Avatar help

Obviously, I am not the only one with this issue. Makes me feel better. I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong.

How do I even go about adding a custom avatar? Before I just chose one from the ones that they offered.

You need to save the photo to your computer and upload from there. Just Google whatever image it is that you're looking for.

Also, I posted on another thread that I was finally able to get my avatar to show by uploading it in the "personal details" section rather than "avatar". Right click user name, personal details is the first link on the left-hand side. I hope that works for others as well.

mine was messed up yesterday but looks to be fine now...I guess we'll see when I click post reply. If it's Ray the firefly it's fixed, if it's still Anna it's still messed up...

Ok, so what do I do from there? I can see where I have saved it, but how do I transfer it to the grey square? I am very computer illiterate. Please help!

Wow that was way more complicated than it should have been. Hopefully this new format grows on me, cause I'm not loving it, I'm not going to lie.

I copied a picture to my picture files that I found when I did a Google search of disney avatars. Then on the DIS I went to my personal profile page and from the drop down menu clicked avatar. I then clicked on the choice for adding image from file and I then had to choose from my personal photo files. Then you may or may not be left with the same problem the rest of us have, which is getting the image to display with posts. Hope this helps.

It worked. Thank you for your help. Hopefully everyone else will notice your post.

I finally got my avatar changed but can't figure out how to change "DIS Veteran" which isn't a big deal but I like how people have custom ones.

Top right corner of the screen, click on your username, then select Personal Details. It's the box under your avatar that says Custom Title

I used a picture from my computer. I can see it when go to the avatar section but, it's not accompanying my posts when I read them from my Kindle fire.

For all the posts here with blank avatars, I was able to save your avatar images locally and reupload them. Looks like they're all visible now, so I think whatever was causing the issue is now fixed!

Hover over your user name in the upper right-hand corner of the page, and select "Personal Details". Right under where you change your Avatar is "Custom Title". You can edit your custom title right there. Be sure & Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

When I click on the symbol in the avatar box

It says I don't have access - I'm thinking it's because I'm new so....

 

[Vegasnine]

I'm trying to get to 10 posts...

 

[Vegasnine]

I hope this isn't too annoying....

I want to add an avatar photo and a signature but I'm thinking....

 

[Vegasnine]

that it's related to not having enough posts....

One more to go - if I'm missing anything else, please let me know. I'm looking forward to figuring out the boards.

I was wondering the same thing! Can't get a custom avatar or signature at this point but having a hard time navigating the rules as to when I gain more access. Will try to post to some more topics and see if that fixes the issue!
