Avatars

[ironhat]

Do you folks have a sorce for avatars that you list beside your names on your posts? Is it something that you can create yourself?
TIA,

Type "Avatars" into Google...you'll get several websites where you download some.

or use a picture that you have.

the new forum software is so much more fun!

You can use your own images. Just size them to the max size Sam has setup. I believe it is 80 by 80.

There's gotta be millions of them out there.

There's a great idea, Ken. Thanks to all for your patience for a goobers question.

found some

Well I went and googled Avatars and then found some after lots of searching. Found a site with Disney avatars and looking around on that site found lots of other ones also. It was kind of fun looking around that one. But I am still going to get a good picture of my kids to put up there. But for now the flag works well for me.

How do you select an avatar. I loaded one but can not figure how to display it.

Save the custom avatar to your computer, wherever you'd like it to remain, then under the User CP, on the Avatar page, near the bottom, is a dialog box labeled upload an avatar from your computer, with a Browse button next to it. Use that to direct where your avatar is saved.


HTH,

Johnny's method is correct, HOWEVER note that you must be a forum Patron to use a custom avatar.

Which reminds me: is there any indication (other than custom avatars and custom user titles) of who is and is not a Patron? If there is, I've not found it.
