What option do you use to make the picture by your name come up on post. I know that the picture probaly has to be 100PixBy100pix. Just wondering where you went to enter the image address. Appreciate any info

I was wondering about this too. I tried the "edit avatar" option, but it won't let me do anything. The "Do Not Use an Avatar" option is selected and it won't let me change it. Any ideas? :confused:

I think you have to go to edit profile picture and upload the pic there then maybe go to the thing ed did. I have not done it but just had a look and looks right.
The link he said has no address option so you must have to upload it somewhere else I think. Someone try the "edit profile picture" link in the cp section and let us know.
Tube4slabs ....... I went into "user cp" - then clicked on "edit avatar" - then clicked the "use custom avatar" circle (which removes the "do not use avatar" choice) - then clicked on "browse" button (next to the "upload" blank) ...... that automatically brings up my computer's "my documents" window, which is where I have my pics stored. I click on the pic I want, and the file name of that pic comes up in the "file name" blank ... then I click on the "down" button at the end of that blank (the upsidedown black triangle) and choose "pictures gif jpg" - then click the "open" button ... that brings the picture file into the "upload an avatar from your computer" blank - then I click "save changes" and a picture appears in the top left corner of the Edit Avatar box (right under the words - Your Current Avatar) ......... then all my posts start showing up with the pic as an Avatar.
But - NOTE - I joined "Photobucket" and scanned and downloaded my pics on there ... previous attempts at getting them to post, as a Avatar or Profile Picture, failed --- too big (too many pixels)....so I downloaded a freeware program called Easy Thumbnails. I used it to downsize my pic to the 80x80 pixel size of the avatar requirements. It did a pretty good job - I don't think the quality of the picture is hurt any, by the size reduction. Here's the picture in "normal" size .........[IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...attsBartoo.jpg[/IMG]
My pictures on Photobucket's site, are all "normal size" .... those same pics were put into my "My Documents" folder, on my computer - so now I have them in two places. The Easy Thumbnail program was used to make the pics in my "documents" folder - all thumbnail size!! So now, if I want to post a thumbnail pic or change my Avatar ... I go to "My Documents" .... and if I want to post a full (normal) sized pic, I can open Photobucket and post them from there (using the "postcard" icon just above the text window area - that I'm typing in now).
Is that confusing enough for ya'll ?? :D ... Seriously though - I just fumbled thru it, until I got it to work. I think I told you everything I did to get an Avatar picture ....... try it and see, and if you still have trouble - let us know ... surely someone else can guide you thru the process better than I can ....LOL!! .......luck2ya ............cp :cool:
I think that most of us do not have the "Edit Avatar" function available. Looking at the ones that have them and the ones that don't, I think it may have something to do with your number of post. When you reach a certain # maybe you get to have an avatar. Crappiepappy and Labill both have a higher # of post than those of us that cannot load an avatar.
I don't really know if this is correct because I am nearly computer illiterate, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once. :D
Nope-i Just Tried It,it Wouldnt Do Anything When I Pushed The Edit Button.maybe Ez1 Is Right? Good Fishin To Ya!!dennis
I agree too, must be # of post or something. When I click on the button it wont disappear either.
