How do you create an Avatar?

[chrismitchell]

I have a question...

How do you create an Avatar(I think that is what it is called.)? I would like to have one but I don't know how to go about it.

My apologies for sounding stupid, but everyone has to start somewhere.

[dimava]

you can open MS PAINT

draw one there (50 by 50 pixels)

save it
and upload it here

Thanks dimava

I have an image I would like to use but the uploading of it is a problem.

I go to the user options and then click on the button to "change Avatar" but it just sits there.

Any ideas?

[dimava]

goto Options at the top of this screen
then goto Edit Options
and click the Change Avitari Button
then click BROWSE... select the file
and click Submit Modifications

Thanks again, I am tryin that as we speak...

I think that it is something to do with my connection here because IE crashes each time I try to click on the "change Avatar" button. Oh well. I have sent a mesage to the management asking them what I should do.

Well it needs to be small in dimensions (50 x 50 ?), small in volume (100k I think) and either a jpeg or gif. Does that help?

[dimava]

the max is 20k

Hello Harry, how are you?

Unfortunately not, I have the right size file, but I can't even get that far... It crashes of freezes when it is trying to load the option after clicking on the "Change Avatar" button. I think that it is something to do with my connection.....

Damn.
