goto update your account..(under your name) and select an avatar or upload one of your own...

[Bencrest]

If you want to make your own, it's best if you resize it to [or make it as] :

1) 120x120 pixels
2) a JPEG file [i.e .JPG]

[michelle]

i dont know how to do my own i jus about managed to do this one thanx anyway

[michelle]

ok wots wrong,i did upload one and it aint there !!!

[michelle]

i think ive done it now lol

[Bencrest]

Lol, sorry for not replying, been laughing at an argument over at another fruit machine forum

If the avatar you make is rejected, once you press 'submit' at the bottom of the page where you 'upload' the avatar, an error will appear at the top of the subsequent page, normally either :

'Extension .*** is not allowed' - if that happens, make sure it is a JPG file!
'Maximum filesize exceeded' - or a similar message, would mean that the file was too big. As long as it is a JPG and 120x120pixels that shouldn't be a problem though

If you do fancy putting your own one up, let us know

the moving pictures are animated gif's...

You can search for these using google and hopefully find one that suits your personality...or musical taste...or fave fruit machine...

you are still limited to 120X120 pixels but you can resize the animation in Jasc softwares animation workshop...If you have Paintshop Pro 7 it was included in the package.

[michelle]

Is there anyway I can save the fruit machine one I have to my computer so that when I send personal email I can put that at the bottom?

[DaemonX]

There is, but I think i'll let one of the 'more superior' members tell you it as I'm not sure you're allowed due to copyrighting.

it's simple if you think about it tho

Gifs are ace!!!

There was a reason for me making this post. I posted a few gifs for avatars but for some reason, they came up like 10 times their actual size. So I deleted them unfortunately.

Just 'right-click' and 'save picture as' ....... these gifs are pretty small though so I really don't think they will look too good as an attachment.

And nice Pic too CC.............First alteration since the Football isn't it?

djgaryc :- to save the gif, right mouse click over the picture and "save picture as"... :twisted:

[djgaryc]

Thanks for that. Only problem being it saves the picture. Not as an animation. Not even when I open it up into Paint Shop Pro. says it will only open first picture of the .gif
I'm not a computer wizz, so wont pretend I am by trying to make it work

[RB]

PSP 7 comes with a gif animation studio which will open the animation whole... there are other gif animation packages. freeware and commercial.

to use the animation in documents just cut and paste the gif from your hdd into the html based email document.
