| Q. How do I add my own avatar image to my profile ? You can use any image you like for your profile avatar, as well as the selection provided in the Avatar Galleries. To change your avatar, click the 'Edit Avatar Settings' option in the Control Panel left hand menu. To use an image that is located on your own computer, click the 'browse' button. An explorer window will pop up allowing you to select the image you'd like to use. Once your happy with the image you've chosen, click 'Update Avatar' in the Control Panel and your avatar will be updated in your profile. Please note that the image you wish to upload to use as your avatar can be no larger than 20k in filesize, and no bigger than 115x115 in pixels. Also ensure that the image is either a GIF, JPG, JPEG or PNG. Q. I can't get an image to upload - help ! This is usually down to one of two things - either the image you are trying to upload is too large, or it is the wrong file format. The best way to fix either of these problems, is to use a paint application such as Jasc Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop to resize or convert the image as needed. Remember, an image can be no larger than 20kb in size, and avatars can be no larger than 115x115 in pixels width/height. The image must also be either a JPG, JPEG, GIF or PNG to work. If you don't know how to resize the image or don't have access to a program that can do that, your best option is to either ask a member of site staff for assistance, or simply select an avatar from the ones available on the forum. |
Good luck!
