Thread: How to get an avatar

Could someone tell me how to get an avatar on my status bar thing username bar thingy?thank you!!!

Here is what I do. I go to http://www.Google.com click pictures. And type in something I want. If its the right size pic, right click on the picture and go to properties. There should be a URL somewhere in there. Paste the URL into the off-site thing avatar in your profile. Thats the only way I can do as I'm too stupid to figure out any other ways. (There are other sites you can do this at)

i picked my avatar but it wouldn't let me paste my lena katina in the rain picture anywhere! Please reply back soon someone!

That is because this forum automatically detects anything, and everything having to do with taty and deletes it.

Your picture was most likely too large. Make sure it is 90x90 pixels and 6kb or less in size. And "Lena Katina in the rain" does not sound like a very appropriate avatar, by the way. What is a ten year old doing with a picture like this?

I really don´t like TATY, but i think lena katina is pretty. By the way i couldn't get to even get to my profile it wouldn't let me paste anything.The avatar doesn't show here kissing.Yes, but I agree, i shouldn't have her as my avatar. And it's not in the All The Things She Said music video, it just shows here walking through the rain to get somewhere(its not actually raining, but you can tell it has)

I don't care about two girls kissing. With the exception of maybe Brandon I don't think anyone's going to complain about it. But when someone says "picture of girl" and "raining" I tend to assume the image is not going to be appropriate for an all-ages forum. And you cannot paste anything into the profile. Go to the bottom where it has a blank field and a little button that says Browse and choose the file from your computer and update the profile.

I've been uploading various whatnot(Jihad guys, Soviet stuff, ABBA, etc., basically all my role models ) as my avatar but it won't load. I could always just link to my images account, I suppose...

Seems to work fine for me. Weird.

can mike just give me step to step easy, clear instructions!I've lost my mind

1. Go to Profile in the menu at the top of the page
2. Go to "Upload Avatar from your machine" at the bottom of the page.
3. Hit the Browse button and choose the image from your computer you want to use. Hit OK or whatever and close the dialogue.
4. Hit Submit. If you get an error paste it here.

On second thought, why don't you just give me the image and I'll add it myself.
