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 80 x 80 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 80 x 80 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!

I have gone through the whole process and I then get a bullitin that says something to the affect "cannot find the image be sure you have a valid URL". Any suggections?
