How do I get an avator?

Eat Out My Eyes · Mar 17, 2004

I was just wondering how to get one, cuz it seems when I try to edit it I can't.

When you say "I can't" what do you mean? Do you get an error - if so, what error do you get?

At the moment non-editors on this forum cannot upload custom avatars or profile pictures.

Cool, we thought it was based on the # of postings. Thanks for the info.

Sorry to bump the thread again, but I went to change my avatar and now I cannot add an avatar back (other than the 6 standards)? Any other editors have any idea what is happening? Was it disabled for editors too? No big deal, just thought I would inquire.

Thanks

Shadow, did you scroll down and re-check "add custom avatar"? I haven't tried to change my adorable avatar, since it is perfect in every respect. lol However, when I tried a few others in the beginning, it always defaulted back to the six, and I had to go through the process again. Just a thought.

Dogbows-
That option disappeared as soon as I deleted my old avatar so I do not have the option to "add custom" anymore which is why I thought perhaps editors also had avatars disabled. At one time, I had an avatar added but decided to change it to a different one. The first time I logged on as an editor the "add custom" avatar was there but for the last couple of weeks it has been mysteriously absent??

Maybe it is because I am fairly new

as an editor and only the more experienced ones get the custom option. Again, no big deal either way but I have a cool supply of avatars I would like to use if possible.

Thanks for responding.

dogbows · Aug 16, 2004

No, I do not believe that is the case. I am sure a Moderator or Administrator will check it for you. I am new also, but I think when I was playing with it in the beginning, I did not remove the avatars, I just scrolled down and changed them, so I don't really understand, but someone will check it. The Moderators and Administrators are very kind to the new editors, and have been very helpful to me as a newbie, even with what I am sure they have deemed rediculous little quirks of mine. They are all truly exceptional people. Do I get any Brownie Points for that one?

kctipton · Aug 16, 2004

I see it as a choice at the bottom of the screen when I click on that part of my control panel.

shadow575 · Aug 16, 2004

Nope. I do not have the add custom anywhere?? Weird.

I click "edit avatar" and a window opens up that has an empty box that reads "No avatar specified" then it says
"Avartars are the small graphics that are displayed under your user name when you post"
then
Do not use avatar with a circle checked
"Note: if you have a custom avatar checking this box will delete it"
Pre-defined avatars
has six to choose from and then two options:
Save Changes or Reset Fields

Underneath all that, is nothing until the small print at the bottom. Just strange that I apparently am the only one not seeing it.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Not a real big deal, but would be nice to personalize it a bit.

Thanks

dogbows · Aug 16, 2004

Just one more question. Have you tried checking and/or un-checking the "Do not use Avatar" Box?

shadow575 · Aug 16, 2004

Yes I tried to un-check it. Since there are no other options though it has no effect. I went through after my last post and changed it to one of the pre-determined avatars, then saved it and went back and tried to change again. still no luck finding an "add Custom button" maybe I am just going blind but I cannot find it anywhere on any of the options/menu's. It is very strange

.

Maybe I am destined to remain faceless

Might be better that way anyway, although when I did have a custom avatar it was my son's picture which was nice to look at. I thought though I would go to a graphic vs an actual photo pic which is why I changed in the first place. Should left it as is and might not have had the problem. Thanks for offering up suggestions though. If you think or hear of anything else to try, I would love to get it working.

Thanks much dogbows.

Try it now Shadow. For some reason you were not showing up as an editor in the database even though your profile here was showing you as an editor.

shadow575 · Aug 17, 2004

Yea!
Thanks donaldb! It is working now. That was weird??

It worked fine when I first had my status updated to editor throught that thread. When I changed my avatar the first time is when it went haywire. Thanks for fixing me.

Thanks-dogbows and kctipton too.

dogbows · Aug 17, 2004

You are quite welcome! And I knew as soon as Mr. donaldb showed up, he would find your answer. He always does.

shadow575 · Aug 17, 2004

I thought maybe there was an issue with the status of the account, but all things showed up as editor so the only thing missing was this option. Works great now.

Thanks again.

dogbows · Aug 17, 2004

And a very nice avatar you have there as well. Almost as good as mine.

shadow575 · Aug 20, 2004

DB-
Thank you. It is my basic one. I like to keep it simple, but I also have several others to use depending on my mood

.

You are correct though....not quite as good as yours
