Thank you Johnny Anonymous, I appreciate the help!

Welcome!

If you'd like your entire picture to show up in your avatar, I've resized it for you


And here are instructions to make it show up correctly.

First, open an additional internet window or tab so you can read these directions and also perform the steps. Go to the ATS page and click on “Tools” and “ATS uploads” then come back to this post in your other window/tab.
You’re going to right-mouse click on this image and choose “save as”.


After you have saved your image to your computer, go to the other window/tab.

You’ll see this on the left hand side of the screen:

Click where it says “Select Image File”. You will then navigate to wherever you saved the image on your computer. Choose the image file and click “open”. It will then upload the image to your ATS images.

A screen will open that looks like this:

You’ll click where it says “Profile background” and another screen will pop up.

You’ll see this on the screen:

Be sure to click on “Submit” or it won’t submit the background to your mini-profile.

Now, in order to get it to “show up”, you’re going to need a transparent avatar. Here is one you can use. It really is there, it just doesn’t look like it is because It’s transparent. I’ll use dots to show where it starts and stops. You’ll do the same thing with it that you did with the other image, that is, right click, save it, then go to the upload area again and upload it to your ATS uploads
……begin transparent image….. ….end transparent image…
Instead of choosing “Profile background”, you’ll choose “Avatar” and on the next screen, click submit again for the avatar image.

After doing this, it’s going to show the long picture as your “avatar”.

You may need to adjust your color settings on your text which isn’t too difficult.
Just click on “Tools” and scroll down until you see this:


Click in the box that has the code stuff in it where the header is “mini-profile text color” and a color pallet will show up. Choose the color you want, click submit, and you’re good to go!

^these posts are borderline spamming. the "recent topics" page is full of old introductions with you offering a service that could've just been offered through private messaging.

please stop
