhotoShop. Once you create your avatar upload it to an image hosting site such as www.photobucket.com. Please remember to keep your avatars family friendly, at least in PG-13. We want to keep this board as family friendly as possible. When your avatar is uploaded to an image hosting site, look in your profile to find where it says Avatar URL. Copy and paste the URL into the space provided. Look for where it says:
Avatar Width: 100 Avatar Height: 100 If you made your avatar with 100 width x 100 height, just type 100 in both spaces provided. Next, click on Modify Profile, and you're set! Enjoy your new avatar. I hope this helps you, Chris.

;D Thanks heaps for you help. I finally worked out what I was doing wrong. The photos had to be ending in .gif and the ones that I had tried to copy didn't. Now I know! Yippee!!!!!! I'm so wrapped. I then signed up and got my own one. As you can see I'm a massive High School Muscial fan, so I decided to have one with Mickey and Zac Efron. The best of both worlds. Minnie's there too, which is an added bonus. I hope you like it. Thanks again.

not to be picky, but if you aren't the person who made the avatar it might be nice to give credit to the real owner in the siggy...
just a suggestion.

I got this photo from a fan site and had it on my computer. I then put it on photobucket so I don't know who originally took the photo. Sorry if I did something wrong.
