brett_jackson 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'm pretty sure that if you want to use your own image, you need to have it hosted somewhere. Then follow the steps taguchi listed above. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 27, 2005 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yes if you want to use your own image (70x70 pixels, 5000 bytes or less) you need to have a URL for it (ie hosted somewhere). If you create a members page on this here site (click on the Member Section at the top of this page), you can upload images to a page and then use them. Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 So just upload as my "mugshot" with the correct size then yeah? Cheers for the help Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 yeah mate. you need to have a pic on a website then upload from there. thats the easiest way to do it Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Okay - downloaded a picture to the Members Page that is 70x70 pixs. How the $#*% do I put that picture in as an Avatar? Can it be transferred from the MP to the Discussion Board? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It is really easy, just follow these steps: Open in a different window you Members Page and right click on the on the picture you wanna use for avatar and select the “properties” option. In the small window that will open with some info about the picture, locate the URL address. It will be something like .http://www.snowjapan.com/……….,copy this address Go to your profile page in the forums and open the “select different avatar link” “my profile” >> “edit profile” >> “select different avatar link” At the bottom of the page there is a “use custom URL option”. Paste inside the box the address you have copied previously and press the “Set URL” button. That should do the trick. Good luck trying! Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah, this Jiji tried the way but it doesn't pop up. I think I didn't adjust the image size. They say it has to be 70 x 70 pixels? Probably mine is bigger than that. Link to post Share on other sites

Gamera - try opening the image using good old Microsoft Imaging and resize the pic using the pixel option, then save. Should be okay. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Make sure not only that the dimensions are 70x70 pixels, but that the size is also less than 5000 bytes, ie. 5kb. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Glad you made it, let’s see if the other old dog can also learn new tricks! Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah, I know it says 4500 something. Does an avatar have to locate in snowjapan.com server? I don't have a member page snowjapan.com so I just upload a pic for it in my web server and point the URL and saved the upload but nothing pops up for my avatar any age filters??????

gamera 0 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Found that even when we change the avatar by 'edit profile', the old avatar stays until we post a new message in each and every thread? Link to post Share on other sites
