    How do you place Avatar?

    Help!!!

    I'm going nuts trying to place an Avatar with my name. Tried everything at least 50 times (exatration) and still nothing.

    There's gotta be a way to do this, or am I so brain dead that I'm missing something.

      For the moment, it'll only show up if you've uploaded one, and you only get that option if you've donated -- it's a perk.

      If you have donated:
      1. Go to 'User CP' in the woodgrain menu above.
      2. Edit Avatar
      3. Give it a URL or select a file from your computer
      4. Save Changes
      Sam's looking at getting some stock ones to install into the forum. When that happens, presumably, you'll have a list to choose from at the same place.

          There is something missing between steps 2 and 3.

          At least I hope so , or I am beginning to feel really stupid this morning

              Do you see the " Upload an Avatar From Your Computer:" option with the "Browse" button next to it? THat's what you use. Are you sure the picture you're trying to use fits within the limits defined?

                  Nope. If this is to be an option that is only available to certain people under certain conditions, it might be helpful to have some text wording on the Avatar setting as to what those are and if the person doesn't have it, what they need to do to get it. That way there is no confusion as to what is what, and keeps the continual queries out of the message boards.

                      As you can see, I figured it out. The Avatar option is only available if you donate to the cause. It doesn't state that on the options just leaves you to pull your hair out. But then I was confused because I had already given prior to the change over.

                      But I guess it was time to fork over some more cash, this site is certainley more useful than all of my magazine subscriptions put together.

                      BTW- nice job on the new software Sam
