Hi, could someone tell me how to use my own avator? It is a gif image. I tried copy and paste. How do I use the img button available when I post a message? BTW I never heard of an avator till I arrived here.. lol... Thanks for your time and have a great day.

Check this here our very own FAQ link about the avatar...if you need more info feel free to ask

You can upload and use a custom avatar after 100 posts. Until then, you can only choose from one of the 1600 or so that TechGuy has enabled for the board.

the maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 20000 bytes (whichever is smaller).

Go to http://forums.techguy.org/member.php...ion=editavatar after you reach the 100 posts mark to upload your custom avatar.


To use the IMG button in your replies, click on it, and it will open a popup window that you input the address to an image, and tyhat will allow the image to show here, as opposed to just having a link to it.

it is the difference between having http://forums.techguy.org/tsg/round/...menu_logo2.gif and

Well I just noticed this here...you're trying to attach an image to your reply, right? You've to first upload that file and then if you want to, use the 'img' tag...hope this is clear!

Guess you tried to attach a file longhair.gif in your earlier post

HAHA PVC9 You caught me...lol... I did try to upload the picture, it is only 477bytes and a gif file. For some reason I am unable to. .This picture is one I uploaded from another site and have used it in differnet mediums, so I know that the file is good. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks again, and have a great day..
