Testing out my Avatar

[KValley]

Let's see if this baby works before I try something more elaborate.

Ready, set , post!

YAHOO! It worked

[Lynn B]

VERY techno-savvy!!! I am IMPRESSED!!! :)

I'll have to wait for DH to help me. The instructions were as clear as mud to me!!!! :)

Still avatar-less,

[maizeyoats]

DARN....I tried to add an avatar and all I got was an x under my name......but then I don't know anything about computers. I will have to wait until help arrives in the form of Valerie.

[mightyh]

Does mine work? I may keep hunting, but for now...

[JulieM]

I've tried to do the avatar thing about 6 times but it won't work. I can't figure out why. Let's see if it works this time.

Nope... not even an "x." Oh dear, and I consider myself pretty computer savvy.

Julie,
I put this on another post, but thanks for posting the website for the smilies!

[greysangel]

testing ?

[kwormann]

now i am testing one I got from CL

IT WORKED!!!!!

Sue is trying to help me find a custom one, but this will work until further notice....

[Julia1Pin]

I'm testing one out - is it working?

How about the BB one? Is that working?

[funnybone]

I just put one in - let's see if it works!:D

I wanted to put one in from my hard drive, but we can't do that - yet! Until then, this one will do!

[Lynn B]

Just checking to see if my avatar worked...

WELL... <hmph!!!> it didn't work!
What did you guys do after you put in your avatar's URL??! What am I missing here?!!! :(

Thanks!
Lynn

LATER YET: Well, woo hoo! I got an avatar! I was trying to be ultra-creative and use an avatar from cyber-land, but decided I'd rather use one of CLs than be avatar-less!!! This cupcake was the closest to CHOCOLATE I could get!!! :) Fun and fun!

[Mamasue]

LynnB....when you pasted your url did you click Submit button. If the graphic was too big you would have received a message telling you that. Make sure that your graphic is not more than 50 pizels. Don't give up! :D

[Lynn B]

Sue,
Yes, I clicked "Submit". I don't know what happened??! I don't think the graphic is over 50 x 50 pixels... it is a tiny little PIXIE of a graphic!!! :)

I guess I'll have to wait for DH.
But thanks for the info!!!

Lynn

PS Do we think we may soon be able to use PHOTOS??! Wouldn't that be awesome!

[LGBurns]

I'm testing my avatar and my new signature. Still can't think of a clever title. Guess I have to remain a senior for a while (in college of course!) ;)

[gertdog]

Trying my avatar...

[Packy]

testing:eek:

[Melman]

Ok...I'm testing.....this is not the one I wanted, but at least I think there's a picture there!!

I *USED* to be a computer literate person...then the world zoomed past me!!! :D

[Laura B]

OK. The avatars from CL seem to work just fine. However, I cannot get the one I put on my website to show up no matter what I try. It meets the size requirements.

[Mamasue]

LynnB and LauraB....something is wrong with the custom avatar. It is not us. I tried to change to another and it won't take and now I can't get the first one that I used to show. It has to be something wrong on their end. The only ones that work are the CL avatar that are provided to us. Grrrrrrrrr

[Laura B]

Thanks Mamasue. I thought I was losing my mind!

So, it also seems like we cannot insert graphics in our posts either, because my picture should work in my post even if not as an avatar. Oh, well.

[kwormann]

Sue, thank you for your help today. Im glad to know it isnt me that is doing something wrong!

[LynnSC]

I hope this works! :)
Lynn B, I hope it isn't confusing that I chose the same thing you did. I am also a chocolate fanatic!!!!!!!!!:D

[HedyL]

testing...1, 2...3...

Hi,

Here is what my "Avatar" looks like.

"Avatar," another new word for me, I had to look it up in the dictionary, Here's what my dictionary has for definitions.

AVATAR

1a. One regarded as the incarnation of embodiment of some known model or catagory.

1b. An entity regarded as an extreme or notable complete manifestation of its kind; Exempler; archtype: An Avatar of Stupidity.

2. Hindu Mythology. The decent to earth of a diety in human or animal form. Used as a genetin form of the incarnations of Vishnu.

Well, just thought you might like to see the definitions. I did.

I like the first one the best.

My Avatar is the embodiment of a kind of food.

Ed

How do I do this, where do I go to find out? I have been out of the loop

[Mamasue]

Susan....go to User CP (at top of page); edit option; go down the page and click Change Avatar; choose one of your liking (custom is not working right now) and then Submit Modification.

[SusanL]

Thanks Mamasue, let me see if it worked!! Now, how do you put the info at your name instead of Senior Member?

[kwormann]

SUsan, also user CP, edit profile, custom user title.

You can add a signature line there too....ops, mine has disappeared. I need to put it back in!

[Mamasue]

Kim....you are welcome....sorry it didn't work yesterday but save those graphics if you want to apply them at another time. :)

LauraB, LynnB and Kim......I posted a new thread at Technical Support informing Maelynn about the Custom Avatar. :D

[SusanL]

Thanks Again Kim, I now have a line better than Senior Member, I have enough Senior Moments as it is... Love your signature! Now I need one, too!!
