How do I get my own avitar?

Post by grim_tales »

How do I get an avitar under my name like on Old Bullets? (I know Brad, Romero and Eva have one for example). :)

They used to have a bunch of site ones you could choose (I had the Turtle one :P ), do I have to select an "off-site" one? :)

I can't get my avatar to work either... It's not too big so what's the problem??

Everytime I paste the URL and submit the page resets and the URL has gone. Mordib, is there a glitch??

hi, well bizarrely i cant find the original avaters that are supposed to come with phpbb2, so for now Im uploading astack load of movie/tv related ones. Mostly junk but a few gems in there if you are willing to look.

as for uploading your own avatar, as you can see ive just successfully changed mine, maybe its a super moderator bug or something :P i'll have another look but for now do you want to give it another go? if its still doesnt work fel free to pm me with the link and I will do it manually. Iat some point the site will also be able to host peoples pics for use on the forum.

I still can't get the URL to work... but I could choose an avatar from the pre-selections. That Predator one is quite cool. May hang on to that for now... at least until any glitches are fixed.

Mark do you mean the URL to show your own pic from your own webspace? As that works fine for me.

Clearly as my ugly/handsome mug is being shown to the left.

Yeah, I have the image I wanted saved on webspace, but everytime I paste it in and submit, the page resets, refusing to recognize the chance. Still, I quite like the Predator one i have now, so no hurries to fix it... 8)

I thought that was Billy Bob Thornton from Bad Santa! :P

Hi Mark i'm having trouble recreating your problem, could you email or pm me the link to the avatar you want and also tell me what browser you use (brand and version) so that i can attempt to sort it?

Ach, don't worry about it. I'm gonna keep the Predator one I have now. It's pretty cool. 8)

Dumb question but you are pasting in the direct link? For example:

Right? :wink:
