Upload Feature - Avatars & images

There have been alot of threads asking how to use the ATS upload feature for member's avatars and/or images in their posts. Hopefully this will answer any questions you might have about how this feature works.

First, you must save the image to a file on your pc. It must be one of the following file types - JPG, GIF, TXT, or PDF and must not exceed 100 kilobytes.


Click on the "upload" option from the ATS toolbar near the top of the page and your upload box will pop-up in a new window. Click on browse, select your image from your pc files, then click upload. You will then see your file in your upload box, it should look something like this: (atsXXX_filename.ext) with XXX being the upload number assigned to the file.

Go to your personal profile and in the "avatar" box type in "http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/uploads/filename" without the quotation marks and filename being atsXXX_filename.ext

*Avatars have a maximum dimension of 160 pixels wide, by 320 pixels tall.

In your post type , again without the quotation marks.

That was good.

It ought to go up officially in the Help/FAQ section, because otherwise it is going to get lost like all other threads containing altruistic posts trying to answer this question.
