If you would like to add a Avatar (a small picture that appears above your profile in each of your posts) follow these directions.

Please respect the views of others when picking an Avatar. It may be removed if the Admins feel that it is unsuitable.

To find a avatar you like you can use Google Images to search under the subject you want such as " NASCAR Avatar" or Britney Spears Avatar"..
Once you find one you like put your cursor over the picture and right click your mouse so that the picture's Properties box comes up.
Next, usually down on the bottom of the box will be the pictures web address/location. Use your mouse to high light the address and cut and paste it to the appropriate box in your Profile in the Avatar section.

Another way to get a picture such as a company logo or one you have stored on your computer is to store it on http://www.photobucket.com. (it's free and makes it real easy to share photos online) Photobucket has an "Edit" feature that you can use to re-size any photo or file to "Avatar" dimensions.

In order to keep the pages loading as quickly as possible we have set the size limits for Avatars to 150 by 150 pixels.


OR

1. Visit http://www.imageshack.us
2. Select browse to find an image on your computer that you want to upload. Select an image, press OK/Open.
3. Select the '100x75 (avatar)' option in the resize image drop down box.
4. Press the "Host it!" button. After a short while (depending on your internet connection and image size), your image will upload and you will see a number of boxes with linking code for your uploaded image.
5. Select and copy the text in the last box.
6. Go to your Mikeysboard profile and scroll down to the Avatar section.
7. Paste the text into the box that reads 'Upload Avatar from a URL:'
8. Click Submit
