How to add an Avatar

[bug12oz]

okay guys.

I noticed you guys had pictures of your business or of yourself under your screen names. I have made a logo for my card and invoices and would love to add it under my name on this board. Can you guys help me figure out how to add it?

Go to your control panel in the upper right hand corner. I think it is under "edit profile" . I will go have a looksee though.
You need to enter where the picture is on your photohost, etc...

Yes..go to control panel...edit profile...scroll down to where it says avatar url and place the location of your photo there

You know.. I've tried placing my avatar here but it just doesn't take for some reason. At first I added the same one I use on the member board but that was too big. So I resized it to 100 as it says and entered it. It didn't give me an error message.. but it's never shown up. And when I go back to check on it the URL isn't there anymore.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

i don't have one posted, but did you check whether you need to do

img src= or whether just http://www.whatever also, it may not recognize the "extra stuff"

for example http://www.elsewhere.com/nameofyourthing height=80 width=945459 (delete that extra stuff).

This board also tends to understand [img versus <img so try both

I know the one on the member board doesn't need the extra stuff... and it only asks for the URL, not the HTML to show an image.

But heck.. I'll TRY it with the HTML!

brb...

 

[elsewhere]

Nope. It doesn't want my HTML either. Maybe it just doesn't like my avatar :(

I just did it (looks like crud, though) by doing the http colon double backslash address. I made mine 100 tall, but it stretched it out funny. Gotta work on that.
