I've finally got the jpeg I wanted to fit within the forum constraints, but can't seem to find the right button in "My Profile" to attach it to my posts. I'm still without avatar. Any suggestions ....



rogueusmc -> RE: Avatars (1/14/2005 11:19:13 PM)

The avatar section in your profile gas two options...pick one of theirs or upload. The text that says 'upload my picture' is a link to browse for your file on you computer...or a web address to a pic.



captskillet -> RE: Avatars (1/15/2005 3:06:01 AM)

Scout in My Profile go to the signature box and you have to use the pdg code to 'imbed' your image with your signature.



scout1 -> RE: Avatars (1/15/2005 5:32:33 PM)

This appears to be really simple, yet I still have not had any success with the avatar. I've uploaded it (after getting it the right size). Said it was uploaded, yet no avatar.
Thoughts ....

I hate simple things, they seem to be the most trouble.[;)]



rogueusmc -> RE: Avatars (1/15/2005 9:03:56 PM)

I reworked my avatar a few weeks ago and when I uploaded it, it was about a week before it actually changed. Maybe there's some approval thing?



Mr.Frag -> RE: Avatars (1/15/2005 9:11:05 PM)

Nope, no approval things.

See the check box? make sure you check it after uploading your avatar.

Try clearing your browser cache.

Wouldn't matter, we'd still see it even if he didn't [;)]



scout1 -> RE: Avatars (1/15/2005 9:41:12 PM)

The secret was checking the box AFTER uploading, not before.



wild_Willie2 -> RE: Avatars (1/15/2005 10:11:01 PM)

Gudgeon -> RE: Avatars (1/16/2005 12:24:47 AM)

Just wanted to see what an avatar is.

What exactly is going on Gud, we can't see what you get in the way of messages ... are you trying to upload one or link one from externally?



scout1 -> RE: Avatars (1/16/2005 1:27:43 AM)

Wild_Willie 2, you just need to change "Enter URL" to "Upload my picture". Remember the check box is done AFTER you upload the picture



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 2:35:19 AM)

Just to join in on this thread - when you hard-core hoped it might have gone to bed. I keep getting an error on dimension size - help appreciated - TA



rogueusmc -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 3:20:30 AM)

What are the dimensions of your pic?



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 3:50:06 AM)

don't know- small pic scan as JPEG at 300 dpi. Edited in photoshop and saved as Jpeg. How other do I tell?



rogueusmc -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 4:07:12 AM)

Standard web resolution is 72 dpi...300 is pushing the file size over and after the web projects your image at 72, the image is huge.

The limits are 145pixels x 145 pixels and file size limit of 750kb.



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:27:12 AM)

Right Thanks for the info - i will go at it again without charging the floodgates with all those extra bytes. Thanks for the help. Will post here to see if I got it right as it seems like the thread for it (if not then appologies)



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:41:24 AM)

Bet look's nasty or it's of the the wife brestfeeding!!!



rogueusmc -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:41:44 AM)

Lemme know if ya need any more help.



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:42:18 AM)

OK does it take time for the avatar?



rogueusmc -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:44:51 AM)

Click the checkbox AFTER you upload...looks like that's the kicker.



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:48:19 AM)

OK I scaned in the image at 72 dpi and after a little reduction in photoshop the board uploaded the image - but then nothing - sorry if I look a bit dense - long time filmaker -short time techician--Duh



watchtower -> RE: Avatars (1/18/2005 5:51:20 AM)

Thanks guy - what checkbox there is a bunch of em?[:)]
