That link will take you to the page where you can choose an Avatar from different categories that HCW has or choose the option of a custom avatar and upload it just like you did for your profile pic.

Thanks, repped ya. I must have just put my avatar pic in the wrong spot.

I might be missing it but is there a coupon avatar?

Like maybe one that says "I love coupons" or "Couponing Mom"??

HCW has a huge batch of smilies to pick from, but I didn't see a Coupon Angel. If anyone knows how to get one Please let me know. Thanks

Shopping avatars are few & far between on the net especially those that pertain to "couponing" & when made they do take quite a bit of time. If you have a graphic you like you can contact me by way of PM & I will see what I can do about adding the wording you want.

I have never heard of a "Coupon Angel". Can you be more specific?

I have a question...in some posts I see several smilies in what I think are the signature line (see them on every post), but When I change mine (as I sometimes do since you have so many great ones to pick from- Thank you!!) I always get a little note that no more than a certin number allowed...how does that work?

Hi,

The sig lines where you see more than a few smilies belong to mods, super mods & admin. Since we are staff members we have more space & # of smilies allowed to us. Not only do we have to have room for board business in our sig lines we also need room for our personal info. Just one of the perks as a staff member.

Hope this helps!

The pictures underneath your user name on the left hand side... is that the avatar, even if it isn't, my question is why CAN'T I see it (any of them) once I log in? I frequently read and then log in to reply or post, but the photos (like jane4girls giraffe that keeps falling over) disappear as soon as I login.

Is it SUPPOSED to be this way?

Hi,

Yes it is called an Avatar. My guess is that your "Options" my need to be changed.

Here are directions on how to do that:

1. Click on "User CP" which can be found at the left of any screen under the HCW Logo.
2. Then under "Settings & Options" click on "Edit Options"
3. A new window will pop up. Go down to the "Heading" that says "Thread Display Options". Make sure under "Visible Post Elements" you have all 3 options checked.

Hope this helps. If not post again or feel free to PM me.
