Just a query re adding avatars, can you only add one via photobucket/similar? or can you add from PC?

thanks

I think it's URL linked only, I can't find an upload option.

[Chrissie]

I've been meaning to test out a way of uploading a pic via the attachment facility & then see if it can be linked to use as an avatar.

[Chrissie]

Yes that works

So, click on reply bottom right of every thread. click on "browse" next to the attachment box (just above the reply box that comes up).

Choose the pic from your PC that you want as an avatar & post your reply.

Next, right click on the posted attachment & choose "view image" The image will come up on it's own on a new page. C&P the link in your browser of that page into your profile avatar option.

Lol, hope that makes sense

Pic attached

2nd attempt!!!!

[Chrissie]

Keep trying Fiona,

Off to change my avatar back to what it was

[Chrissie]

Oh wow Fiona, she (?) is gorgeous

It's going to be too big as an avatar though. Can you reduce the size & then attach it again? If not, I'll do it for you.

Lol, you have done it just needs a width/height adjustment on your profile

Beautiful doggeeeeeeeeeeee - does that mean we have pics to come in the Pet Pics thread?

Get posting, Fi (please)

I get it, Chrissie. Using the All About to host the avatar, instead of Photobucket or Tinypic. Pure genius, Chrissie, pure genius.

Well I'm trying but it's not playing

[deesigner]

Where's the avatar option? Dumb old me can't find it

[Chrissie]

Dee click on your profile (either at top of every page or just click on your id next to everyone of your posts. Then Click on modify profile & scroll down to the avatar section:)

Lol thanks Jerry, I think Liscab had already sussed it though as I'm sure I saw he had posted an attachment first to get his avatar?

[jerryrm]

Take the credit anyway, Chrissie.

[Chrissie]

Lol, thanks Jerry

Dee, I'm more than happy to add that pic as your avatar - unless you prefer to do so yourself?
