How to add an avatar image to your forum profile - labradors - 09-10-2007 It has come to my attention that a few people are not quite sure how to go about adding an "avatar" (the little picture that appears under the user's name to the left of a forum message) to your account. Here are some instructions on how to do this. Don't be alarmed at the number of steps - I have deliberately broken things down in a way that I hope will minimise any confusion.

Re: How to add an avatar image to your forum profile - Mare749 - 09-10-2007 Thanks for the instructions, Lab. I know I'm going to forget how I did it the first time, so this will be handy reference for when I want to change it. Maryann Re: How to add an avatar image to your forum profile - luvnit - 09-10-2007 I tried it! I think it worked. The photo shows in my profile. Thanks.

Re: How to add an avatar image to your forum profile - HomeCulinarian - 09-10-2007 Thanx - that helped. I was looking on line at the many, many animated avatars out there inspired by Twilightkitten's cute cat & spider. Couldn't figure it out, but I was able to post a picture just fine. Guess I just need to stay in the slow lane for now! Re: How to add an avatar image to your forum profi - labradors - 09-11-2007 Animated avatars are images just as much as any other avatars. Generally, there are two types: SWF and GIF. This forum does not allow SWF files as avatars, so the only animated avatars you could use would be GIFs, but they're the most common, anyway. Otherwise, there is no difference in the instructions. Just host the picture on ImageShack, put the URL that ImageShack gives you into the avatar spot of your forum profile, and you're all set. As an example, I have changed my avatar to an animated GIF file.

Cis Re: How to add an avatar image to your forum profi - farnfam - 10-27-2007 oops, guess I figured it out after all, thanks anyway labs |
