how to upload avatar

[bhc303]

can I upload my avatar from my computer? or do I have to host it somewhere?

cheers

did you even look at the profile page?  :P

[bhc303]

yes, profile tab, Forum Profile Information, I have my own pic: "Specify your own avatar by URL. (ex: http://www.mypage.com/mypic.gif)"

no browse feature like other forums, do I have to host it somewhere like photo bucket?

that's how i do it too. uploading from pc didn't work.

You don't see "I will upload my own picture:  [Choose file]" underneath that?

hi,

that´s the way I did it:

1. attached a gif under "Additional Options" in my first post here in this forum (... and then there were three :) )

2. linked it in my profile

Best regards,

clem!

This is correct. One upon a time there was this dipshit who uploaded an avatar with a very special name to code inject stuff to the forum.

So unless you are in a diffrent group then normal user you cannot upload pictures.

And changing your name january why???

do u gurus have an extra(box)wurst?  ;)

And changing your name january why???

that was because i could not log in on ultra's bulk order Wiki for ultracore with my old name (schmöker), but you changed it for me, so everything's fine now.

but good to know about the avatar picture, i always thought i'm just too stupid to do it...

edit: attached new avatar
