how to change avatar

[leechlake]

I think it's been about 5 years since I changed my avatar I want to add a different photo. How do I do it? If it matters I'm using a Mac. Thanks.

Just above where the forum posts are find "My Stuff" then go to "Edit Profile" then scroll way to the bottom and there is the place to work with avatars.

that's where I get stuck, it asks to paste a URL and I don't know what to do.

Ahh..

Since it appears to only accept URL (other than the stock avatars) you need to have the photo uploaded somewhere, such as Photobucket. Then you can use the URL location of the photo to link it in.

I suppose a workaround, assuming the thread doesn't get deleted for a while, is to upload a photo to a post here, then view the photo (or, in Windows, right click and "copy link") then copy/paste the URL of that photo. Such as this example...

I will give it a try right here.

Works for me.

I'll change it when you get it working...it's just proof of concept that I'm using it.

Copy and paste this link in the url box for your avatar image location.
