Getting the picture by your posting

[zingsheim]

How do you get a picture or avatar by your posting? I thought I knew how but now can't figure it out. Thanks!

[billyhallfan]

do you mean in your post or under your name?

 

 

I thik you mean under your name, it is easy, go to google, look up a picture, click on it and then click the full sized image option and then take that address and copy it.

 

Then go to brewerfan.net, click on "My account preferences"

 

Then click "edit profile"

 

Then go to my display picture, make sure it is unchecked so that it isn't private, then scroll down an hit save.

 

 

 

Hopefully this helps, you don't have to use google, you can just use anything you just need the address for the image and it is easy in google.

all you have to do to get a picture's address on a pc is rightclick and choose the appropriate option (ithink it's properties or something). with a mac, it's control button and click at the same time and the choose "copy address". alternatively, you can download a picture and then host the picture at a photo-upload site (such as photobucket) and they will give you the address. that has the advantage of stability, meaning you don't have to worry about the picture being moved or anything.

Quoth the FAQ:

How do I put a icon/picture/avatar next to my name

- click on "My Control Center"

- click on "Edit Profile"

- paste the URL of the photo you wish to use in the "My Photo" text field

- if you want other people to be able to see your photo, make sure you uncheck the "private" box, if it's checked.

- click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the screen

 

The maximum displayable size of your photo when used at the Brewerfan.net Fan Forum is 60x60. Try and select a photo that's roughly that size, as the larger your photo is, the longer it will take people to download it.

 

Also, try and use a free online image hosting service to host your image such as:

http://photobucket.com/

The image hosting service request is included because it eats up other sites' bandwidth when you link directly to their graphics. Of course, photobucket and imageshack are designed for this purpose.

 

That'll cease to be an issue when we migrate to Yuku. When we migrate, all current avatars will be copied to yuku.com; future avatars will be uploaded directly to Yuku.

The name of the option varies from browser to browser more than it does from OS to OS. But the bottom line is that you can right-click on an image and copy its address. In Firefox, the right-click menu option is "Copy Image Location".

 

 

Note that this topic is a perfect fit for the Issues Forum. Now that Brian has given us the capability to 'shadow' threads without breaking anything, I'll move it over there. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOP,

 

if you are trying to get one in there, you will have to make a whole new post, just editing it won't do anything, also make sure that the little box next to your picture in your "edit profile" part is unchecked, any other questions just ask...
