ScrapGirlsRo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Our new digs allowed me to change the avatar settings. You can now have an avatar up to 100x100 (no larger than 100 kb). To change your avatar... 1. Go to your user box, found at the top right-hand corner of the forum. 2. Select "My Settings" from the drop-down menu. 3. Click on the "Profile" tab. 3. Select the "Change Avatar" option. 4. Upload your new file. If you upload a 100x100 file and you don't see a change in the avatar (or if the avatar looks fuzzy), refresh your browser a few times. Your browser likely has cached the old one. If that still doesn't work, try uploading a different file, refresh, and then upload the file you wish to use. I went around and around this all day long, but finally figured out how to get it to work. Let's see your new avatars! (You can post here and show them to us, if you'd like.)

Julie - scrapaholic Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Way cool, I'll have to make up a new one. It's about time I changed mine anyway, it's like a year old already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherise Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Did it work? When I first uploaded it, it looked stretched out . . . but I'm hoping it's working now . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandiC. Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 This is great! I liked the look of Julie's LO Avatar, so I sort of did the same thing, not really a LO, just a background and a frame. Its from Paula's Botanica collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetaudrey Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've uploaded a new photo! I'm really loving the new clean style of the board, especially the larger photos! [{My advice Bobbie- when you upload your new photo and you click save as...refresh maybe two our three times after that...and see if your new photo appears in the box in the top right corner. It took me a few times, but I got it!}] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapGirlsRo Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Bobbi, The image you have uploaded is 51x64. You have to upload a new file that is sized so that the maximum size it is on at least one sides is 100x. Most of us are using squares. I'd start with a new image, clip it so it is square and then size it to 100x100 x 72 dpi, as Amanda suggested. Once you upload, hit refresh a couple of times and you'll see it.
