Posting Avatars

[4rum]

There are a few generic site avatars. If you choos one of them, just clik it.

If you want your own custom avatar, it will need to be sized and hosted on a pic host like photobucket so that you can copy and paste the URL code into the box in your profile. I have increased the size limit on avatars to 200X200 pixels. It must also conform to a 'file' size. So the pic may need to be changed from a bitmap to a jpeg. Bitmaps are high quailty, high resolution and the 'file' size is much larger than the same pixel size pic in a jpeg.

I'll be glad to help with this but if we get several, I'll just need the time to get to it. I forget stuff, so remind me if I don't get it done in a day or so.

I'll probably open a photobucket account just for this site. That way we can keep apples outta th' oranges.

Have fun, just keep looking around, ask questions and hopefully we'll be able to help each other till the dust settles.

Hi, How long do we have to be a member here to add a avatar here? I didn't even see where to add it. It's like I can't do nothing with my profile at all??
Plus, Not sure if this is the place, But maybe add a For Sale/Wanted area to on the group. I know this forum is new still & I might be speaking to soon on the matter,,lol
Thx's

Ok, I figured out the Avatar part, I just guess I'm going to have to go it & size the pic of me down to 100x100 like it say's?

[4rum]

Nope I increased the size to 200X200. You will need to host it on a pic host like photobucket or imageshack to get the url to put in the box.

I opened an account at photobucket today just for this site. If you don't have a free account with a pic host, email your avatar to the site's email and Soupy or I will size it and post it for you.

Ok I have a question on how and what one to use to add a pic to my profile.. I changed the size and uploaded it to my photo bucket .. and have tried several ways to upload it here with no success.. soooooo help me out guys maybe I am doing something wrong...I have tried the html code.. the Img code..and the thumbnail url thats on my photobucket.. thanks in advance

[4rum]

I'm not clear. Are you adding an avatar or trying to place a picture in a post?

If it's an avatar, once it's in photobucket, copy the 'direct' code and put it into your profile where it asks for a url. The pic will have to be sized. If it is not showing up, look up the page a little and you shouls see something about allowable size.

If your pic is a jpeg, it will usually accept up to 200X200, that's what I have it set at. If it's a bitmap, they are a larger FILE size (due to image resolution). If it is giving you trouble, email it to me and I'll use irfanview to change the file extension.

Happy to help any way I can, just let me know.

Ain't he smart ! That's why I let him stay around.


The way I done mine was .....Open Photobook... find the pic you want....Now open your Profile on Fishnmore click on Modify Profile....scroll down 'til ya find Avatar ... Now go back over to Photobook to your picture and find Direct Link copy it and bring it back to your profile on Fishnmore and paste it in the Avatar Bar... Now that's the way I done mine... Now the secrete is....When you're in your Modify Profile area ya gotta make sure you got your User ID and Password in there before you click on Modify Profile for the last time....That's the part I keep forgettin' I think your pass word has got to be in there twice.

Now ifin' all this don't work......Just send me or rum your picture and we'll see what the problem is....If your husband is in the picture with you....well, that might be what it is....'cause I found out that this AVATAR thingy on here won't let Ugly on it. (Hell, it took me atleast 10 pictures before I got one to stick.
