Avatar problem.

Hello folks, I'm a new member here and I can't set up an avatar/display picture. I've been on my profile but all I see is sections to write, I can't locate any upload photo option.

I have set my avatar now. It should show up soon?

Thanks. I don't know how to do it either, and a video I found just went over everything quickly and the guy even messed it up and had to quickly do it over again. This should help, and I'm posting here to bookmark the thread.

I see. I've set mine up but nothing has materialised yet.

Okay. There is something paranormal going on here, it's been I don't know how many hours, but my avatar is still invisible. LOL.

That is funny...is this the paranormal phenomenon that you are referring to?

it's been I don't know how many hours

Just kidding...it should show up sometime soon!

Your avatar should show up right away. If not you've done something wrong or missed a step.

When you are in ATS media clicking the button to set avatar is only for the file folder in you media section.

after you upload your image to your media account,

1.click on the image you want to use.

This opens the image on a new page, below the image you will see 3 url links

2. Highlite and copy the url that is for avatar.

3. Then come back to ATS and click Tools

4. half way down the page you will see "YOUR AVATAR" paste the url link there and submit.

That should do it


Rules for Avatars and Mini-Profile Background images

I've wrote 4 essays on alien technology and even space time. I know several different types of alien races. But can't get an avatar up, nice.

I dont think mine worked either.

How do I resize the darn thing?
I don't see the option to do it.

As for me I can't seem to change mine. When I try to log in (even though I'm already logged in) it does not accept my log in. Which is highly odd seeing as I have been using the same log in name and password for years. So as it stands, I am unable to access it to change my avatar.

So if anyone can help me out here, that would be great.
