How to put an Avatar on all your posts

There are the two ways you can make an Avatar (small picture) appear on all of your posts.

To use an avatar from http://www.freeavatars.net or other internet site:

1. Go to http://www.freeavatars.net or another website.

2. If using freeavatars.net choose "Regular" from the menu.

3. Find a graphic you like and right click on it.

4. Click on "properties."

5. Make sure the avatar is no more than 100 x 100 pixels.

6. Click and drag to highlight the URL of the graphic.

7. Right click on the highlighted URL.

8. Click on "Copy."

9. Go back to BluegrassPreps.com

10. Click on the "user cp" button at the top of the page.

11. Click on "edit options."

12. Click on the "change avatar" button.

13. Click on "yes" to use custom avatars.

14. Right click on the grey URL box.

15. Click on "Paste."

16. Click on the "Submit Modifications" button.

17. YOU'RE DONE!

If you would like to use a graphic on your hard drive use this (much simpler) method:

1. Choose a graphic from your hard drive. (Make sure it's no larger than 100 x 100 pixels.)

2. Click on the "user cp" button at the top of the forum page on BluegrassPreps.

3. Click on "edit options."

4. Click on the "change avatar" button.

5. Click on "yes" to use custom avatars.

6. Click on the "Browse" button near the bottom of the page.

7. Find the file you want to use on your system using the browse window that pops up.

8. Click on the file name.

9. Click on "Open."

10. Click on the "Submit Modifications" button.

11. YOU'RE DONE!

107,

You are correct that only paid members can see this forum. As far as what else I am going to do, I have a few ideas but nothing is set in stone. This forum will probably have a few minor perks but nothing major.

Whenever I try to do the avatar thing from the site you suggested I get this message: The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again.

What's up, Help!

Did you choose one from the menu of "Regular Size" avatars?

I had this problem too, save the file to your hard drive then put it up. It should work then, at least it did for me.

Thanks PepRock, that did the trick, bottoms up!

Thanks Birdsfan !!!

No problem
