Avatars

[Josh Richardson]

With the new changes to the board again, which way are we doing avatars this time. I cant seem to find it anywhere!!

 

[Jeff Snyder]

Are you asking how to add an avatar?

If so, go to User CP, then click on Edit Avatar. I don't know if ST is allowing avatar uploads, so your best bet is to upload your image somewhere else and link to it.

 

[Dan Cook]

It won't let me add one. Only option available is to remove, not add.

 

[B Ozanne]

I don't have an option to add an avatar either.

 

[Josh Richardson]

Yep, thats what Im getting as well, just an option to delete.

 

[Jeff Snyder]

You guys don't have a "Custom Avatar" box under the delete avatar field? If not, then I'll bow out to let Tim answer... Interestingly enough, I do see an avatar in Josh's Profile, though it doesn't show up in these posts.

nope not working Jeff

 

[Jason Boggs]

I also have no choice to add an avatar in my profile.

 

[Karen Politte]

The only panel I get when I bring up the "Avatars" info is this:

"Your Current AvatarNo Avatar Specified Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Do not use an avatar
Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it."​

There is no option to add one - the only box to check is already checked and it says "do not use an avatar".

I feel a bit naked without my sunglasses.

OK, custom avatars are now enabled for members.

Something's still not quite right Tim. I'm trying to upload a jpeg that's 90x68 and 18kb in size but keep getting an error message saying "This is not a valid image file".

EDIT: Works now that I've uploaded it to a photo hosting site but wouldn't work when I was trying to use it while it was on my computer.

 

[Tim Vasquez]

Try converting it to a GIF or PNG, and/or try naming it JPG instead of JPEG.

 

[Karen Politte]

Yaaaaaay.

LOL.

Thanks, Tim!

[Dan Cook]

uploading works fine for me.

 

[Josh Richardson]

Got it now, thanks Tim!!
