Community Introductions
Before you go running off to join a discussion, stop by the Forums and introduce yourself - not only is it polite, it's a great way to make yourself known and begin participating in the community. Who knows, you might even get a welcome gift or two.

Avatars are little 100x100 pixel pictures that will show up on the left of every forum post you make, and above your login name while you visit the site. To use an avatar on your account, go to (Account > Settings > Edit Avatar). Here you can upload your own icon of choice. Signatures (the reoccuring bits of text below some user's posts) are one of the perks of being a Premium user, though some accounts do not correctly show up with the Premium title. Regardless, if someone has a signature you can rest assured they are in fact a Premium member.

Human Avatars
These virtual paper dolls can be dressed up in a variety of outfits, clothes and accessories, and will be shown beside your Active Pet. To dress up your HA, you need to put the clothing into your Wardrobe first. Do this from your Inventory (Account > Inventory) If human avatars don't interest you, the feature can be turned off under (Account > Settings > Edit Account > Disable Human Avatars). Your Active Pet will take up the full space on the left instead.
