Heather Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Everyone- Click the "User CP" link in the upper left of the page. From there, click "Edit Avatar" from the Settings & Options section on the left-hand side of the page. The directions there should help you through, but let me know if they aren't clear. If you want to create an avatar, I found different sites via Google. I created one at http://www.doppelme.com. FYI -- "User CP" means User Control Panel. Sorry, not our choice of terms/abbreviations.

When I got there the avitar button is an X and there is nothing to chose? I can't click anything? This is what is says: Your Current Avatar No Avatar Specified Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post. Do not use an avatar( radio button which is clicked and I can't UNclick it) Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.

GothicGyrl Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Heather--avatars appear disabled on this board. This board set up is exactly like my snopes board and in the "edit avatar" section, there is no way to edit or upload an avatar. It just says "avatars disabled". Everything else works. But not even the stock avatars that come with the board are showing on here (and they do on the snopes board). ~~Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in SC Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Right when I thought I had it figured out I got confused. I see some folks posting that they can't upload an avatar but their picture is beautifully displayed beside their username. What *is* an avatar?! :-} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicGyrl Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 See the Hawt British dude next to my name? That's an avatar. Go to "User CP" up at the top, then click on "edit avatar" (left side) and you can upload one from your computer. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
