 Adding an Avatar
Several questions about putting an Avatar on a profile. What can the Avatar be...a photo from our computers? Or something else? I have tried to add a photo, and it wouldn't load, saying the size was too large. I keep trying with smaller file sizes, and no luck. Thanks for your help!!!

 Re: Adding an Avatar
Cjae...go to and use ( dont have to join anything) .........tinypic.com then do browse find pic ...in puter/ on puter etc then click it it will jump to tinypic
Before click upload change the size click it to thumbnail after ti loads
then copy and paste the IMG code into the avatar space or you might need the Url code for url space.... best to do this with two screens up at same time so can flip back and forth in case one or the other doesnt work..

Carole: I went to http://www.resizeyourimage.com/ and then uploaded an image from the desktop then entered 90 X 90 for the size, then resized it, saved again to desktop and uploaded. Hope that helps as an option pegan

 Re: Adding an Avatar
Perfect avatar for you Pat. I was thinking of a leprechaun, but the one you chose is quite magical and deep.

 Re: Adding an Avatar
Thank you brokenheart, pegan, and butterfly for your help. I found a cool photo on the tinypic website, but couldn't get it to load. I liked the pics they had on that site, so will probably try that again sometime. Ended up trying the resize your image site and put in a tree photo I had just taken and now I have an avatar.

 Re: Adding an Avatar
It has to be set at 90x90. You probably need to make it smaller. Let me know how you get on.
