How to put a picture in the avatar
« on: June 13, 2008, 06:10:01 PM »
Hey guys,

I'm a newbie and not very savy with the computer stuff.

I have my pictures in photobucket, but I can't figure out how to put the pic in my avatar.

Thanks.

At the top of the screen there's a menu. Click on "Profile". 

You'll be take to your profile. 

Then click on "Forum Profile Information" on the left side of the screen. 

When you get into that screen, you'll see a radio button that says "I have my own pic" with a text box next to it. 

Paste the link from Photobucket in this text box. 

Scroll down and click save.

I put one of you pics in there, so if you want to change it, just paste a new link in there.

I know this is a very old thread but I'm really just testing the picture upload.

If you want to post the link to your image, I can help place it into your account.

Hey guys, glad I'm not the only one to experience problems getting a photo on here.  I pasted a link and all I get is an empty box with a little red "x".  Tried uploading a pic from my PC and get the same "x".  Am I doing something wrong or is this just a setting that needs to be changed?

It has to be a direct link to the image file not to a facebook page like it is now.

Uploading the original jpg file should work though.
Nice pic btw.
