Re: New Avatar Image.
The avatar you're trying to use is on your hard drive, correct?
It probably needs to be uploaded to work. If it is uploaded, please tell us where to.. that might be the problem as well.

Yes, the modified avatar image file is saved to my hard drive.
Upload? Maybe that is the problem. I have been using the "Use custom URL:" in the window "Intel Forums - Microsoft Internet Explorer" which is opened by MyProfile\View/Update Profile\Select a different Avatar Image.
Do I upload it somewhere else?

Re: New Avatar Image.
It won't work if it's on your hard drive, it needs to be on a website somewhere.

So, do I have to have my own website in order to be able to upload it?

No, upload your image to the SE upload forum, then use the url it gives you for your avatar.

Thanks Gandalph
Don't know how to upload, so did a search.
For all the fellow newbies, Taz-in-Space had this to say in the thread "Eclipse Avatar":
Quote:
Kimball, the easiest way to add your own avatar is to upload your graphic to Shrapnel's server.
1)goto New Scenario/Mod forum
2)enter to a topic thread
3)hit post reply
4)click on Upload File Form ( to left of type in area)
5)Browse or enter address of picture file you want(Gif or jpg)
6) click on upload button
once you have uploaded your file, you will get a message with a file path and number that represents your file.
Use this path and number in the avatar URL area of your profile.
Viola! You have a custom Avatar!
