I mentioned in another Topic, that you can load a photo here and use it as your Avatar. Just start the "New Thread" in this "Video, etc." Forum. The First Option is "Attachment"... BROWSE. You can Browse to find the image on your harddrive if you have a photo. PLEASE NOTE: There is a 1,024kb size limit (1mb) Once you Download the Image, resist the temptation to Preview it on the page - then you'll have to do it all over again!
Eventually the Image is reduced to 100x100 pixels, so size really doesn't matter. After loading the Image here, RIGHT CLICK on that Image, and select "Copy Image Location". Place THAT copied address in the "Avatar URL" block, and you're done! Attachments:

This was the original Topic that started this Topic: Okay all, Click your "Profile". "Modify Profile" There are a few generic Avatars in the "Avatar" section that you can choose, but they're not so great. If you DON'T want to use a generic, then leave that box as "none" Instead, scroll down one more to "Avatar URL", that will be the actual Internet Address that your Avatar Image is on, if you've already found one you like. But Probably, you'll have your own Photo you'll want to use. Just place that URL/Address into that box. VOILA! But, since you may not HAVE a place to put an image, you can place it on our site now, like Devil's Advocate did above. First though, go to the Forum called VIDEOS, Photos & Entertainment: Start a "New Thread" and place your image there. It can be a photo of you house, car, cute daughter... whatever (within reason - since these will be visible at all times, I will modify them if necessary - except the ones of your cute daughter... over 18 please) So let's say this image below was the one you pasted onto the "Video, Photo..." Forum. You would right click it, and then paste it as your avatar. If your image is large, then the next 2 lines ask you to enter a size. The MAX for either dimension is 100, so if it is wider than it is tall, make the Width 100 - it should do the rest. DO NOT exceed the 1,024kb size limit please. To see it in action, place your mouse over the image below, and it should show the Address at the bottom of your screen. Then Right click, and one of the options it gives you is the option to copy the Image Location. boroughvent.proboards.com/index.c....ead=33&post=223

Townie, is your Avatar a saved photo on your computer, or is it from the web?

Townie, is your Avatar a saved photo on your computer, or is it from the web? It's from the web. I was able to use one on the old BV but not here. I even tried to use a saved photo from my computer and that didn't work. I'd call one of our IT people but you never know who you'll get when you dial them. I can't risk getting the wrong person. This is the problem I think: "After loading the Image here, RIGHT CLICK on that Image, and select "Copy Image Location". Place THAT copied address in the "Avatar URL" block, and you're done!" I can't load the image so I can't right click on the image. So, I don't need no stinking Avatar.

Do a Google image search for the picture that you have in mind. If it pops ups in the search return, click on it and then find the image on the website and click on the image. Copy the web address of the image.
Go to your profile and paste web address next to 'Avatar URL' scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit modify profile.
I hope that helps

I hope that helps I followed your instructions and through the miracle of computers and your assistance - it worked. It may not necessarily be the one I wanted but it's a bull, it's blue and I am no longer blue. Thank you Mr. Blonde.

First - where did you get the video of me kicking that damned kid? Second - I loved Drew Carey when he was fat.

Venter - No message. What do I do next? The text 'Copy image location' doesn't appear on a right click.
