How To Post Icons
- First you must catch the icon submission thread, which is posted on the IGN Icon Board. The time of when it is posted is random. It will either be posted by Warbington, TheJerkle, or another mod if they are asked to help.

- If you catch the thread you make a post. You can post a simple reply of "ph" (meaning "Place Holder"). This way you get in quickly and you can go back in and edit your icons in, giving yourself more time.

- Next you need to find an icon you want to select. I suggest one of mine, but that's me.

- Next you need to post the URL in the propor way. The URL to each icon is located in a box under the image. Highlight it and copy it using "ctrl" + "C" on your keyboard. Paste it using "ctrl" + "V". Put in the apropriate tags, those being [image= ]

Example:
[image=http://media.ign.com/boards/images/icons2/starwars_clonewarsyoda.gif]

- Then you post the Name and Category of the icon under the icon. To see the names and categories of my icons just move the cursor of the mouse on the image, it appears "Name / Category".


Example:


Name: GameBoy Player
Category: Consoles

 

What Makes An Icon
- Icons Must Be 80x80 pixels

- Non-animated icons must have a Transparent Background. This means that the background of the image will be what ever background it is posted on.

- Animated icons must at least be the board background color. The hexadecimal number is #B1B3BC. The RGB Value is 177,179,188

- Icons must be under 5k

- Icons must be ".gif" format. No ".jpg", ".bmp" or anything else.

- It's best if icons are not 'assy'. That means they don't have jaggy edges or stray pixels of color that shouldn't be there or are blurry & distorted.

- No personalized icons, unless you are a VIP, Mod or an Admin. Regular users do not get personalized icons on IGN.
