I`ve asked this question before, and I1m sure I have gotten good answers, But still I can`t seem to be able to connect an avatar to my posts. OK, first I open up my Edit profile, I see the box next to Avatar. I`ve got lots of boat pictures in my photobucket, I pick one out , left click on Direct link, right click on COPY. Then I go back to Edit Profile and right click on the box next to Avatar. My link shows up in the box. I then click on Browse, and then click on Update Profile, but it doesn`t blink, and nothing happens . Please tell me what I`m doing wrong.
Please type slowly, and maybe in all Caps,, so I can understand.
Thanks, rich

It may be that the photo is too large. I believe the limit 100x100 pixels.

Hey Rich, I had the same problem for a year. I finally just added my picture to my signature block, the same way you would add a picture to your post. Then all of a sudden one day, my picture mysteriously became an avatar. Originally, I had my pictures resized properly and could never add an Avatar to my name.
It works now and though I have a better picture I'd rather use, I will stay with this one as I don't want to lose the coolness of having an Avatar.

Binkie - I am sure one of the admins would be happy to size your image and put it up for you. I can size it but without you giving me access to your personal page I could not post it. I am leaving for the coast in about an hour but if you want me to size it for you I will. Email it to me at robert@agentacom.com and I will make it the right size.

CES,
I am the mystery as I did that for you....
Binkie,
1. Download one of the standard avatars from the download section.
http://www.whalercentral.com/download...?cat_id=10
2. Upload it to your avatar section in your profile
See if that works. If it does, then something is obviously wrong with the other avatars you are trying to use.

Thanks Joe! I was scratching my head weekly as to why it wouldn't work for me. I appreciate it.

CES,
I would like you to try the same thing as I mentioned to binkie except you would have to delete your avatar first and then upload one of the standard ones...
I would like to get to the bottom of this for you guys if there really is a problem with your accounts or ? ......
Thanks

If none of you that are having problems are wanting to try my suggestions above then I can't help you.
We had 3 or 4 members yesterday that had no problems uploading their avatar so I have no idea why you 3 are having a problem.
Again, I can't help you unless you try what I asked above.

Jeff,
Did you download one of the standard avatars in the download section?
Once you have downloaded one of those, go into your "Edit Profile" and upload the avatar.
Tell me what happens or what errors you get after trying that.

Joe I'm making progress. I just got my link to work but still can't get an avatar to work. I think my SpongeBob graphic may be to big but I can't get your Outrage avatar up either.

The Outrage avatar uploaded just fine to your personal page along with spongebob.
Go to "Edit Profile" and upload the Outrage avatar and try that.

Your spongebob was too large for an avatar. I shrunk it for you.

It shows me that both images are uploaded but I can't see how to select them to make either of them an avatar.

Your personal page has nothing to do with an avatar.... Nothing....
You need to click on the link I gave you above to add your avatar...
The avatar will live in your profile, not your personal page...

Well,
You can shrink it yourself from the larger version you have or you can save the one from your personal page to your computer desktop.
From your computer desktop, you can upload it to your profile the same way you did the outrage avatar.
