Couperwife Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 hello and welcome. the bit you are looking for is in your profile, if you look under the green banner, you'll see profile there, click on it and it will take you to all of your personal waffle. the picture is called the avatar. if you give me a minute, ill find the instructions to adding more info to your profile - its under a sticky on one of the threads. back soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 How to do your signature is in this thread - http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12932 and this is how you add an avatar under your name. To add an avatar to your profile, you need to trawl through the internet search engines (Google's good) looking for "animated avatars" or "animated GIFs". When you find one you like - it doesn't have to be animated if you'd prefer a less manic one - you click the right hand button of your mouse over it and a menu will come up. The picture has to be less than 12K or no more than 80 pixels high or wide so click on "Properties" to see if it's the right size. On the menu, select "Save picture as" - in the box that comes up when you do that, you can choose where the picture will be stored on your computer. I always put them straight into "My Pictures" which is the file the computer automatically selects for you. Click "save". The picture is then stored in a file ready for use. Right, now go into "Profile" in this forum and find the "Upload Avatar from your machine" bit at the bottom. You need to click on the "Browse" button to find where your picture is stored. You'll see the "My Pictures" file automatically appear when you do that and all you have to do is find the name of the picture you've saved. Double click on that name and it should appear in the box next to the "Browse" button. All you now have to do is click "Submit" and it should be in your profile.

Guest Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 If you save it to a photobucket account, then it will give you an option for 'avatar' size and then it should work! Welcome to the forum, by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Open it up in something like Micrsoft Photo editor and re size it to 80 pixels, that'll do it. Edited August 14, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkButton Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 You can resize pics in MS photo editor but i don't know about animations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It sounds too big still, I'm afraid. It needs to be no bigger than a maximum of 80 pixels wide by 80 pixels high. If you're having problems, let me know and I'll send you my e-mail address so you can send it to me and I'll see if I can resize it for you .
