Using gravatar might be a good idea

Using Gravatar might be a good idea, since we don't need to bother uploading avatar everytime we sign up for new forum, a new web2.0 service that pops up next day, or even our email. Only if each of these services support gravatar. Or else we will end up users asking: Why I should signup for another service just to display my avatar (Profile Icon).

So the ultimate solution is: We support both! you can upload your own or let gravatar handles your avatar.

Change your profile picture now. When the default is a little wonderful black and white piece of 4-Leaf Clovers (Shamrocks), you can freely upload yours.

 

Default Profile Icon

Shakk.Us currently supports threemost famous types of image format used widely on the internet – .gif, .jpg and .png.

Just go to profile->modify->look for the area with three images with different size (large, medium and small).

Profile View

Browse and upload

Click browse and choose your image. It will be uploaded and resized automatically to three standard size used on Shakk.Us (Profile page – 80×80, submission – 30×30, and comment area – 48×48). Click 'Save' if you are satisfy with your profile image.

Have fun with this new feature.
