How to add an Avatar?
 

Is there a certain point in the "newbie" status where you can add an Avatar or is there a switch action I'm missing. I've been into User CP, edit Avatar and I can't make the change. Any help would be appreciated.

Dave send me the pic in a PM and I will do that for you..............

Don't do it Dave! It's a trap!

I don't think there's any "newbie" restrictions. I've found that the key to having a custom avatar on most boards is making sure that is small - in the case of COTEP.org, it should be 80x80 pixels, or less than 19KB - whichever is smaller.

You might need to tweak your picture with an editor - there are several free ones that are pretty good.

Oh sure, put me on the tinter hooks like that. Careful, you might be sent back to "mimber status", "shudder":eek:. I don't even own, like or could identify one but I got hung with the label.

I've never had a problem posting the avatar. The switch action won't let me get access to have a denial for size.

It's a gif that is located in a file on my computer. Don't have the internet link anymore. Strange that I can't access the avatar function on this site. Works on all the other's I've joined. Ah well, I'll just keep you all in the dark.

I was able to post the picture to my site profile picture section. Can you access it from that point?

NO DAVE.... Please... don't do it... you just don't understand what can happen when Clyde gets a picture in his hands.....
LOL

Dave, throw money and then it works great!
....at leastbthats what I was told

I see from your picture that you are slave to the true owner of your household. I understand as I have two (who are sisters, BTW). I guess I'll just have to go avatarless. Ah well.
