thumbnails under your screen name..

how do you guys have pictures in the posts you make or under your screen name?  thanks alot!

First find a pic thats the right size, then right click and goto propertie's for that pic, and copy the URL. The go into your profile and read the "help" section thats next to the avatar section, you want to read the "personal avatar" section of the help, that will tell you what to do.

Just make sure you don't make the picture TOO big, otherwise you'd push things on the page over when you post. I think my avatar tends to do that sometimes. >_>

The size of yours is fine takumi. Ideally they should be 64x64, but that doesn't really give you much room. Try to keep them under 160x120, and keep the filesize as small as possible.

It's not bad, alittle big, but not pushing the page past the edge of the screen. Funny thing is, i have the smallest avatar on this page, but mine takes up the most bytes :confused:

All has to do with compression, the colors in the image, etc. Especially with GIF images. You can have a 1000x100 PX image that's all one color, and if it's a GIF, it'll most likely be under 1k

there we go, all better!

[teampulse]

&lt;-- did it work

[teampulse]

#### thats not it

[BlankFlip]

teampulse, just make sure after u set ur avatar to &quot;personal&quot; and have the url for the pic in there that u go back in ur profile n do it one more time to get it to work. at least i've had to do that everytime.

[Turbo180sx]

it wont let me type anything in under avatar.. &nbsp;still trying to figure it out though

[Turbo180sx]

ok how about now?

[Turbo180sx]

hehehe

[Turbo180sx]

hehehe

[misnomer]

dood, you don't need to keep posting to test it :-)

When you get it right, it will change your avatar on all posts, past and present.

[teampulse]

dont get testy, us SLOW people are trying to figure it out here!!

[transient]

teampulse, try renaming that image to a .txt on the server as well as where you put the avatar source name. It should get by the tripod image blocker.

[gh6o6]

paste the url in &quot;Personal Avatar&quot; and hit submit on the bottom of the page the go and select &quot;personal&quot; from the drop down list an the hit submit again and it should work

Now in the properties section, the file name I'm looking for is the MS-Dos name right? &nbsp;I've got 240-6.jpg &nbsp;If this is what I'm looking for, then how would I write it in the personal avatar box in my profile.

&lt;---photo negative of my ride!!!

[burgy240]

s14kat, &nbsp;right click the pic and goto properties. &nbsp;then copy the url. &nbsp;next paste the url in the slot for it in your profile. &nbsp;select personal from the menu above it on the profile page and then submit it. &nbsp;go back to your profile again and see if the picture comes up when you select personal under the avatar list.

Allright this need's to be done <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

First find a photo of the correct size on the INTERNET, it cannot be on your home computer.
Right click on the photo and goto the propertie's like in the pic.

Now you have the pic name, go into your profile and type it into the box that is highlighted oin the bottom, and change the avatar selection to &quot;personal&quot; like i have highlighted on the top.

Now click sumbit. Once done with that, go back into your profile and select &quot;personal&quot; in the avatar box one more time and click submit.
