SharkBite Report post Posted February 17, 2006 This is not really a problem..and was not sure if i should have posted here or in general chat... But can somebody tell me how I get an image that is on a website (like found with google picture search) as my avatar? I dont have my own webpage.. and i have fiddled with a few of the options... But I cannot seem to get an image.. (I dont want to use the preset avatars). Do i need approval first of the image i choose? (It will be a G rated image... ie children safe viewing ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted February 17, 2006 You need to upload the image to a place like photobucket or imageshack to host it, then insert that link where the space in your control panel is for avatars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted February 17, 2006 How do I get a picture below my name? The picture below your name is called an Avatar. Your avatar must be no bigger than 90 pixels by 90 pixels in size. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB. The following file types are allowed: gif,jpg,jpeg,png To get your own avatar you need to: 1. Select a picture (see limits above) 2. Upload it to a web space of your own. There are free services out there, such as photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/) 3. Open your control panel - My controls button at the top right of the forum window. 4. Select Edit Avatar Settings 5. In the Enter a URL to an online avatar image paste the URL of your image, this should look like (example): http://www.domain.com/yourimage.gif 6. Press the Update Avatar button Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
