Hi all,

Sorry for newbie question.

I found a picture I wanted to use as my avatar on this board but can't work out how to upload it. Have looked through all the options in the user CP. Could anyone help, please?

Regards

I think the problem is you can't upload an avatar directly to the board in the user control panel, all you can do is host it elsewhere (photobucket etc.) and then link to it in the panel. Or you could upload it to a dummy thread and then link to the image there.

Oh is that how you do it??

I've been trying for ages to have an avatar, normally the picture is too big, format not supported, its cloudy, blah blah blah...

The fastest and easiest way,at least for me,is to use tinypic for uploading images.
