How do I upload my own personal picture (Avatar)

[seatime]

Doesn't work for me either, the link to other sites has never worked, I'm over it now. I was able to upload a pic though, but not avatar, 'shrug'.

I still cant get this to work, have tried file sizes from 19kb down to 4kb, I dont know what I am doing wrong. I have done what is specified but when I click on options page after choosing pic, nothing is saved?

Are you clicking on the "Change Profile" button at the bottom of the page once you select the file/pic ?

Mate, I am glad I am not the only one having problems doing this. I am having more trouble than Flash Gordon!!

It is not because of internet explorer as I have tried all of these instructions with Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox.
I have tried three different computers with no luck.

What is really frustrating, is that it worked once! I had a picture up there, but I wanted to change it for a picture of my boat...

I wish I could get some help with this...

Mr. Moderator, here is the picture that I want as my Avatar, Could you pleaseeeeeee help me???

Cheers,
Lunatic.

When should you hit "shift Refresh"? After you have clicked make changes?

There is nothing wrong with the program and the upload avatar is working. Thought I would reproduce this from the first post for everyone.

To display your own personal pic (Avatar) the pic must be less than 20kb in file size and no more than 110 pixels wide. If it is wider than 110 pixels it will be resized and may not look as good as you intended it to.

Read this post on how to resize your image.

Avatars must be G Rated, we reserve the right to remove any we feel inappropriate for the chat boards.

Images subject to copyright can not be used. In otherwords, if you do not own the image you can not use it.



Go into your profile by clicking on the Profile button in the top menu. Then click on the Modify tab, you will then need to enter your password inthe box provided and click on Confirm Password.

Once you are in your profile click on the Options Tab.

Then select the tickbox next to "Select checkbox if you choose Personalized Picture accessible from another server, or upload from you PC"



Then click on the Browse button to select the image you wish to upload from your PC.


NOTE - image can only be .gif, .png, .jpg or .jpeg and must be under 20Kb

File extension must be in lowercase.


Then click on "Change Profile"

Your avatar should now be set.


If your old avatar is still displayed it would probably be due to the fact you are using Internet Explorer (IE). IE will Cache the original avatar on your computer. You will need to Refresh your browser to force it to load the new pic/info from the server. Sometimes you need to hold the Shift key down while you click on Refresh to force it to load the new pic.
