First, we need to get your background set as your "avatar". On page 1 of this thread, Agarta was kind enough to make this post for us to use for posterity:

The following are step by step directions on how to set your new Avatar, Background, and/or Signature image. There are glitches that occur if some things are done out of order and you have not had an Avatar set already.

Avatar and Background

1. Between these lines is a transparent Avatar. If you are using a new background, highlight it and click to save to your computer.

 





 

or copy the following code: h ttp://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/ut4e7bd94d.gif

2. On the top Navigation bar of your page click the "Tools" tab found here(note: if you are using the Clear Avatar code scroll down to the Avatar section and paste it into the slot, remove the space between the h and tt and click submit.




3. Then click the "ATS uploads" tab found here




4. Upload the new or clear Avatar and/or Background by clicking this button




5. If you do not have an Avatar already in place you MUST put the Clear Avatar in first or the background will default to the Avatar section and you will have to start over. Assuming you are putting in the Avatar, find it in your uploads and click it.



6. This will take you to its dedicated page. Click "Avatar"




7. This will take you back to your "Tools" page. Scroll down to find the Avatar section and click "Submit"




8. Next return to your "ATS uploads" page and click your new Background




9. This will take you to its dedicated page. Click "Profile Background"




10. you will be taken to the tools page again. Scroll down to the "Your Background Image" section and click "Submit"

Your new background is now in place. Please note that it will not show on your profile page, as only Avatars do, however you will find it on your posts.

Setting your Signature Image

There is a glitch in the images signature section and it will not set your signature image. Instead, upload it using the directions above. Click it and you will go to its dedicated page. Copy the "Use in Post" link (pictured above) and return to your tools page manually. Past the code into your "Signature" area and click submit. If you wish to have your Signature Image centered do not use the "Use in Post" code. Instead scroll down to the "External full URL link" code and copy that one(also pictured above) and paste it into your "Signature" area on your tools page. Then add to the beginning [astimg] and [/atsimg] to the end and then click "Submit". If you wish to make the image a link, treat it like a "Hot Link" (See example in the image below)

If you have any problems just post your question and one of the other members can help you through it.

Enjoy your new Avatar/Background/Signature image and thank you for stopping by.

P.S. Please spread the word we love making new and imaginative images.

I should be off and on today to help you through this if need be. Or someone else who comes along first (and is better at walking someone through it).

I will try making it as a font as soon as possible, i see it as a nice challenge

.

You create an ats font that i can use in photoshop, and you will be hailed the hero of Avatar Creations (at least by me).

Thanks Agarta and Texan!

Do you have a basic idea of what you want?
Do you want it Masculine, Feminine, or Neutral in nature?
Do you have a color base you would like it to be?
Are you looking for an Avatar, Background, Signature or combinations of them?
Are you looking for an animated Avatar or Signature?(animated backgrounds are not allowed)

Well i haven't got an image. I was just thinking someone could surprise me with one. Maybe something ancient or powerfull. Yes masculine would be good. Not bothered with the colour. An avatar/ background combo would be good, non animated. Im not to fussy im sure it will be good.

Just messing.... available to anyone it speaks to. :Up:

I have been working on the creation of the font for some time now. It was originally only the letters they needed to use that were created. I have all the lower case letters done(created, sized and spacing set), and am about half done creating the Caps. Because we only have A,T,S, as something to go by, the others are up for artistic creation so I would like to see what you come up with in those regards. I will post mine when done and we can decide which version of each letter fits best and use that one. Then we can go through the process of actually making it an installable font(not difficult, but time consuming). Up until now it has just been something I have been doing on my own, but now that there is a request, I will make it the priority of the day.

Here's a couple of random backgrounds I have in my uploads.





These are only size modified if you want some customization let me know. Otherwise those are free for the taking.

. The top one looks good. What do i need to do now. Many thanks to you

That is exactly what your going to want to do to set it as a "Profile Background". Follow these simple instructions and you'll be fine.

If any problems arise you can ask anyone of us and we can help.
