Avatar/Signature Pic Questions

[the_mrs]

Hi
Ive been trying to get an avatar, after I paste the code it says invalid file. I was using an avatar maker cause I just wanted something simple for right now like just my user name (the mrs). Then I tried to edit my signature and was able to get the code to "work" but it just shows the actual code and not the picture. So I tried it in the picture part and again invalid file. The one that "worked" was from my hot comments. Can anybody help me please?

Click on the Browse button and pick a pic off of your computer...

Hi,


Is this the pic you want to use for your avatar?

Can anyone tell me how to find/add an avatar? Thanks!

1. Finding an Avatar: Use your own pic or one from your files, or Google a celeb, animal, whatever, click on Images, and copy the one you like to you files.

2. Look on the far left hand side of the little FAD tool bar at the top of the page. Click on User CP. Scroll down until you see a link for Edit Avatar. Click on Browse. Your files will pop up, click on the image you want to use, then click Save. You can also use an image from photobucket or some other image hosting site by copying the image location URL, going to User CP, and pasting it where you see the URL box, then clicking Save.

Just remember it has to be under 100 kb to work. That drove me mad for the longest time.

Ok, I'm having an airhead moment. I hope this is the right section to ask. How do I make my signature pic larger?

[Frazzzld Kat]

If the one showing now is the actual size it will distort when you try to enlarge. But you would need to use a paint program (i.e. photoshop or the one that comes with windows) to make the image larger. Then save it and try going into your user cp and uploading the newly saved image. I hope that made sense.

Ok I'll give it a try. Thanks!
