	Avatars

Solution Avatars are the pictures that appear above or beside a person's name on a forum. You also use avatars on AOL, MSN, and Yahoo! Messengers.

The HPFF forums only allow users who are Members+ (150 posts or more) to upload their own avatars (see Post Counts). Those considered new students and Members must use avatars from the base gallery. To look at the base gallery, take the following steps:

1. Find the drop-down menu located in the upper right portion of your screen when you are on the forums
2. Click on "My Settings" and select the "Profile" tab
3. Click on "Change Avatar" (on the left-hand side of the screen), and scroll down to "Pre-installed avatars"
4. Explore the different galleries

From there, you can choose which avatar to choose for your account.

To upload your own Avatar, take the following steps:

1. Upload your icon on a photo hosting site (ex: TinyPic)
2. Copy the Direct Link provided by the hosting site (it may look something like this -- http: //www .sitenamehere.com/filenamehere.gif)
3. Log-in to your HPFF fourm account and select My Settings from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the screen
4. Select the Profile tab, and then Change Avatar
5. Choose the Enter A URL option to insert your icon and Paste the code that you copied in step 2. Then click Save Changes
