How do you create avatar / profile picture?

[Skokie]

I was wondering how you put the small picture in at the top left corner of everyone's post?

Click "User CP" (Control Panel)

Then click "Edit Avatar" (The "little picture" is called an avatar)

Choose a picture from the Net or upload one from your computer and click "Save Changes". (The picture you choose must be 100 by 100 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).)

[Erk]

Are you using "Print Screen?"




Yeah, I hit 'Print Screen' then pasted it to PhotoShop and cropped it and added the arrows.

That was a piece of cake. You should see me answer computer questions from my 77-year-old father OVER THE PHONE! :eek: **Erk bangs head on computer desk **

Erk...be carefull of your head! I know what you are going through! I tried to help Mom learn how to e-mail...she could do it with a word by word explanation every time! She could never get it alone...Oh well! Good Luck!

Thank you so much for the instructions. I'll practice tonight after dinner.

[Skokie]

Thank you Thank you...I think I did it.

[Erk]

Thank you Thank you...I think I did it.




Yes, you did! :604

And a nice avatar, too! :)

[Skokie]

Now, if I could only learn to post my pictures at the correct size. Either there're too big so they get rejected or they get accepted but when I open them in my post they are too small. I'll have to practice that one now. At least I have this small task mastered and I thank you for that. banana

[Erk]

You're welcome! Glad I could help.

This is a test to see if the avatar attaches...
