Uploading an avatar

Hi everyone,

Please be sure to choose an avatar or choose upload your own.

To upload your own:

Click your username (in blue) to get to your profile
On the right hand side there is a “My images” box. Click “View all images” & then the “add image” tab
Upload pic
Click “settings” top right next to your username
Go to ‘profile picture’ tab
Choose “from uploaded images’

All of the pictures you uploaded should appear – pick the appropriate picture & you’re on your way.

If you just want to choose an avatar from the pre-exisiting library, just follow the instructions in bold.

If anyone has come across a more efficient way, please feel free to post it here

🙂

Hi Nik,

Thanks, it is there, I forgot about this function, will try to remember for the future. I'll press 'Post' again, it looks like a server error, as I received an error message 'This webpage is not available'.

Regards, Jake

Hi NikNik,

These are the instructions that work, but there is a 'bug' after the 'add images' tab:

1) The cursor does not show an active link (although it is active) as indicated by the 'hand icon'.

2) The new address in the toolbar does not show when over the 'Choose Files' button.

3) The 'no file chosen' is part of the active link.

Another job for the IT team!

Always happy to help debug! I'll keep looking for the little critters!

Regards, Jake

Thx NikNik. This worked for me (not quite perfectly, but blundered through. I think Jake has the low-down on what is skewiff. I'm just pleased to have finally got one up and working!
