KimmyCustard Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Right you clever things, how on earth do I get ANYTHING on Photobucket so I can get ANYTHING as an avatar?! I'm with Paola on this, completely alien to me, even though I use a computer all day! Would love a Crimbo avatar, I love Christmas too........

Lesley Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Use Google Images to find something you like and save it to your PC - I save mine in My Pictures. Open Photobucket choose Upload and choose the image you've saved Then you can resize etc. Does that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h13/Egluntine/filephpavatar91-1.gif Paste that into the 'link to off-site' bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Have thunk. 1. Go into User control panel 2. then "profile" 3. then "Edit avatar" 4. then delete your current one (save the address somewhere) and paste the address of the new one into the Upload from a URL 5. then "Submit". Fingers crossed it should work. If not I'm sure a kind mod will leap to your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 There you have it...three answers...all different...and probably all right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I thought Paola neded the stage before that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It doesn't work because the forum shortens the links... Try this link http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/crazy580/filephpavatar91-1.gif (The 'code' bit stops it from being shortened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) I tried it in mine by following the instructions I posted above and posting http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h13/Egluntine/filephpavatar91-1.gif into the upload from an Url bit and it worked fine.

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 No not early if you've bought prezzies and ordered the tree. So here's mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've finally managed to work out how to make my avatar into a Christmas edition. and I'm feeling quite pleased with the result, although I say so myself. (because it's taken me ages) Anyway, it has the effect of bumping up this thread so others can get into the festive mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
