I have my personal avatar now!! It looks good, but it appears smaller than it should (at least, on my display). This is interesting because the image is full size when viewed directly. For example: Try this experiment (it may work for other people as well): 1. Go to your profile page. If you're logged in, click here to do this. 2. Click on the Modify Profile link. A Modify Profile page should appear. 3. Look for the two boxes that say Avatar Width and Avatar Height. Put the number 100 in each of those boxes. 4. Press the Modify Profile button near the bottom of the page. If this doesn't have an effect, we'll look into the issue further.

Sure. There's no traffic at this forum yet, so it's not difficult to make avatars.
If you'd like an avatar, either use PM (Private Message) here to contact me or send email to this address:
jvanmason@yahoo.com
Talk about ideas you have for the picture. I'll PM or mail back and we'll see what works. Note that avatars here are limited to 100 pixels wide so they may be simple; but Antek's came out O.K.
BTW Welcome to the Niklas forum. You'll find links to Niklas drawings and stories in another thread. If you like to write or draw contact me about that; I'll edit material and put it on one of my sites.

Here's the avatar that Pantser requested in PM: Pantser: If you see this, edit your profile as mentioned in a post above. You'll see a way to add the avatar. You can use the link below. Or upload the image to your own hosting site and use that link. When you add the avatar, be sure to set the width and height to 100 and 100. If you need help, email me or PM me. Note: You can change the avatar at any time. i.imgbox.com/aaqhrlLc.pngIf the link breaks and the avatar goes away, let me know and I'll take care of it.

Sorry I haven't replied in a while, but the avatar doesn't seem to be working. 1. There's no rush to reply to things. The new forum is just starting so there's no activity yet. More people will show up over time. Niklas has been around for over a decade and other fans will happen by. 2. Your avatar is at half-size. To make it full-size follow the instructions I wrote for Antek further up in this thread. Look for the part about editing your profile and setting width to 100 and height to 100. If you have difficulty with this I'll post a screenshot that shows what you should see while making a change.

Are we allowed signatures too? Also, can we write sorta fan fictions for Niklas? 1. First, I see that your avatar is working now. As a related note, the avatar was created by an artist named Perry. He'd be pleased to hear if it's acceptable. 2. You can have signatures. They need to be suitable. Remember that this is a public site. Edit your profile again as you did earlier. You will find the signature box near the place that you set the avatar height and width. Note: If you edit your profile to add a signature, you may need to set the avatar height and width to 100 again. 3. You can write fan fictions. I'll edit them and arrange illustrations in some cases. Some stories may end up on the main Niklas site. Or they may go on one of the other sites. The "Cat Kid" story, for example, is on two sites. Here are the rules. (a) There are four possible ways to proceed. You can email or PM your works to me. Or you can type stories onto a wiki site; I plan to create the wiki site this weekend. Or you can talk about writing stories or post parts of fan fictions in a new thread here. I will start a thread for this in a few minutes. (b) If you post here or use the wiki site remember that public posts should be suitable for all audiences. If you are in doubt or have questions, send your stories by email. My current email address is below. This address may change in the future: jvanmason@yahoo.com (c) I will edit stories or outlines without mercy This may mean complete rewrites. (d) Your text will be placed under a license known as Creative Commons. This means that you will receive credit but that you are essentially donating your stories to Niklas. (e) If your stories don't fit into the Niklas world we may work on them anyway and run them on a general fiction site. As an example, a non-Niklas story by Perry will be posted soon. It's a nice biographical piece about a boy and his dog.

This is a proposed avatar for philiams based on the theme shy boy. As with the others so far it is by Perry. philiams: if you see this, you'll find instructions elsewhere in this thread. I can't install the avatar directly myself but tell me if you have problems with it: If you'd like changes email me again.

I can draw avatars for anyone who can tell me how to install the darned things here. I drew one for myself based on Jahv, but I can't install it. Firefox keeps blocking pop-ups (apparently necessary to create the avatar) even though I specifically re-set the pop-up blocker not to do so. It doesn't block the 'edit an avatar' thing, but i don't want that... i want the avatar I created like i created those for James. Pantser and Anthony.

I can draw one for you if you like; especially if can show me how to make the blasted pop-up blocker quit blocking my attempt to install my own. I know how it is supposed to work when you go to edit the profile, but I cannot get anywhere with it.
