kywildcat Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 You mean an avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'm not sure what an avatar is... The neat little blue box with eyes that you have below your username... One of those... Ohh...it's Dory... Sorry...my computer froze it and it looked like a blue box with eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosieBrat Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 At the very top of the forum pages, click on "profile" and scroll down until you see the avatar section. You can add an avatar there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adoremykids Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 You can also make your own picture instead of using the pre-made ones, but that is a lot more involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I tried to get one off of google...but I don't know if it worked...This is me testing it...P.S. Adore, I love yours! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I don't know why it didn't work...I saved one from google...went to the avatar part of the profile, and clicked browse, and then double clicked the link, and hit submit...what did I do wrong?

Guest AlexHinn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 You have to be sure its under 80X80 pixels and 14 Kb I think.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I figured out that that was the problem...is there any way to make it smaller??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adoremykids Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks for the compliment. I like my avatar too. When I made it yesterday, my kids were rofl. My husband said I was mean, even though he probably likes Eric less than I do. lolYou can make your avatar smaller in any draw program on your computer, I think. I did it in my regular Paint program. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tums Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Here's the problem - when I try to change my avatar, my old avatar comes up, in different dimensions instead of the new picture from my computer. I've checked the following: 1. size - it's only 4 kbs 2. extension name - it's ok: .jpg 3. dimensions - should be fine 4. I've removed my old avatar a ton of times, but when i load my new one, my old one just keeps returning as my new avatar. I've checked Help and old posts, but no luck! Any help?

beagle Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I don't know if I am in the right place but can anyone help me on how to add a photo? If I am in the wrong place, please direct me in the right direction. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Got to My Controls at the top right of you screen. This takes you to Your Control Center. At the left you will see the Menu. Under Personal Profile, click on Edit Avatar Settings. This will take you to your Control Panel. You can choose pictures from the Base Gallery (click the arrow and choose a gallery) or click the Browse button to select a file you have on your computer. Click Update Avatar and you should be done. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB and 90 x 90. The following file types are allowed: gif,jpg,jpeg,png. If you are uploading an animated file and it is the wrong size, the board will resize it. BUT it will also stop it from being animated. You can edit gif files HERE or PM me for help. Hope that helps.

beagle Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I finally got a chance to come back on this and I uploaded the photo and it worked. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 HOW do you get your avatar to be animated?? I think I've tried everything. Guess I just don't have that "something" to make them work!! Any hints..ideas..offers of help...would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 You need to find an animated one (gif file). One place to look is http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q= The board size limit is Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB and 90 x 90. The following file types are allowed: gif,jpg,jpeg,png Then if it's too big it has to be re-size. The board does it and in doing so stops if from being animated and generally makes it look stretched. If you have one that is animated, you can email it to me jem@mortystv.com and I can try and re-size it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I got it now Jem...Thanks... NOW...If you won't mind emailing me back and telling me just HOW you resized it, I'll be happy!! Mmmmmmm...You can put your bunny back up now...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
