How to upload Custom smilies.

You must have an enhanced member account to use this function.

Step one: Find your picture or graphic.

First locate your pic or graphic, whether on the web or from your own art files. If it is on the web, you need to download it to your own computer. You can do that by right click and save picture. Remember the location you save it to, you will need to navigate there later.

Step Two: Determine that your pic or graphic is ready to upload.

Your picture or graphic must be in .bmp .jpg .png or .gif format and the size less than 200k and 640x480. You can see this in the properties if you right click or lay your cursor over the file in your computer.
If the pic or graphic is within the size limits and is in the proper format you are ready to upload it to GLP, if it is not, you can use any picture software to re-size it or re-format it.

Step Three: Upload to GLP

Click on the Custom Smilies link in the upper left "Welcome" area of your screen. Then click the "Browse" button. A navigation window will pop up showing your own computer's folders, navigate to where you have the pic or graphic stored from step one and select the one you wish to upload. The upload screen will display the path to your file.

Step four: Name your custom Smilie.

Choose a name for your smilie and type it in the box provided for "Short name". Maximum 10 letters or numbers, spaces included. Make it unique as earlier names prevail, you will be prompted to choose an alternative if your selected name is a duplicate.

Step Five: Upload your smilie.

Hit the upload smilie button. It you were successful you will see:
Your smilie has been successfully uploaded. Please wait for a moderator to approve it!
It now goes for approval and as long it isn't something that should not be posted here, it will be approved.

You will see your new custom smilie at the bottom of your post box and you can add it to any post just like a regular smilie by clicking on it.
