Idiot's Guide to posting photos please!

[Camster0307]

Oh lord - for the life of me, I CANNOT figure out how to get this custom avatar to work. And I apologize for always running over here for help!

This is the image I want as my new avatar; I resized it on photobucket to the "tiny" preset size(not sure if I was supposed to):

Here is the image as it was originally downloaded to photobucket:

Can someone please help me -- again?

 

[Camster0307]

Bump.

Can anyone help?

I am out of town now, and do not have access to my Photoshop. When I return, if it is still needing to be sized, I will do then. Besides the dimensions, less than 100 X 100, (you are fine there), it also has to be under 4K (extremely small). Not sure why they allow such HUGE signatures, and such small avatars.

Thanks Dan - I believe you were also the kind DISer who helped me the last time. Since I spent a frustrating hour yesterday trying to do this to no avail, I will patiently wait for your help when you return.

Thanks again!

Looks like you are linking to a page rather than a photo. Also, you have an extra http:// in that link.

Suggestion, try using www.photobucket.com to host a picture you want to link to here, works VERY well and easy too.

Thanks for resizing for me Dan. I'm still not getting it to work though. I've copied code but on what line should I paste it? I'm assuming the first line in the "use custom avatar" section? It's not working there or the second line, for that matter.

Save it to your PC, then when doing the avatar, browse to the file on your PC and upload.

Oh good grief! Now why didn't I think of that!

As you can see, I got it!

THANK YOU DAN!

I feel like everytime I post a pic, it is way too huge. I'll try again.

Still huge. I think I'm doomed to have huge pictures on the DIS for life!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Use the 'Edit' function on Photobucket to resize pictures. Best size for the boards and people's monitors seems to be 640 X 480. Give it a try, let's see how you do. Also, you do not have to use the img function here

since when you copy the img code line in Photobucket, it already adds the image tags

for you. If you use the

here, you get an extra set, as you can see in your picture above.

Looks like you are linking to a whole page. If you have photos uploaded there, copy the code line with the img in it and paste here.
