Avatar?

[Jesse D]

I was asked by a confused modeler in a post earlier If I could change my Avatar. I tried this several times already to no avail. I was uploading JPEGs the same as my current avatar and It don't seem as though it worked. Any idea why?

avatar must come from your computer's hard drive not a photo host...

I don't think you should have to change your avatar only because another person wants you to, in my opinion.

Two of us have the same one, It was getting confusing. I never had a photo host. I don't even know how to use one, All my pictures come off my computer's harddrive.

I just noticed, IT WORKED!!

i was just messing around with that the other day and i also noticed it was very finicky and unpredictable. i think it has something to do with the pixel resolution or maybe the maximum size of the photo file. but i finally got it to work with a less than optimum choice, but my favorite artist nonetheless.

This statement isn't true. I have always posted mine from photobucket on all the forums I belong to. Along with the avatar, you must list the correct size in the appropriate lines.

You might want to look into a hosting site. You'll get larger pix and you can post with one click with Photobucket. I can't say about Fotki because I didn't like it and don't use it.
