I'm afraid I'm pretty hopeless at this sort of stuff but have you resized your pic?

I use photobucket and go for the 50% option..........might be worth a try, if not then try 25%.

Of course it could be something else entirely.[Www][Www][Www]

I have put my photo I want on my Avatar

as suggested in "Photobucket", this was successful,

but how do I get it into my AVATAR. I have gone as far as press

Browse, but " My Document" comes up.

[Russethouse]

Hi Monika, Go to your photobucket picture and copy the URL by the side of the [img] tag, (there are three options below the picture) then paste that into the box instead of browsing.

Hope that works

Good Luck

Hi Russethouse. Thanks for that, I am doing what you suggested, but it does not seem to work. Then I did the same wanting to send the photo to my son, because it would be a more "sendable" size (I have tried to send it direct from "my photoes" but it takes ages to download for the recipient)  but only the website comes up on the e-mail not the photo. Thanks for your help. You seem to be very computer literate, perhaps you could help me on that: whenever I print something on my Epson I get these red horizontal lines, I tried to clean the head, but it still happens.

I assume the avatar in question is not the picture of a house that I can see!

Have you checked that the new avatar is less than 80px high and 80px wide?  To check, click on it and look up its properties - that will tell you how big it is, among other things.  If to big you can reduce the size again in photobucket, or in photoediting software if you have some.

When you say the 'website' comes up in the email I suppose you mean the URL on the photobucket site - try copying what it says in the Image box - the third box under the image - in photobucket and pasting it in.  This should give the image url but start it with img in brackets and end it with [img].

But you may as well just (a) send the image as an attachment or (b) right click on it, copy then paste it into the body text of your email - that would be easier.

Hi Cassis, I want to replace this picture with a more recent one (this picture was one sent to us by our project manager and I was able to put it in my avatar without problems).However I followed your advice and sent our new photo to my son which worked out fine with very little downloading time. But I am just unable to replace my AVATAR. I will try again today, following your advice.

[Russethouse]

Monika, When you are typing your reply  (like I am now) you can only see the image string (img) --------------(/img}( I have put it in round brackets instead of the square ones you will see) It isn't until you actually post it that the image shows.

Does that help ?

[Cassis]

To make your new image your avatar follow these steps:

1. Check the image you want to use for your avatar is no wider than 80px and no higher than 80px as I described (e.g. if I right click on your current avatar and hit properties I can see your current avatar is 80px by 60px so it is okay).
2. At the top of the forum page click on your name next to 'Edit your details'.
3. Scroll down to where it says Avatar and either:

• upload from your computer by clicking the 'Browse' button and locating the image on your computer (make sure it's a version under 80px x 80px)

or

• paste or type in the image URL as shown in Photobucket (the first box under the photobucket image, called 'URL').

That should work.

Cassis has described it well.

If you still have problems email me the pic and I'll sort it out for you.

You have all been soo helpful, and I still

can't do it.

Thanks James for your offer, I have e-mailed the

photo to you.

(at least I have learned how to do that: by pasting

the IMG into the URL)
