Avitars

[nos68]

How does one create/use their own avitar? Can it be a gif or jpg pic? I did a search on them and didn't see anything on how to do this.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris;

I've always used jpg for avatars but I believe gifs will work as well as you can use gifs in the sig lines. The file has to be fairly small; I can't remember the size off of the top of my head but when you go to "edit options" and click on custom avatar it will give you the max size. I use pics that I have downloaded to my hard drive. Just click the browse button on the custom avatar screen until you find the one you want.

I hope that helps a little,

Alice

btw the one you're using isnt a jpeg

but you're right

jpeg or gif, they are requirements as to size and how large the file may be.

they've apparently abandond this option since January?

You need to have 100 posts and/or 30 days or something before you can have a custom avatar I think.

That could explain it then.... I was looking like crazy to try and find a custom button or something....
