Barb N Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 ;) Hello ...just wondering if there is a glitch today with editing avatars? I like to change mine every day but couldn't today. When I browsed my photos and clicked update, it cleared the field :o Any help would be appreciated for this avatar deprived mini nut LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaN Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi Barb. I've had the same problem with the avatars, and finally had to settle on a picture of Spidey. ;) I really wanted to add a pic of one of my houses, but I think the pixels have to be thumbnail size. I'm still trying to figure it out--any help for some lost sockees??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Man Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems changing your avatar. I just checked and their are a few restrictions that may be causing you trouble: Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB The following file types are allowed: gif, jpg, jpeg and png The maximum avatar dimensions are 100 x 100 pixels, but I believe the forum will re-size the image if the preceding two requirements are met. I just changed mine by selecting one from the gallery and then replaced it with an upload without any problems. Are you trying to upload a new one or choice from the gallery? I happen to like the avatars. I thing they add a lot of personality to the post. Please follow up if any of this helped or if you are still having problems. Thanks!

Missymew Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 P.S. Here is a pic of my kitty trying to help me....lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aren't our kitties helpful when we're at our keyboards. Mine (Trinity) loves to roll all over the keyboard! I'm trying to train her to lay on a blanket beside the keyboard. It seems to be working. She loves having something that's special to sit on.

grammapux Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I just created an Avatar and wanna see how it looks on here. Got back to mining a few days ago. Nothing like the holidays to throw you off track!!! Feels good to be back. I'm working on the Fairfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi, Lita, cute avatar. I eventually want to bash two fairfields together, so I look forward to seeing your pictures ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Lita, I can't wait to see pictures of your Fairfield! I love that house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Man Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 along with the probs you are having with your avatar I also am having probs with adding a personal photo. It says that the group leaders havent alowed me to. Wen P.S. Here is a pic of my kitty trying to help me....lol Well I often wondered why nobody has a picture in their profile... I had it shut off! Every one can now add a picture to their profile up to a max size of 200 x 200 pixels. To do so, go to My Controls and select Change Personal Photo under the Personal Profile area. If your picture is bigger than 200 x 200, it will be automatically scaled to size. I apologize for this oversight and my thanks to parisbabe for bringing it to our attention. Now lets see some pictures in those profiles! Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 My apologize for this oversight and my thanks to parisbabe for bringing it to our attention. Now lets see some pictures in those profiles! I don't know if we're going to be able to live up to the standards set by Brad Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I don't know if we're going to be able to live up to the standards set by Brad Pitt. rotflmbo! I also think Dean's picture makes him look like Brad Pitt! DH snagged a picture of me doing the prep cooking for Christmas dinner, so when that roll gets processed I guess that's the picture I'll use (there are just no pictures of me).
