Gary Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Help! I've tried uploading an avatar pic from my computer but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? I have checked the size. Email it to me and i will see if I can find out what you are doing wrong garys@warrington-worldwide.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thanks for the offer Gary I have sent three examples for you. It used to be easy in the old forum format but I just can't seem to manage updating my picture profile anymore. Go to your profile and use the upload avatar from your computer button - it has to be less than 80x80 pixels - it is easy - even Dizzy can manage it The only method I seem to be able to use is by uploading the required avatar photo to Photobucket (register first it's free) 1. Register with Photobucket 2. Upload photo 3. Open up the photo, 4. Left clk on this highlights in yellow - Copied 5. Return to to Warrington Worldwide, 6. Open up profile, paste into: Off site avatar 7. Submit 8. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 SL / Gary.... it doesn't work for me either when I try use the 'upload avitar from your computer' button. It says it has updated my profile but then there is no avitar. I even tried it with the picture I used to use but that didn't work by the 'upload from your pc' either.

Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 ALGY.. I have always used photobucket to do it too (in the exact way you have described) as that's the only way that seems to work for me too. I've put mine back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Trying to upload avatar as Algy described. Nope not yet. Do I have to wait until it uploads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 make sure you resize it though to less than 80 x 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I resized it to 79 x 79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Trying again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 so where is it then Mine is 72 x 78 and my other was 74 x 78 (resized in photobucket)they were fine. Try shrinking yours a teeny bit a bit more. If you have followed Algys instructions it should definately work. Make sure your link is like this and that you havent copied the link with IMG round it...... mine is http ://i328. photobucket.com/albums/l346/dismayed_2008/me-1-1.jpg (without the spaces of course) Go to your profile page scroll down and press DELETE Avatar Image (even if you don't think you have one) Submit chages to your profile. Then go back into your profile page and paste YOUR link into the very last box on your profile page And submit changes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 How are you doing Wingnut... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just done it but I need to resize it again. Thanks cock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 You will have to do it from your original larger size image. Crop only the bit you want ie your little man and save it. Then resize the cropped one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Will do. I'll do it tomorrow. I wasn't deleting the IMG brackets in the first instance. Thanks again luv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I was nearly searching for where you live and knocking on your door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Your not that far away mate, but be carefull you don't fall in those pot holes on Chester Rd. Bet you know Betty & John, I went to the same school as him although he is slightly younger than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yep, they're good neighbours mate. About 5 doors from me. Ahaaa at last. The maggot in me head wouldn't let me stop until I'd sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm suprised you are speaking to Wingy Algy as he didn't follow your instructions... you did tell him to Left clk on the Direct Link.... if he had done that it wouldn't have had the IMG code around it and would have worked first time Only kidding Wingy as I thought that you had probably clicked on the usual link code (ie the one for displaying photos on a post) ... I do it all the time too out of habit and have to delete the bits around the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 That's what I had done Dizzy. I'm a bit like you at not reading instructions properly then? I've learned more on this forum from the people on here than I have anywhere else in the time I have been on the internet. Mmmmwhaaaa.
