Avatars

[Unkle_John]

I know I can choose my own avatar and a few others can. What is the limitation on new and older members adding their own images? I think it would be cool if everyone created a meez (like I did in photobucket). That way we at least see an cyber version of you. unfortunately they don't make plus size meez.... or i haven't figured out yet.

I think everyone can pick up to 5 images in their own member library..will check on that.


Good idea on the Meez avatar!! Will check it out.

[Unkle_John]

Not a problem!

I also recommend everyone using photobucket to post photos here on this board. I know there are a lot of photo-hosting sites but not all of them are supported by this board. I do know that photobucket is becoming more universal. Plus they even give you the links with the [img][ /img] attachments already in the line.

[Hippie Staff]

Ok..should a sticky be made about this?


I have the board set to host an image of less than 39k per post too.

[Unkle_John]

If this thread is seen by everyone then yes. I would make a statement in the general discussion board if not.

I think that's a fine size, I believe photobucket resizes now.

[Hippie Staff]

picts have to be below 39k to be loaded to the board...if you need help, just send me the file to info@happyhippie.com and I'll load it up for you :)

[Unkle_John]

I can resize them for you.
I'm going to go modify my avatar image to an "appropriate girth" LOL!!

[CowboyHippy]

i see nothing about uploading an avatar, just a profile picture

[Hippie Staff]

Cowboy,

Click on User CP upper left hand side

Click on Edit Avatar

At the bottom you'll see an area to paste an image URL in. If you need to host it here, just email it to me at info@happyhippie.com and I'll email back your image URL to paste in there.

Libra & anyone else who needs image hosting - send me yours to upload too!

[crazylegs]

I'm not getting any area to put a URL in. Do I have to have more posts or something?

I think you new people cannot get a custom avatar until after so many #'s o posts. Meg could you look into that?

[Hippie Staff]

Cowboy is a senior member tho..and can't see it. I will get in there today and see what's the deal is.

[Unkle_John]

That's true, didn't notice, sorry cowboy.

[Hippie Staff]

lol I am at a loss!! you should be able to upload your own...

Under all the avatar options, there is a box where you can paste in your own image path.

Email me your image that you'd like as your avatar & I'll fix for you :)
