How to select an Avatar from the Internet
1. Find an image on the internet and double check that it is not copyrighted. If it is, you must put the name of the copyright owner and the date of the copyright into your Signature box or you will get a demand for money or the threat of a lawsuit! 2. Hold down on the image and a menu should pop up. Select open image in new tab. Go to the new tab and highlight the web address, press copy. 3. Go into your profile on here, go to edit profile. 4. Then instead of choosing upload, choose link. In the box that pops up, hold down on the space where the web address goes and another menu should pop up, just choose paste.
