Does uploading avatars work yet?

Yes it works, thats why I have mine Go into user profile ----> avatars ----> upload

Heres mine. dratted small space allowed. I have many good pics but none that can be cut that small. (Tengu rummages around for scrapbook and scissors...)

*giggles* send em me and I'll resize em if you like

how about you up the avatar image size allowed? 90x90 is damned small dontcha thinK? 150x150 sounds better javascript:smilie('')

ok ok *fiddles*

Aha, maybe I was being caught out by the size limit then, since I've got my avatar to upload again now.

Ok, let me test mine. Hello, Joe. you there?

Hes gone down the pub how do I transfer images from my files?

I'm not quite sure what you mean Tengu?

put picture at the bottom of my post also get a pet not to mention be informed by email of new posts....

The picture comes from the "attachment" thing under the place where you type your message. The pet comes from "user CP" - > edit profile.

Almost all of these are found within the user control panel or "user cp" for short. I would suggest that all of you take some time in the profile section to see all the options avialable to you. As for the images appearing in threads all attached images will automatically appear in the thread. However you have to use the full reply function to gain attachments, the quickreply doesn't have this option.

I probably need a tutorial here. Sheesh. I have the image I want. 150*150 pixels is a good size. That gives me a 72000 byte piccy. Fiddled around trying to find a way to preserve size while decreasing bytes. Couldn't manage it. I ended up with an image about the size of half a chicklett and so pixilated it couldn't be decypered. Alright you children who are either smarter n' me, dun educated yourselves, or were raised on HTML from the age of 2....can you gimme a suggestion or a clue?

what are you trying to do Buffy - reduce a piece of desktop wallpaper to avatar size? grin. you are probably starting with too large an image. 72K is a massive file (for avatar purposes) you'll wanna crop the important bit(s). what are you trying to work with?

Thats what I was afraid I'd have to do... I was just hoping there was another way to reduce that I just wasn't figuring out. Yeah, I knew the file had started out big...and I've already cropped the hell out of it. Probably if I download one of those cheepy avatar makers to fark around with....

You might find that the format of your picture is not suitable for instance a pcx, bmp, png. Try and convert (save as) a gif or jpg if this is the case.

or you post it here and somebody makes you an avatar in a twitch of a lyon's tail. smiles winningly and set up your damned RP character woman! i cant challenge you to a game of fisticuffs if the referee tells me you cant figure out where your arms are.

Here's my avatar. (Hope you figured out how to configure yours, Buffy. I'm of no technical use, sorry.) ^_^ I have a pet cow. Yay!

That was the first thing I did.

Send it to me I'll sort it out for you and I'll make sure you have an avatar worthy of thy name!

Hmmm...I don't know if I'd trust him if I were you Buffy. Looks shifty to me.

ssshhh quiet you..

See? See! He's planning something! Aaaahhhh!!!! Don't do it Buffy! Nnnnoooooooooo!!!!!!

Buffy runs in terror to hide behind Lyon.....and passes her avatar behind her back to her....

RUN LYON!!!! Get it away! I'll shoot him!

hi, I guess Joe has gone to the bar. I don't know how to retrieve him. Cep. you think you could retrieve him from the old forum. he's smiling while stroking his chin. I'd greatly appreceiate it as I had no way of downloading him and he isn't in the download file. thank you.

I am a genius. Go to the Portal of this page, and under the menu, click on "Old Forum Archive". Search for your Username under "Memberlist" (or something like that). When you find your name, click on it. A page will come up, and it will have your avatar shown. Save it to your computer and then come back to the new forums. Click on "User CP." Under "Avatar," you can upload the avatar from your computer to the messageboard by selecting it from whatever folder you put it in. Hope this helps. (Psst. Neil Condor, here is your profile and avatar. Elvin

What he said

I was getting sick of that car anyway....

It happens. I just happened to stumble across this one when going to Cep's World (you need a theme song, Cep), and I fell in love with it. I've never seen Azumanga, but the cat looks awesome.

A theme song? hmm...erm......

It's a fun and shiny place, in Cep's world! Where no one saves face, in Cep's world! You can express your mind, in Cep's world, Share all that you find, in Cep's world! et cetera

I think Elvins had one too many and turned berty.

You don't like your new theme song?

Oh I didn't say that

Oh. Ok. Good. Too bad I can't make up a melody to go along. Just imagine something...peppy or something, I don't know. Look! Cep the pirate smiley-face: <--- Arrr! He's a pirate!

*grin* Yes my very own incarnation

Ducky. Now how do I save it?

Well...if you use Windows, right-click the image and then select "save picture as." A window will pop up from which you can select a folder to save the picture to. I personally prefer to use the "My Documents" folder. Then when you come back to these forums, go over to "User CP" up at the top. There will be a list of things, one of which will be "Avatar." Beside "Use Custom Avatar?" click "yes" and then beside "Upload avatar" click "Browse." A window will pop up pretty much exactly like the "save picture as" window. Select the folder you saved the picture to and then select the picture. Then click "open" on the window. Be sure to then click "submit" at the bottom of the page. You should then have the avatar. If this doesn't work and you get desperate, e-mail or pm me your user name and password and I'll log on and do it for you. ^_^ I promise I won't spam your account. Anyways, hope that helped. Elvin
