Click on user CP on the left of the navigation bar



Click on Edit avatar



You now have 2 options, you can upload a picture from an existing site (i.e. yahoo images) or from your own computer.



If you choose option 1, from an existing site, copy and paste the URL into the space provided.

For option 2 to upload from your computer click on browse, and it will open your files on your desktop, choose your picture file (or wherever you have your pictures stored), and click on the one you want to use.

Note: it must be sized 100x100 pixels or 19.5 kb(so you may need to resize it first).
*Note: to resize your images to an "avatar" size, a photo hosting site (i.e.; photobucket) is helpful. You just create an account, load your picture, store it and then edit it(It really is as simple as follow the prompts). One of the size options in avatar, have it automatically resized and then save it back to your file and use that image, or use the URL for a direct link.

Okay I have a question. I have no problem changing my avatar. But some members have really cool moving avatars and I have found some really cool ones to use, but no matter what I try to place them, they don't work.

So my question is, how to do place a moving avatar?

Use a photo host site (ie photobucket (I personally love this one!)), and copy the URL from there to here using the steps outlined above...does that make sense? I have found when I try and do it right from my computer (browse) the animation stops working and it is a still instead, but with a host site it keeps the animation intact. HTH

I've tried this. My problem I usually get an error telling me it is to large, so when I edit the size in photobucket it stops the animation.
