Okay - How do I take a picture from the internet and make it my avatar?

Ohhh I wish I was a computer whiz!:typing

Is it a picture you have somewhere like photobucket, or just something you found out on the internet?

Hi Ladybug! I was thinking about one of these: http://images.google.com/images?q=teacup&gbv=2&svnum=10&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=ISO-8859-1&sa=G&imgsz=icon

Quite easy just save the picture then upload it from the avatar section in USER CP.

Make sure the size in pixels and size in KB is within limits set by RR board. 100x100 pixels and 29KB is the limit....

If you cannot resize them using with a photo program direct me to the picture and I can do it for you.....

right click on picture
save in your pictures
open photobucket account
click "browse"
find picture in your pictures
upload to photobucket
resize probably to avatar size
copy your link to your picture
go to "User CP" here
go to "edit my avatar"
click the little mountain picture up in the tool bar on the posting area
paste the link to your photobucket picture
click "save"

What they said. :thumbup Except I think here we can upload them from our computer instead of having them out on the internet. Just needs to be the right size.

You guys are great, but ...I still don't get it:scratch okay...I'm good until the "open photobucket account" ..How and where do you do that?

sorry....I'm just ignorant with computers!

Forget that part just find the photo you like and post a link to it!

I can resize it for you easy enough...you can upload it directly from your computer to the forum to hold for you......

this is a nice one!

I'm rather partial to this one....resized, of course.
