Avatar?

[Anonymous]

Evening all,

I've been trying to insert my avatar ever since returning to this forum.  When I go to update profile i've clicked on "allow avatar"  below that in the "Avatar URL" box there's some unknown address showing that is undeleteable and beside that in brackets it says (Remote Avatar Disabled)

I can't seem to get this to work.  Is there some secret handshake or yearly dues to pay before all of you can see what a handsome guy I am?

Thanks in advance

 Bruce- I do not know about a secret handshake or even a secret woid! Many here use Shutterfly for their avatars. The photo of you & your yellow Corvair would be a classic avatar for the forum Take Care.

I just use browse to grab a pic off of my hardrive. no need to post it on photobucket etc.

From CTT's FAQ:

How do I set my avatar?
If avatars are enabled by the administrator (they are)  you will see and avatar section when viewing your profile. From here you can complete the forum to name the avatar you wish to use, either uploading an avatar or specifying a URL to your avatar. You will also need to enable your avatar for it to be displayed with your posts.

Kieth,

I have my pics on Shutterfly, know how to transfer them and can ( at times) post them here in the forum.  Somehow within here I'm blocked from posting a pic as an avatar.  Shoulda spent my money on trains instead of on a new compter.  LOL

As you can see I've figured it out.  Seems I couldn't drag pics out of Shutterfly to use as an avatar.  As Paul suggested I just browsed through my personal files and there it is!  I'll change it later once I have a new pic of my ugly mug....for now it's a shot of my Chesterfield and Lazyboy RR.  Thanks Kieth, Buckeye and especially Paul.

   Bruce- Where's the Corvair? You & Corvair's go together like Peanut Butter & Jelly, Abbott & Costello, Rowan & Martin, & Burns & Allen. We want the Corvair! Take Care.

Wouldn't it be great if we could post attachments in this forum directly from our computer files as we can our avatars?  No need to use a photo hosting service...(sigh)

 LOL Kieth....you forgot Frick & Frack, Stan & Ollie and Oreo's & Milk.  See, the pic of me and the Monzta went south duing the great Webster computer dump of 2006.  The only place it still exists in in Shutterfly and as you can see it's been inaccessable to me as an avatar.  Gonna have to wait till spring to get another pic of me with the car.  Oh well, your loss

Agreed, Jim!....just a few clicks and you're done....no transfering, copying and pasting!

Bruce - Try pulling up your pic in Shutterfly, right click on it, "Save Image As" (name it), and direct it back to your computer.  (You might have to resize it to comply with the Avatar size limits)...I was able to do this from my photo host, Village Photos, on my Win98 box.

The rest is a piece o' pie.

Thanks Jim! 

 As you can see almost 25 years of marriage has come in handy.  I've become very good at taking instructions.

There ya go Kieth and Underworld  Yellow Corvairs!

Sure would be great. I bet Sunday photo fun would have even more great pics.
