I just can't find it. My UCP seems to be broken up across a couple areas, and when I try to use the main section (outside of a settings) I see what looks like a click to browse for image or drag and drop space but...it just doesn't do anything.
 
An avatar is one of the perks of a paid membership. Basic, Gold, Platinum etc...
 
I didn't know there was a paid membership option lol. Thanks for the info.

I may just get that at some point. $30 a year is a pretty inexpensive sub. I'll give it a while though as I am not sure how frequently I will be using these forums since I rediscovered them.
 
$10 a year for the Basic Membership. You get an avatar, a signature line, PMs (although very limited w/ 5), attachments (like pics from your computer), and you can post a trade thread in the Trade Forums.

With Gold ($30), you get 100 PMs, can sell in the Individual section, plus a bigger avatar.

You could go big and get a Platinum Membership. Although sometimes mutate into an Adamantium Membership or something else entirely, so be careful. I can't even tell what is included with it. ;)

Either way, welcome back and enjoy your stay!
 
That raises a few more questions:

1) Can signatures contain images (aside from emotes or ascii); If so What are the image file/format/size restrictions; And (again if so allowed) are they hosted through the forums (as in you upload them) or linked from an external image hosting service?

2) Are Avatars hosted through the forums or linked, and what are the restrictions on those?

3) Are the Number of PM's a hard cap per year (only that many total) or is it a soft cap (does it just raise the number of saved exchanges you can have before your inbox/outbox is full, necessitating deleting some older ones)?

4) Are there any additional fees on listing a buy/sell order?

5) Is there a cap on number of attachments; If so does this go up with higher levels of membership?
 
1 - Yes, you can have images. NO porn, nudity, advertising for profit websites (like retail stores that don't support Bladeforums directly), excessive gore, etc is not allowed. As far as size, we don't allow giant billboards, they look like crap and are unsightly. Just be reasonable, there is no set in stone size limit, but if the images are too big, we will let you know.

2 - I'm not 100% certain, but it can possibly be both. The information on size limits are located in the "Paid Subscription" link provided above.

3 - The number of PMs will vary. You can archive or delete them and start fresh with however many your membership allows. You can also keep a record of what you send, so that counts as 2 PMs.

4 - You need a Basic to trade, Gold/Platinum to sell whatever you've bought, Dealer to sell for profit repeatedly, and knifemaker/craftsmen to sell what you've made. Basic and registered users are not allowed to sell anything, but they can buy whatever they want or can afford. Details in the Exchange rules, required reading for any activity there.

5 - I recommend using photobucket or imgur for photos. The forum software may be hit or miss at times when maintenance or patching is underway. Spark (site owner and only administrator) does his best with some very tricky issues that can pop up from time to time, but for the most part, things run smoothly, except for when they don't/ We are here to help, so if you have any questions, please feel free to let us know and we will do our best to make your experience here as positive, safe from scammers, and pleasant as possible.
