AVATARS

[tonyjh]

Can someone explain to me how to get an avatar to appear beneath my posts. I have downloaded a few different ones from the net, made sure they are within the size limits etc but when i try to upload them through profiles i get a page of error messages and then nothing.

Hi Linda

Unfortunately I'm none the wiser, I think there was too much beer involved in that thread and no answers to the problem. I now realise though that the avatar should appear under your name on the left hand side of the page where it states if you are an egg etc.

If thats correct how did you get your oblong picture with your name etched in it to appear under your post? :?

Just when you think youre getting good with computers someone creates something new to baffle us!! :? :?

TT made them for us PM him you never know he might make you one :)

[tonyjh]

Thanks Peter

I'll persevere a bit longer but no doubt in the end I'll do what you suggest. :)

I'm not very computer literate, but as you said the avitar is under your name, to get a picture like our oblong ones they are signatures, think there's a button for that in your 'profile' above.

You probably knew this anyway!!! lol :roll: :(

[tonyjh]

Hi
Thanks for the tip but I can't find a button for signatures. what i've been trying to do is copy and paste but when i try to paste the command is faded out and nothing happens.

Perseverance. that's a good word :? :?

[Henry-flash]

There isn'y a button for signatures theres a box in your profile area where you enter it. Looks like you managed it I see a signature after your name.

hi tony

the avatar problem affects some and not others :?

i have just looked at my own profile and in the box to the right of where it says signature is a link to photobucket where my signature is stored

i did not do any of this

TT made it for me and pm it to me

becks /playgirl got into my membership and moved my signature from my inbox into her photobucket then she uploaded it into my profile for me

then she gave me back my own membership

i just had to trust her while she was in here

bet she read all my inbox private mail :lol: :lol: :lol:

soz becks you know i luv ya

Hi :)

Peter, I was okay typing in my name and selecting a smilie etc it's just when i try to copy and paste a picture nothing happens. Not sure why i want to really, i guess i'm so impressed with everyone elses i wants one of me own. 8)

Linda, from what you say i wonder if i have to provide a link to the picture rather than trying to copy and paste it ?

Thanks anyway guys (I remember the days before computers :lol: )

[aprillinda]

hi tony

yes it would be worth a try typing in a link

bring back old fashioned things like pens and paper

and tracing paper loo roll rather than cut and paste :lol: :lol:

linda

ahh well if you want to put a picture in your sig you will have to first upload it to photobucket and then copy and paste the img link

[tonyjh]
