Do you have a normal size version so we can see a bit more?

acadist - 1-30-2011 at 09:00 AM

I don't mean for you to change your avatar (which must be tiny), I mean to just post a larger copy of that photo here so we can see the area.

Is 4 years the "over-under?"

I have been on this board for just over 3 years and I can't figure it out!

Will trade Pacifico's for this secretive society who knows not only how to post an avatar, but photo's as well. Will throw in a couple of shots of Till Kill Ya for answers to both. Will be in Loreto from 2/2/11 - 2/10/11 and can be schooled at any cantina there. :lol:

Part 2

1. You need to upload your avatar to a location like your Facebook page and locate it in the 'photos' section of your account. Go to step 2 if you don't have a Facebook account.

2. Create Facebook account

3. Upload an avatar you design from your Microsoft Paint program. Save the image as a .jpg image while in Microsoft Paint. Make sure the avatar image is under 150x150 pixels in size in order for the image to fit. My avatar is 131x91 pixels. The sample avatar is 31x48 pixels sample avatar

I'm still trying and I won't give up.

BigOly - 1-30-2011 at 04:44 PM

I've edited my profile 3 times now adding a photo that is in photobucket, resized. Message says I have successfully edited my profile. So maybe this new avatar takes time to show up?

No, your avatar is instant. Something isn't working with your photobucket image.

acadist - 1-30-2011 at 06:51 PM

Had the same problem yesterday, a little persistance and I finally got it
