Signatures and Avatars
How do I get pictures under my posts and name like other people?
To add an avatar:
1. Click on the small HNZ crest that you'll find on the top right of the screen.
2. It will open a smaller screen, and you should click the HNZ crest once more where it says 'edit.' Once there, you can upload a file with the avatar you'd like to use.
To add a signature:
1. Follow step one from above.
2. Under the your account tab, you'll want to click on the signature option. can be done by hovering over 'Preferences' then clicking on 'Change Signature.
In order to add an image to your signature you'll need to use BBCode. So, for instance, if you wanted this image in your signature:
You would have to use the image BBCode tag.
Code:
[img]Insert Image Link[/img]
Since the link to that particular image is
http://z5.ifrm.com/9058/177/0/f5012237/textareaBG.png you would input
Code:
[img]http://z5.ifrm.com/9058/177/0/f5012237/textareaBG.png[/img]

How do I host my image so that I can add it onto the site?
We now have an HNZ media gallery that you can use to store images without fear of re-hosting elsewhere!
First, , you'll want to head to this link:
UPLOADS
Once there you'll notice on the right the option to 'add media.' You'll be able to decide a category to add the image to, which can be one of the public categories (everyone will have access to use) or create a personal album (personal use).
Once you select an option, you'll head to a screen that says 'upload file,' add the file from your computer or phone and then you can add a description and some tags. If you're creating a new album, you can also give that a description and title. And then hit 'save.'
Once you've hit 'save' you'll note on the bottom right several options to share your media. Choose your option and then follow the instructions above to add as an avatar or signature!

Is it OK if I use the same celebrity to represent my character as someone else?
Yes, definitely. There are no rules regarding people using the same celebrity "play-by" as other people on the site. If you want, you could ask that person if they're alright with it (especially if their play-by is pretty unique) but that is by no means required.
All we ask is that you read
this thread then get your character's name added to it, so that we have a cohesive list of who is using what celebrity (which might help other people if they don't want to use the same celebrity as another person).
