Avatars

[zerotone]

where do you get your avatars from does anyone know - HELP

[Ray&Sarah]

If you check out page 3 of this thread you will find a topic headed Avatars with some links in.
Good luck finding yours.

[zerotone]

Thanks Ray & Sarah As you hopefully can I see I have finally got an avatar - not many to choose from that hadn't already been used.

[zerotone]

oops just checked myself and it hasn't worked. When I previewed it it was there. Any thoughts on what I have done wrong

[blott]

It might be best to ask John or Roger to do it for you as it sounds as if you're not linking to the correct path.

Ian
sorry forgot to say try & select one which has a maximum sizr of 100x100
Kev[msnwink]

[mr flibble]

I selected one less than 100x100 clicked on the properties.Then copied it and pasted it onto my avatar profile.I deleted the http:
pressed preview,and guess what[msnsad][msnsad][msnsad]
nothing !
sigh

[blott]

Ah, I can see where you're going wrong!

Your link to your chosen avatar says http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/planes_flying_around_world_md_wht.gif

whereas it should say

http://images.animfactory.com/animations/*insert section where you found it/planes_flying_around_world_md_wht.gif

* replace this with the correct info

[mr flibble]

HURRAY !!!!!!!:D:D:D

[blott]

You're very welcome Ian! I see you're now busily 'zooping' all over the globe! [8D]

[KarenScott]

[:I]Just seeing if I followed the instructions correctly. Had no idea it was called an avatar![:I]

[KarenScott]

[:I]Hurray, I'm a fish![:I]

[Ray&Sarah]

Nice one Ian,

You now have an Avatar, no longer feel naked!!![msnwink]

[thumpertwinkle]

Hi,
I am trying to insert an avatar but having difficulty. I went to animation factory but all the smaller animations are only available to members, so I edited my chosen animation to less than 100 x 100 and pasted the url into the space in my profile, but, nothing appeared.[msncry]

I have saved the edited version to my pc, can I use it from there?

Help please![msnsmile2]

[blott]

It has to be on a web page somewhere for it to work so saving it on your PC won't work.

Ian's whizzy planes one is 96 x 96 and was on the free section! If you find one you like in the free part, tell me the address at the top of the page and tell me which one and I'll have a go for you.

Everyone please note that this is NOT a regular service I'm setting up here! [msneek]

[Ray&Sarah]

Blott,
Could I suggest that Avatars was made a sticky, the subject appears often, and if all the threads were together, then it might be possible for the individual to work through and get it working. Mind you, I failed and had to get John & Sarah to get ours working.
[?]

[blott]

I think you'll find it is already 'sticky' in the Forum Support section.

[Ray&Sarah]

Blott, your right, sorry, I hadn't found that link before, must of found nearly all the others.[msnembarrased]

[blott]

No problem, it's a big forum and I've had a longer chance to practice getting around it! [msnwink]

Suggestions are good, keep them coming! [msnsmile2]
