I think you can upload a custom avatar, although I haven't looked at how to do it yet.

That's what I'm wondering, too. I didn't find an option to do that yet and the FAQ says:

Can I
upload my own photos to use as my website avatar?

No, this is not
permitted.

Although strictly speaking the avatars of Ben and FP! are not "photos" (I hope ).

No I've looked, and I don't see how to immediately do it.  You can click change photo, but you get stuck with the usual avatars from select games (including NWN).  However I don't see my old avatars, so I'd like to upload one.

Heya all Nice to see NWN forums to be continued on BSN.

I think I know the theory. I just don't know the exact step to do so.

For any forum users with custom portraits, if you check their in-game character, you will find that they have a character whose portraits photo is the custom portrait. I suspect they do it with steps similar to the following:

- Create a DA character in game and create a save file.
- Inside "Documents\\Bioware\\Dragon Age\\character\\<your_char>\\save_1" (if it is the first save of this character) which will have four files inside.
- Replace the portrait PNG file with the custom portaits.
- Open DA, load the save of that character. Make another manual save again to trigger character files upload onto BSN.
- Wait for the character (include the custom portraits) to be uploaded onto BSN.
- The custom portrait will be availabe in the "Change Profile Photo" page.

Thanks Web. Let's make this forum even better than the last!

Just checking in to say hello to all. Hope there's a way to change skins, either I am going blind or the text and names are somewhat difficult to see . . .

That kinda clobbers those of us who are strictly NwN, and have no intention of running DA and the likes... stinky!  If indeed, that's the only way to have custom avatars...(not that I mind Aribeth, mind you...)

Hello to all you!  It's great to see that the community is still active and populating these new boards - I myself am a longtime lurker and only-twice poster, so I never really contributed anything to the forums, except perhaps emotional support!  In any case, it's great to see many of the big names from the other boards - this will be a wonderfully fresh start, indeed!

Yeah think you're right, I just played fora couple hours trying to get my avatar to upload again since it went all buggy. Seems fine, and seems like you can replace the 2d avatar portrait which is also used to represent your personna.

-> Profile / Edit Profile Information / Site Theme

There's only one theme that has a slightly larger font though, the others just change the background and I believe colors always stay the same. Probably not really what you're looking for...

Folks, if more and more of us NWNers become friends, our status updates and posting will appear on the home page when you return to the site. Eventually, if you have enough NWN friends compared to other games on the social site, your home page will all be NWN activity.

Stick together, form the community.

Also, you don't need DA for custom portraits, just use the DA Character Creator that Bioware released before the game came out and follow Starlight's suggestion.

FP!

Thank you very much, Fester Pot and Starlight!  I remember reading something about the DA Character Creator a while back, but having no interest in it or the game that followed, the thought strayed from my mind...
This is what I've always cherished about the NwN community, both on the forums and the Vault - someone is always willing to lend a helping post!  I've never "met" a friendlier group of folks anywhere!

Thanks again!

[WebShaman]

^ no doubt! Amen!

[Jez_fr]

Hi all. There are several cool things here after all (project and all). One of them is no googles ads (yet) I can see and that's a relief!

Please Bioware keep it Bioware (or very close), thanks!

[CrazyDruid2010]

I actually like the new forums. I have spent many years on old forums too. But things change. At least they are still supporting their vet. and new players hehe. Thank Bioware/EA

Oh, so this is where the party is?! Good going, Webby. Okay folks, here's a pint on me!

Excellent! That worked like a mass charm! I'm feeling better about this place already.

Character Creator to upload custom image?  I checked it out.  Looks like it would work...if I felt like installing hundreds of megs of a single program that doesn't really do much just to personalize a forum image. *sigh*

Any chance these boards can be altered to make uploading one's own image easier and not dependent on installing an outdated pre-release utility for a game I'll likely never purchase?  I'd even take a short delay for the image to be "approved" by a moderator.

Great find, only it doesn't work for Mac users such as... a guy I know very well...

Hello everyone!



*Throwing a few scatter cushions around the new place*



I think it's going to be good here

[KooKoo88]

Fester Pot, do you get to keep your avatar to yourself this time?!!
*sits on one of Shia's cushions*
I want you all to know that I am going to be bringing some sanity to these normally crazy forums . . . just as soon as I find some.  My emo bunnies are helping me search, aren't you emo bunnies?  Hmm? . . . blurgle shloo?  okay.  thanks.

Good Gaming.

[B_Harrison]

Nice to see you all here!

[olivier leroux]

Welcome, kookoo! I'm glad you're still around.

A word of advice: You should try to stay out of SHO-VA's sight though because when I tried to use your avatar I was greeted as follows:

Oliver, the new portrait looks awful, I can handle the move here and the
killing of the old forums, but I do not think I can take looking at
that...

I think it fits the emo bunny theme very well though.
