why does my avatar not show up?

[robin wood]

been posting here for a while and thought it was about time I sorted an avatar out, selected and uploaded at 200 pix wide 125KB the went back and resized and saved pic for web its now 100 wide x 107 high and 4KB uploaded it again and tried another post but still no avatar, it is there top left corner of the page now under "login" but does not apear on posts?
I am a bit of a computer ludite so I am probably doing (or not doing) something obvious.

I think it is the size mate - it needs to be no larger than 100 x 100 ;)

[robin wood]

thanks for that I have resized to 100x100 1.5KB lets see if I apear?

On the "upload image" bit on the edit profile page it says

"Your image file can be maximum (width x height - size): 200x500 - 100 KB"

[robin wood]

nope still not there..as I said I am probably doing something daft. I'll stick the image on photobucket and post it here just in case that helps anyone sus what I am doing wrong. Image is now 100pix by 100 pix, I go on the "My profile" page, click edit then update image, choose then upload. Do I have to do anything else?

anyway here i am

I'm having the same problem. I finally loaded a picture, made sure of the size (I think/hope), but can't find where to edit the avatar.

I've gone to the User menu, My Profile, and to Edit. But I don't see the Avatar edit function anywhere.

I may be "slow of mind", but even so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something somewhere.

Any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

At the top of the page, where you have the new posts link, look to the left for User CP. Ckick that and the Edit Avatar, it is in the menu that is on the left hand side of the window that opens, but not in the site menu that is always there.

As Spamel says, then at the bottom of the Edit Avatar screen go to option 2, then "browse" to the location of your piccy.

My avatar was massive, but it automatically resized it.

Many thanks for thy assistance.

I was just looking in the wrong place - down the left side of the page and in Edit Profile.

Wow --- another Tool Bar to explore!
