Hi Kevin
Hope this helps got it from Jensis on the General Forum she is very clever. Julie
First choose one from the many websites so you get the right size, without worrying about resizing on Photobucket to get it tiny enough, ok ?
So ... choose an avatar from here ...
http://www.avatarhell.com/
http://www.avatarity.com/
http://www.avatarsdb.com/
http://www.avatarist.com/
http://avatars.jurko.net/
http://www.iconator.com/
Right click on a picture & save it to a folder on your desktop. (You don't need Photobucket in order to put on an avatar. You only need Photobucket for the URL code which you'll need for posting a picture within your post.)
Now, click on "forum profile" above. Where it then says " to upload an avatar, click here" click on that. Right at the bottom it says "browse" at the right side of a long oblong box. Click on "browse" & it'll show your folders. Choose your picture, click on "open" & it'll put some details in the long box. Click on "upload avatar" & it should say "avatar uploaded" at the very top of the page.
The avatar may be on all your posts immediately but sometimes it takes hours so please DON'T think it's not worked. Just keep checking at your posts. That's it really.
