Where can I find a custom avator? Anyone know a good place to download one?

And if I find one how the heck do I get it here? Pretty puter illiterate-sp.

You can use any picture that is at or less than 100x100 pixels....HOWEVER the function isn't working right at this moment.

I googled "avatars" and found quite a few websites.

Glad to hear the function isn't working because I've tried for two days to change my custom avatar to a holiday avatar without success. I thought I was doing something wrong. Go figure. :D

Well, I'm going to have to stop smacking the side of my computer... I assumed my difficulties with the Avatar part of the site was its fault (usually is).

Especially since I sent an email about it when I first joined.....

(I am amazed, though, at how smooth this site runs. Don't want anyone to think I am complaining....)

I was hoping that it wasn't only me that was having problems. I've been trying to upload a custom avatar for weeks!...Thanks!

I had help with this very problem. Though we can't upload directly from our pc's, we can from a website. Here is the link to that thread, efiebke was very helpful:

I understand...it saves steps, that's for sure...and I hope this option is fixed soon.

In the mean time, if anyone has any questions about how to upload a custom avatar TO a website and then download it to here, PM me. For anyone with extreme frustration with this I can always upload it to one of my websites and then e-mail or PM you the web address for the avatar.

Jnette,

You can upload images from your puter to a Pic Hosting site (I use Village Photo and it's free) and then under User CP>Edit Options>Change Avatar you can put the link to your avatar from the pic hosting site. If you wanna try that, the site is http://www.villagephotos.com/ . The site does a pretty good job of explaining how to use it and it's pretty easy. Hope that helps!! ;)
