can anyone tell me how to put a photo in my avatar. please.

It's the second Locostbuilders lesson. The first is learning how to use the archive search function

ps go to control panel, edit profile, avatar URL.

Step 1 - create a pic of the right size and upload it into your photo archive

step 2 - go to control panel and select edit profile

step 3 - the hard part - past a link into the avater to your pic in your archive.


will have to doudle check the link bit in a moment got to go and sort something out

Good luck

Paul

thanks but how do you get a photo into the avatar , where do you get the url from? cheers

past the link into the avater box when you edit your profile

mine looks like this and links to a pic in my photo archive

just change bella.jpeg to the name of your pic in your archive

edit - like the colour , almost chose that myself.

Thanks paul but whats the best way of down sizing a picture seem to be having problems like not computor literate, ha ha

Have you got microsoft picture manager installed ?

normally found in...

Start menue..

all programs..

microsoft office..

office tools..

picture manager..


If you have this just start it and then open the picure you want to resize - then there is an option to resize it - just play around untill it looks right..

you can also crop it first to get rid of bits at the edge you dont want..


alternativly upload a pic to your archive and I will resize it for you.

Photobucket has a re-size facility then save back to PC, onto LB and then use URL from there.

Hi Paul i've managed to work out how to downsize but where do i save it to or where do i go from there thanks again. BILL

Upload to your photo archive

Click on the picture to display it. Right click and copy picture location

Then click control panel/options on the top right of the screen, edit button, then paste the link into your avatar location box.

Upload your pic to your photo archive and then open it (double click) while it's open right click on it and in the properties box that appears highlight the url and rightclikck and copy. Then paste it in your avatar box in "my profile" area
