How to add an Avatar (Including ACOT Avi's)

[handerful]

I have been trying to put an ACOT Avi on as my Avatar and it doesn't seem to be working, I have followed the instructions posted but it's not changing. PLEASE Help!

I was having trouble over the weekend, too.


There have been some updates on the site, so it is now easier to go up to the top right corner and click on "my account". and update it under the "my bio" tab. You will still need the http address of the photo... Much easier.

I was able to add it to my signature line but not my avatar.

Try loading your pic in the gallery here (set it to private so only you can see it, click submit, then click "All Submissions" so you can find it), then right click the photo, go to properties, copy the URL address and paste into the right place under My Account, and see if that works. Good luck!

[lesmitch]

[MisasMom]

Guess I am in good company, my avatar wouldn't work either...

[cat1393]

I give up!
I don't remember how I put the pic in, in the first place.

I will always have the perpetual goofy pic for all to see...besides, it's my nature.

If I remember right you have to size it down to no more then 100 x 100.  I think it mighty mention that in the thread.

[Art_Teacher]

It can be no larger than 100 wide by 192 pixels high.  If it is, then you need to resize it in Paint or other photo software.
