Just now someone asked me how to upload a pictures and I know some of you seem to be having a problem with uploading pictures and signatures (I know I did when I first started on the forums^^)
This is a quick and simple guide to show you how step by step.
1. First of all know which picture you want :P
2. Next, go to http://tinypic.com/
3. Then upload your picture by clicking on the browse button. You can also chose the size you want your image to be. (don’t forget that the standard size for an Outspark sig should be no larger than 600X500 pixels. So choosing the 320X240 would be your best choice)
(Don't forget you can resize to a more precise size using your editing program, such as photoshop and paint.net ^^ but itis good for a quick resize)

4. Once you upload your picture you will get this screen;

Choose the link in IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards to paste the image directly.
Choose the link in Direct Link for Layouts to paste a direct link to your image;

SIGNATURES;
At almost the top of the forum page you will see a horizontal grey bar with options, calendar, new posts, search, quick links and log out.
1. Click on Quick Links > Signatures

2. Then paste the link of your photo from the IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards
3. Customize your siggy as you please ^^
Remember: Avatars can only be personalized with photos outside of the given options by members of Outspark staff only.
( To the left of where you are editing your signature you should find and Edit Avatar option )
Well, I hope this helped you.
Know that there are other programs such as photobucket and imageshack.us with which you can upload. I use tiny pic and I find it very good. I don’t know if there will be a big difference with other programs. But in the end if it gives you a link with which to upload your pic it works just fine ^^ hehe.
