Changing Profile Picture

[PrincessSyd]

Maybe this is a silly question.. but how do you add a profile picture for the side bar?
I can't find anything that says update or add picture

Please help LOL

That is an Avatar so you need to go into the User CP and to Edit Avatar and you can add a photo there.

That's because it no longer exists since the board changed format on Feb 1. What you need to do now is find your user ID on the right side of the blue bar at top of the page. Hover your cursor over it, which will bring up a drop-down menu. Avatar is in the left-hand column, second from the bottom.

I just did this but there is no Avatar option in the left-hand column, I'm guessing they moved it somewhere else? Anyone knows?

I read somewhere that you have to have 10 post before you can change it

Really? That's bizarre if it's true!

Yep, 10 posts and then there may be a bit of a lag (maybe 30 minutes or so) after the 10th before you can do the avatar. Several features are disabled until that magic 10 post count is reached -- it's to prevent spam. You can head to the Test Board and up your post count if you wish.

Thank you for the information! I will go to the test board now!

Great! This was helpful I don't have 10 posts yet and didn't realize I was on a wild goose chase until now!! Thanks!!!

 

[LoriLovesMickey]

This is good info, I just posted my first post and of course wanted a cool avatar. Thanks for the info. I'll go to the test page!

 

[Mr_T_Rich]

Good to know about the 10+ posts. I figured there was a minimum. Thanks for the info!
