Make my own avatar?

Kbasa, is the Avatar and custom text bit for individual users or for everyone? I can't add my avatar/text either. Please assist.

Thanks

Wow, thats a really cool avatar!

Still looking for a good one for here. The one I used on the last forum isn't quite appropriate here...

Looks like you have the avatar part worked out. I think you have to hit ten posts before you can change your custom text.

And einnar, I like that picture. :ha

Cool.. I'll put it in place then, until something better comes along.. :)

thanks, I was starting to feel bad about using the Airheads logo as i've let my membership with them lapse. In the meantime, I'll keep hunting around for something better

Kbasa, I have tried to follow your instructions, however, When I resized a jpg file with the Irfanview it came out as a bmp file. got an improper file type when I tried to upload it to my profile. Went back and resized it again and saved as a jpg extesion but got the same message when I tried to upload.
what next??

More detail:
the error mes is=" the upload is not a valid GIF, NPG PNG file"
I tried to do the same on Adventure rider and got the exact same error msg.

mail me the file at teamkbasaATcomcastDOTnet and I'll take a look at it.

Thanks but I will use this one, looks good and VERY easy to use.

test that

I'm just checking my ability to use a custom avatar

Trying to upload a custom avatar. I resized a picture using IrfanView to a size of 72x60 and filesize of 4.75Kb. When I upload I'm told it's to big.

Max size is 70 x 70, so you're just a smidge over.

I mentioned this elsewhere but don't mind repeating myself, myself. There's an avatar_sizer program available on [url]www.download.com[/url] for free that's so easy to use it's silly. You can turn any photo/graphic into the perfect avatar.
