Avatar help - Image under username

Have had several inquiries as to the images under your registered username...as far as "how do I do that or upload my own image"

It's quite simple actually, just click on the User Control Panel button at the top of the forum page. Then select the "Profile" tab, and click on Edit Avatar.

The images are called "avatars" and you can upload your own. The max size is 100x100 pixels.

As far as the spike http://www.muleymadness.com/forum/images/ranks/spike.gif" alt="" /> or deer image below your name... it will grow and get bigger with the more you post to the forums.

Hope this helps.

Here is an example of my "Avatar" image...

Went to select Avitars at bottom of profile page and can't get anything to come up. Is the site down or am I doing something wrong?

"there is no site" per say, we don't have a set of avatars to choose from.

You just upload your own from your computer. Make sense?

I need help from someone smarter than me. My problem is that I can't get the file size lower than 9 kb. I have lower the pixels to even 1x1 and it still stays higher than 9 kb. Please help!

It's a bit tough to explain in a post or email, but if you want to email it to me I'll do it for you and send it back?

wmm,

We just upgraded forums and there is some issues, using FIREFOX browser should show the profile.

Explorer may not.

 The profile link has changed to the "User Control Panel" This link is at the top of each page to the left of the "members","login","faq",and "search buttons".

You will only see the link if you are logged in. Click on the "user control panel" link, click on the "profile" tab, then click on "edit avatar." Here you can upload your avatar image as explained by MuleyMadness.

I found this website a few days ago and it's the easiest way I have found to create an avatar from a picture. Just make sure the pixels are set at 100 or less for this website and follow the directions. You may need to re-size the picture first to get it to turn out the way you want it. Hopefully you don't mind me posting the link Brett. It's free and I figured it would help some people out who want to create an avatar from a picture.

 Thanks so much for posting the link to mypictr.com. :not-worthy It worked great. I finally have an avatar after countless trys of cropping and opening with every program I could think of. The instructions were very easy and then you download your sized picture. Once you have it sized you can edit your avatar under the profile tab, browse for your newly downloaded/sized picture and Voila You have an avatar.

The website that Torch posted worked awesome even for someone as non-computer savy as myself. Thanks - Leo
