I think the avatar idea is really cute, but there's not really enough for everyone, especially for people who want specifically female looking ones. It would be neat if you made it so that we could use our own pictures instead of just the ones the site provides. I'm not sure how this is done, but I've seen it on other message boards.

Hey Girlygirl,

That is a great idea, and I'm hoping the new version of this board has it implemented. We will be upgrading the board in about a month's time. If that functionallity isn't there, i will do my best to get it added.

Thanks!

Hey,

Avatars have been changed along with the whole board. Everyone is now able to make their own, though you may have to fix your current setting.

Thanks

Does anyone know how to actually change their avatar? Does it require a degree in computer science or is it easy?

I notice that the only one with a "personal avatar" is ItalStall, or is it just that no-one else can be bothered with it?

All you have to do is go to a site which has avatars. Say, www.badassbuddy.com I know it doesn't sound like an avatar site, but it is.

you then save the avatar on your comp.

The in your options settings on your profile, you have to browse for the avatar on your comp, then change it!! That's it.

But i'm not sure if the avatar sizes are the same. The ones on this site look a bit bigger.

Elf, unfortunately it's not that easy. I've used avatars on other boards and not had any problems. I can't get one to load here. I've tried linking from my C: drive and from an HTTP site and only get a broken graphic.

To make it easier for members to use their own avatar, there should be a utility to upload the avatar.

I didn't find this too difficult to do. For instance in my personal settings I simply copied &amp; pasted the link to the pic I wanted (which at that time happened to be on this site), so for example my link was ...

&quot;http://www.sexinfo101.com/eroticgall...a019.jpg&quot;

... and no I am not gay, my g/f checked it out for me ... lol.

It should work on a link to any site (type &quot;cartoon&quot; or something in Google), but sexinfo101 can't access your computer (unless your pc is a server), so a file sitting on your pc won't work as an avatar.


Oh, and here are the &quot;notes&quot; in your avatar information, read them carefully:

You may enter a URL to choose an avatar that is on your own website. The URL MUST begin with http://
You may enter the width and height of your avatar. Please note that any value over the maximum allowed size in pixels will be resized to the maximum size. Leaving them blank will resize the image to the maxiumum size.
(Maximum Width = 64 pixels | Maximum Height = 64 pixels)

The following file types are allowed:
.gif .jpeg .jpg .swf


Confused? ... hope this helped.

I tried it a couple ways thinking that the site would upload the .jpg, not just link to it. As you can see, it does link to other sites and handles animated avatars quite well also.
