And now... avatars

[moose_hd]

Haha, I finally have a custom avatar! Thank you for enabling the option!

[oberon]

Well, this one I should be able to figure out... but there isn't any link for adding a custom avatar. Is it perchance "off" again?

[moderator]

Hey,

It happened to be off again... it was reset during the group migration, and should again be working.

[Brandye]

I still cannot set my own avatar. I can get to the page but there is no way to enter the URL.

[oberon]

Well, I finally got it... even though it was a bit difficult. Whew!

[PenguinWillie]

Think Ive done it now.....took some making it small enough tho.... LOL

[Brandye]

How in the world did you manage it? When I go to the control panel page all I see is opportunity to use premade avatars. I really wan to tuse the same one I have had for a few years and see no way to use that URL

[oberon]

Brandye,
What I did was got to "User CP", then "Edit avatar"... underneath the pre-done ones should be the link to to either link to a photosite or you can upload one from your computer... which is what I ended up doing because... as PW said... I had to resize mine for this board.

If there isn't a link under the standard ones, PM the Mod and ask if the function is off again.

Hope this helps.

[PenguinWillie]

Yes....this time when I checked where Oberon said....underneath the avatars was an option to use your own pic...2 boxes you could use to add an url or upload one from your own comp....

Good luck, its ashame to not have your pic on view !

Hey Brandye, (and others)

You are a special case... because you are currently our only other moderator / forum leader, you have special settings, and we neglected to update the avatar setting on your account.

Our continued apologies for the extra hassle you have experienced on this process, and we would like to thank you for your patience with us.

Thanks,

Mod
