Hi, I just can not seem to get an avatar to display. I am trying to select one from my iphoto.
There is a box that says Avatars file size must be between 0 and 6 Kib

What should I put in that box? Or what am I doing wrong? I see some folks have a pic and some don't. I think we would have more avatars (which makes reading and identities clearer) if we solved this problem.

So if someone has the time to explain I would appreciate it. Thanks so much ! :P

I personally used my small facebook one (right click and saved picture as a jpeg). If you have an avatar too large try reducing the size in Microsoft Paint (pbrush) and make sure it's saved in jpeg format as this has compression.

Hope this helps.

I just browsed to a picture. It is small. Maybe yours is too beg. I think you can have up to 80 or 90 KB.

I know what I can do, I take Mac classes (one to one) I will get my teacher to help me! Thanks can not seem to figure it out, but since I saw lots of other people do not have avatars I figured I was (am) not the only one that's stumped. On MWO it was easy to post it. No complaints, just miss the avatars, they are helpful to find a persons writings, and they are fun too. Thanks guys!
If anyone else has some idea, let me know.
What I am trying to do is import a photo from my iphoto. Oh well for now.

Hi all,

I just wanted to express my gratitude to marbella for making my photo work for the Avatar - she is wonderful, as you already know, or will find out soon! Also, thanks to all of you who have updated the Location in your user profile information - it's been very helpful to me for trying to keep track of everyone.

This community is just awesome! So glad I found it. Best to all of you. :D

It's the Marbella Fan Club! :D

Now, can you fix me so that I don't keep on getting logged out? Either that or I have to change my screen name to something shorter - pain having to log in 4-5 times each time I am here. Maybe it's my system ...



LOL, that's nice! I don't have much of a fan club round here... :D

I don't know about the logging out thing- have you tried checking the 'Log me on automatically each visit' option when you log in? That may cure it, otherwise it could be something in you browser options- it doesnt happen to me, so I can't really help :(
