how do i change my avatar? i uploaded a new picture on my control panel but the new avatar is not posting.

I had the same problem. I had to save my Avatar onto photobucket (free) and then post the URL link. I couldn't upload direct from my computer!

Hope this helps.

thank you for the idea but that is way outside of my skill level. i am going to give it the old college try though thanks

How come Im the only BM that has a warning line in my avator? Do I need to get a warning?

Your not. We all have them. Only you can see your own warning levels.

thanks manggaawn, and I thought I was special!

so did I
thought i must have done something wrong without knowing it
just goes to show that its worth taking the time to explore all the areas of the board
especially for someone like me with no experience of using them
thanks for this post

I loaded a gif as my avatar, but the animation is not running. Anyone know why?? I loaded the same thing as my personal pic and it works fine. Sorry- it's probably simple - but then again so am I.

A bit off topic, but I have noticed many members have funny animations and gif avatars, is there a website I can download these from...or are just all the people here extremely talented and makes these themselves?

Thanks.

BJ.

Today I uploaded a new avatar with no problem and it changed. when I went to work and logged on my avatar was the old one I had. I am now back home and the new one is showing. Why did this happen when I logged onto a different computer that I did not upload the avatar on?

Thanks

It was cached on your work PC. Clear your browser cache, the new pic will then be displayed.

Cheers
