Changing/Setting your AVATAR To change or set your avatar, go to user cp ( control panel) click "Edit Options," and scroll down to the appropriate spot to change your avatar. We have a variety from which you can select...or you can go to the bottom and click "yes" to use a custom avatar. Then browse to find one from your computer. Or you can provide a URL to your avatar, which means it must be uploaded onto a server. You may do this at ShelbyForums.com, assuming you have a pre-made avatar. If not, you must create one from a picture, clip art, etc. ****Custom avatars require a minimum of 1 post.****
