HOWTO: Get/Change my avatar!?
 

1> Click on the PROFILE button in the navigation bar.
2> Click on "Edit Options"
3> Scroll down and click on "Change Avatar"

The rest is straight forward.

All the pics I try to down load come back as being to big. How do I check their size or change it?
Thanks,
Trevor

For the avatar the pic has to be 100x100 or smaller (I think). There is a lot of software that will resize pics for you. If it's a .gif file...you can go to www.gifworks.com and it can resize the pic for you.

Thanks man.

thanx very much :D

what if it's a jpeg file?? i don't know how to edit the photos very well and i don't think the photoshop software i have will resize.
not sure

bailey PM me with the pic and ill resize it for you.

If its jpeg file... just go to Start button.. then click on All Programs.. then click on Accessories.. and open Paint.... ones youre in paint open youre pic.. then choose Image.. and press on Stretch/Skew (Ctrl+W).. and in Stretch change the persentage from 100% to 40% and press ok.. save it some where and then upload it into youre page or where ever.

thanks everyone. CDN. If I can't change it with paint I'll pm you with the pic. Thanks again!!

alright, I went to Change Options and there is no option for changing the avatar.

sadly the custom avatar option was taken away when the site was redone:( i would like to see them enable it again.

Not sure why they would have been taken away, but now they are back. If you encounter any problems uploading your avatar or any other problem on the website, please send me a PM.
