I'm probably looking past something simple, but I didn't see anything other than the profile picture deal. (?)

Once you are logged in:

1. Click 'Settings' towards the upper RH corner of the page.

2. At the far left, click 'Edit Avatar' under 'My Settings'.

3. Choose "Option 2 - Upload Image From Your Computer:". This will allow you to download an image stored in your computer but it can't be larger than 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

Hope this helps!

A lot of people's avatars are not showing up in the threads. Give them some time to work on it. I'm sure there will be a lot of bugs to work out.

I have:

EDIT Profile
EDIT Profile Pic
EDIT Signature
EDIT Privacy Settings

Nothing about avatars at all...:gruebel:

I'm sure everything will get fixed a small amount at a time.
Work in progress.

Disreguard my ealier post. Seems they aren't the same. Looks like the avatar option is disabled for non-moderators. Atleast that is what I assume.

No,..... I (we) did that, and still no "avatar", but it's in the "profile pic".

Next guess, that didn't work and I have been using the same avatar all over the net.

I saw the place to set it up, but don't have any art program in this new to me xp system. So at the moment have no way to lower the file size of my old liberty face. Yesterday I tried to import it from 2 mc sites i go to, but no dice. To big.

AK-J, there is both avatar, and profile pic. One is next to the other, but they are not the same things.

Just fer grins this is what i want made small enough, if anyone feels like helping.

Maybe 6 weeks ago now, I took my old dead beater win 98 system down, and lost my photoshop 3. I have that on a disk, but xp won't read it.

There might be a way with xp for all I know, but I am just still learning this. Since i ain't gettin' any younger, computers are never going to really be my thing. :googoo:

How about these: they are 100x100 pixels. One is original contrast, the other is boosted.
