Daystrom M5 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Hello, Not sure where else to put this. I would like to add an Avatar to my profile but the only options given are "Enter a URL to an online avatar image" or "enter your Gravatar e-mail address". Can an "Upload image from your computer" option be added to the profile Avatar options ?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Do you get any webspace from your ISP? If so, upload to there and then link to it via the URL. I guess that's what everyone else here does!
Daystrom M5 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 I had uploaded my avatar image for this forum to my free geocities page. Now that geocities has closed I am once again avatar-less. I will look into free web space from my ISP. Why is it that I can simply upload my personal picture but need an IP address for an Avatar ?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Dunno, I blame whoever configured the forum software... oh wait, that was me Maybe I just didn't want people uploading avatars. I'm sure there must have been a valid reason when I did it.
Daystrom M5 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 I just noticed this under "Help". "Help Topic: Your Control Panel (My Controls) Edit Avatar Settings: You can view and manage your personal avatar from here. You may choose an avatar from the board's gallery, link to an offsite image (the image will be resized if it is larger than the dimensions allowed by the board administrator) or upload an image from your computer to use as your avatar." Hmmmm... I have another quick question. How do I change my "Member Title" as shown under "My Information" on my profile ? I will start a new topic if you want me to.
cornholio7 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 i don't think you can change member title unless you are either admin or beta team member
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 As a one off, I can set your title for you if you want? What do you want, 'Author of BurnPlot' or something?
Daystrom M5 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to put there. (So people know who to blame.) Thank you.
