Avatars - Need to Upload

Post by **wangi** » 16 Mar 2005, 11:35

Folks, in the last week or so I eventually got round to fixing the ability to upload avatar images to the site... We're going to switch off the linking to remote avatars (what everyone is using just now) next Wednesday. So, can you edit your profile and upload the avatar you're currently using.

And remember...

Oh dear, I don't understand the lingo, sorry

. I've recently worked out how to store my avatars on photobucket. Will this now not work after Wednesday?

That's right DG - it will not work after wednesday. However uploading the avatars to the site is much easier than the current mess...

It's now (click image for larger diagram):

As an alternative you can enter the URL where the imge is currently stored (on photobucket) into the Upload Avatar from a URL field and it ill download the image from there and upload it to Portobello Online...

A final reminder to everyone that wangi will be flicking the big switch that will delete your remotely-linked avatar tomorrow.

I can't get mine small enough to fit. I've tried.

Could some clever person please shrink Bellybabe by 12 pixels in height, quickly before she disappears for ever?
