My Avitar

Hi, newbie here. I am having a little trouble getting my avitar to come up on my profile. Could someone please help? Thanks!!

It's called avatar, might be a little confusing with the movie out and all but thats how its been called for a long time.

any way i can't help you,

You need to log into ATSMedia and first load the avatar into your 'my pictures' account.

AshleyD helped me, shes also great at making them.

I am sure if you ask her politely she can give you advice and help.

You need to upload it from your computer onto your media profile...

Step 1) go to ATS under account setting which is under your member tools at the top of the page.

Step 2) scroll down to avatar url and at the right hand side click on upload avatar

step 3) click upload photo and once you’ve uploaded it click on the picture again and copy and paste the link where it says avatar url to ATS account settings where it says avatar url and click submit

Hope i explained that well enough as well.

If you need it resize i can probably do that for you as well.

The link you're using is wrong. You'll see beneath the image on your My Media page (click) it says "Use as avatar" and gives a link. Copy and paste that link to your Settings where you set you avatar.

This one: http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/e5afc5dc38cf.jpg

But, before you do that, you'll need to resize the image. It's too big.

Hi there, i just created this template avatar for all anyone lacking an avatar to take and use, you can customise and position your own picture over the CIA bit or below it in the black space, using any really basic paint program. then save it.

Please make note that there are two different "sites" for your ATS stuff.

and the other is the media centre (where u upload stuff like ur avatar and pictures to embed in forum posts or share with members
this "site" url is this:
media.abovetopsecret.com...

each behave as if they are two different sites -but both linked together.
if your in the media one and want to get back to the forum, either deltet the "media." part from the url in your browser and refresh.
or simpler: click the "AboveTopSecret.com" white link at the top righthand of the page.
