I received the answer on another thread, that pictures
are not able to be posted on the site. It was just a
curious question.
I am not very good with computer usage yet, but am also
on facebook: tho' I don't know much how to get
'logged on" and to find people there. Just have to do
some exploring I guess.
I too have a little dog: 1/2 chihuahua,1/2 King Chas.
Spaniel Cavalier: so QUESTION: how can I get a picture
of her as an avatar? I have a number of pictures in my
own "pictures" section on my computer.
If you don't know, that is OK.

Well Luke, first of all it's not true you can't post pictures. You can, but it is iffy and as I remember a bit counterintuitive. I admit if I were do one now I'd have to look up a post where it was already done and try to mimic the method, because the IMG button doesn't work straightforwardly...

Howsomever, getting your avatar up will be behind the Profile link, the same place you would have listed the Frozen Wastes. I believe you have to link an image from another site (i.e. you can't just upload one unfortunately, AFAIK). And that also means if that referenced site goes down or changes, your icon will disappear.

If anyone knows a method to simply upload an image, please post. Maybe it could be one of these upgrades.

Will have to get back to you on photos within a post. Unless somebody else does.

PS can I put in a request to all to honor the thread topic and place entries in appropriate threads.. tnx :)
Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots! Knife no one, fink!

Hey, I appreciate it.
I know it says enter URL to post avatar. I think that is
an address of some sort, but I don't know what to use.
Perhaps Google images????
Thanks for trying.
I am not too interested in posting pictures, once in awhile
it came up, on the site I came from, when we were
discussing something other that words, probably.
So it was just a curiosity. I would like to put something
as an avatar. I see some have their pets, for instance,
SCW1712 (?) has hers, and I have a pup I could post.
Just seems to "personalize" the thing a bit, but I could
find something on Google Images too if that is a URL.
Thanks for helping out: I await eagerly anything you find.
