Custom Avatars

[Wayland]

Hi,

I have and Avatar that I use on other forums (or should that be forii?)

If it is possible, how do I upload it here?

 

[tomtom]

go to user CP > Edit Avatar (left hand control pannel) > dot box 'Use Costom Avatar' > click on 'Browse' and select the image from the files on your PC files > Click 'Save Changes'

now by the looks of it you have tryed this already??

the file is within the size limits so there is no reason for it not to be working.. but its not so try it again.. otherwise you can host it on your web space and hot link it from there.

Your User Control Panel should allow you to upload an avatar, but either Tony has turned off this feature, or it is only available to paid-up members.

The plural of "forum" should be "fora", but most people would accept "forums".

I've got no custom avatar radio button and it does not seem to want me to have a generic one either.

 

[tomtom]

i just checked it again.. its seems the file you have attached to this thread should work fine.. BUT the one you have already up loaded for you Avatar is not within the size limits.. it is 118 x 30 pixels.. you just need to adjust that and it should work!

 

[Wayland]

OK this is weird... I did upload a profile image and that's OK.

As far as I can figure out I have not uploaded an avatar yet cos I couldn't find the button?

 

[tomtom]

your wrong size avatar has dissapeared now..?

do you have these bottons..

 

[Wayland]

No I don't have the bottom box at all.

 

[tomtom]

ok it maybe that this is for supporting/full members only.. or people with over 50 posts or something like that!

 

[Wayland]

Thats what I thought at first but then I read a message from Aelfred (Junior Member, 14 posts) and he has an avatar on show.

I can't even get the generic ones to show.

same problem here, no box for uploads

What are the benefits of being a paid up member?

Hello Outdoorcode,

Your just on the other side of the hill to me.

Maybe it's a Pennines thing.

 

[outdoorcode]

Makes you wonder

the page for donations and such like is working at the moment!

Thanks Tom, wasn't sure if there was a membership which meant you could have the avatar, images in posts for example. I think you are following me around by the way, first answering my posts on britishblades, now here

 

[tomtom]

im just so dam helpful! Welcome to BCUK by the way.. you should find lots of friendly people and useful information here!

The directory below exists, but seems to be empty...

http://72.36.134.230/community/images/avatars/

For example, if I try looking at
http://72.36.134.230/community/images/avatars/pool.jpg

I get a "404 page not found" error...

So is that why I can't load a generic avatar either.

Do we know if it is a subscription issue or is it just a bug?

 

[Ed]

I didn't think it was a subscription thing, but it may be. The admin will have to answer that one for you.

Please remember that the forum is only just back up and running and is quite minimal from what it was. Things may need to be turned on ..... a little tweek here and there etc.... before we are back to full speed

Please bare with us

Ed

It's no big issue, just one of those things that would be nice to do.

Do I have to talk to admin or will they notice this thread?
