Personal Avatars??

I have uploaded a personal photo on my profile but do not see how I can make it my avator also? I researched the FAQ page and can't seem to locate instructions. Can someone please advise?

Thanks

Look in the same area that you uploaded your Profile. You will see that there is an area for Avatar.


Moving thread to the Computer help forum.

BigFrank thanks for the response, but I don't see where it gives me the option to upload my own avator. I'm going to the "Edit Avator" tab . . . is there somewhere else I should be going?

Thats it click on it and then go to the next page to upload it.

Maybe you don't have the option because you only have 6 posts?

I had something similar happen to me a while back due to a programming glitch. The option to load my own avatar was just not there and it was hard to get that across to people advising me.

No thats not it. She must have been doing something wrong. Since she had the picture in her profile I took care of it for her. It might have been causing her trouble because it was the wrong format. I had to change it to JPEG for it to work.

Lord help me . . . or perhaps it just takes BigFrank!! Thank you for taking care of it for me. When I just opened the thread and saw my pic there, I was like "WOW how did that happen??" As I read through the various posts, I was like "OH OK, that's why" (about the low # of posts) . . . until I got to the one that BigFrank said he took care of it. Darn . . . I thought that pic was a .jpg file. That is weird!!

Thanks again for fixing it for me!

I guess I must be going blind because I can't see any option to upload my avatar file on the 'edit avatar' page. Can someone help? TIA

Click on this Edit Avatar, and take a look at the bottom of the screen...

[fnewman Member Find all posts View Profile Close fnewman]

Have done that and looked all over that screen but it appears that my only choices are no avatar or the standard one. I am familiar with what the screen should look like from other BBS but don't see the same here. Is there a minimum number of posts required?

[kapish Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close kapish]

Frank, when you click on the avatar link, do you see the following screen?



If that doesn't work, it may have something to do with the contribution to site (post-wise -or- money-wise) ... see this

[Guest Close Quarterbore]

I do not believe they have enough posts to use a custom avatar yet...

I think they need to be "Posting Member" status...

A few more posts, and you will discover there is more here that you never got to see!
