Rachel Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sunfish has some helpful information for adding an avatar in her topic, Helpful Hints for Forum Participation. I will copy it below. If you are still having trouble after reading her tips, let me know.Adding an Avatar:You may also notice that many members have a picture, or avatar. If you have a picture of your own that you would like to use, the easiest approach is to upload to a free image host online, then use that URL to link your picture in your control panel on DINET. Several free image hosting sites include: http://www.imageshack.us/http://www.free-webh...age-hosting.phphttp://www.imagedad.comAlternatively, if you are tech savvy and have webspace allocated to you by your internet service provider (AOL, MSN, Verizon, Comcast, etc) you can upload your images to your own personal webspace and copy the full URL of your image.Once you have done this go to "My Controls" and along the left hand side click on the option for "Edit Avatar Settings" under the "Personal Profile" subheading. On the blank line under "Your image avatars" there is a space to "Enter a URL to an online avatar image." In that space you need to cut and paste the URL for your image at your host site. Click "Update Avatar" to save your settings and you should be all set.If you do not have a picture of your own that you would like to use there are also some available on the site on the "Edit Avatar Settings" page under "Pre-installed avatars."

Sallysblooms Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I upload a photo and it never shows up. Not sure why. Used Photobucket and from the computer. Usually these things work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I know that in the past the forum settings have not allowed the uploading of pictures onto DINET (even though there is a box that says "upload a new image from you computer"). An avatar has to be linked from another site, and the link has to be a direct link (not an HTML code or forum code). The link will begin like this: http://www.

Sallysblooms Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Think I'll have tok give up for now. Would be so nice if everyone could get avatars. I tried it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
