Avatars on the new forum

Bloodthroe · Post by **Bloodthroe** » Wed Jun 16, 2004 7:34 am

I was just wondering how I change my avatar. I went to the edit avatar page, but the only option there is (don't use an avatar.) I don't know how to change my avatar.

I think this is something that will become available when the forum it modified. Buck is still working on the changes.

Probably, I don't know if moderators can change their's. I just thought if I took mine off I could put a new one on, but I guess not.

Nope, whe mod´s are stuck with their current avatar as well.

Do you know how to even get an avatar? I'd like one, but I'm not sure where to find any.

Do a web search under "avatars." For starters, though, you might try looking here.

find a nice picture and use a graficprogram (paint will work) to change it to the correct size.
(Used to be 50x50 on the old board)

If you find something, like on the page that Fable showed, how do you get that to be your avatar? How do you get it onto the graphic program?

Save a pciture (in IE, right click it and save as) and open it with paint.
(this doesnt work with "moving" gif-files, for that you need another program)
And then resize it to 50x50pixels

okay, I'll try that as soon as I find a paint program. I think I have one, but I'm not sure.

Paint is included in (most) windows versions

Haha, that's a cute little site. I do the bloodthroe thing too, though. This funky blue hand is a scaled-down version of a piece by one of my favorite illustrators, Nick Bantock.

I think I found the avatar problem. Please check to see if you can upload one now.

Stilgar · Post by **Stilgar** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 3:39 am

I'm still having troubles, cant upload one, only delete the current one (as you can see)

[EDIT]Now i select one from a list

Post by **BuckGB** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 4:20 pm

Can you only pick from the list now? Is there still no way to upload your own?

The list is gone, and cant upload either. WHen the list was there, i could choose from 2 avatar's.
(see attachment)

Found a weird bug.
In fullscreenmode you cant choose a custom avatar.
The whole box simply isnt there.

On normal vieuw it's there, but i cant upload or link.
Have tried under someone else his account, and then it does work.

Anyone any idea why I cant?
