Melissa4167 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I thought maybe I needed a thread where we can just ask question on how to do things or having problems.. My question is, I want to make an avatar.. Now do I just find a pic that I want and maybe use paint to add txt or whatever and then put it in photobucket? then Paste the link here were it goes? I want to find a pic of the foth and then just put my name in it.. Will I be able to do that? Any help is welcomed and thanks for looking or helping
Yana Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 You just find a picture that you like and then save it to your hard drive then do all the adjustments you want to it, then save it to photobucket, then post the link here... Bad thing is, we will most likely lose avatars after BB starts, because we need the space they take up...
Melissa4167 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks Yana.. I know we lose them but it would be nice for when it's over or before it starts.. tired of having that X over there..lol
JEDI Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Just so you know, avatars were in use throughout last summer. The server Morty moved the board to just before Big Brother 10 started could handle it fine. So in all probability, we won't have any problems this year either and they would be left "on". To conserve bandwidth, Morty did disable avatar loading for all guests, so they don't see any. (In case any guests are puzzled by reading this, each member has a personal image which shows up under their name on the left of each post. Mine looks like this: But you can only see them if you are logged in to the boards.) For other "Help" questions, if you're too shy to ask, you can check to see if an answer can be found in "The Welcome Forum" or of course the "Help" feature.
DreamAngel Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 As far as I know due to the slowing of interest in Big Brother (I know, NO WAY) Morty isn't moving the board to another server this year. So we'll have to wait and see if we lose the avatars. It all depends on the traffic we encounter during the year.
a_starry_night Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 i just changed mine. i saved the picture to my computer and uploaded it under "My Controls" then "edit avatar settings." I didnt use photobucket and don't even know what that is, so its possible to do it without. if i were editing a photo (like adding a name) i think Paint would be easiest. at least that's what I use. just curious, anyone know why it hasn't switched to the new avatar? does it need pre-approval first by a mod? or did i do something wrong.
DreamAngel Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The file size has to be no larger than 50kb. It also has to be gif,jpg,jpeg,png file extension. We also noticed that profile information isn't saving for members. Only mods can edit for some reason. If the file you're trying to upload is the correct format and file size then it's probably the saving issue. EDIT: I've changed mine. And as long as it's 90x90 pixels and less than 50kb and the correct format it will update.
a_starry_night Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 it has it under "my controls" as my avatar, but when I post, it doesnt show up.... could that be a glitch? (it's 90 x 79 and 30 kb) btw- nice pic
DreamAngel Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I see your avatar. It's "UP"... Just press CTRL-F5 and it should appear for you too. What you are seeing right now is the cached version saved on your computer. Thanks.
DreamAngel Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 F5 is a regular refresh. Sometimes it does work some times it won't. But CTRL-F5 actually forces your browser to download a new copy of the website/images from the webserver. Bet they won't put anyone like Taylor in the BB house. We could only dream. (Taylor is my avatar.)
a_starry_night Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 well that worked! thanks so much dream. it was still my old avatar for some reason, even though i had restarted my computer, etc. i definitely couldn't have done that without your help, thanks.

Angelo Joe Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 The show NEVER goes much past my birthday if at all and my birthday is September 18th I'm gonna say it now, because I am terrible with dates. Happy Birthday, DreamAngel, and thank you so much for the time you've put in on the countdown thread! It's been awesome and a lot of fun to follow, as usual. Looking forward to these last couple of weeks (always the best!).
joyami Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 It should be soon, shouldn't it? I can't wait to see the tour of it.
