avatar question?

Post by dexatron »

This is going to be a really stupid question I apologize for being a newbie...But How do I add a Avatar to my Profile?...I looked at my account and i see what's there for a picture...but I can't change it. Does anyone know why?

Thanks.

I think it needs to be from an image on the web

So you'd upload one to a free image host site if you have one on your hard drive.

Just right-click mine, select view image or properties or whatever makes sense in your browser, and check out its file size and pixel dimensions, that's basically what it needs to be....more or less. The instructions should be on the "user control panel" @ top right, then "edit profile" page.

PS I think its 125 x 100 pixels max.

:cool: Photobucket is a good place to store your pix. Free ... unless you plan on uploading full-length feature films.
