How do we get a picture on the screen for the avatar

Post by Arlene »

I had a picture of me I was trying to get on the avatar and it wasn't any bigger than 80 pixels either way, and it was approx 4KB. It's also jpg, but it wouldn't show up. It only shows the red x in the middle of the box.

How do I load it up?

Thanks

Hi, Arlene.

I read somewhere that it is not possible to upload an avatar unless it is with a link from a website... Even though, Tex said that it is possible to send him an e-mail with the avatar you want and he will tell you how to upload it.

Get in touch with him, I am sure he will help you.
Love,

Arlene,

I'm not sure what the problem might be. I have had problems with my own JPG files, so I use GIF files, but several of the catagories in the gallery consist of JPG files. I haven't tested them to see if they actually work, though. The "Bomb" avatars, for example, are JPG files.

When I browse the files, I don't see anything that looks like it might be your file. Let me know if you if you want me to upload it. If you e-mail it to me, I'll upload it by FTP, into the custom file.

Tex
