Posts: 10048 10/16/04 8:51 AM Beep-Beep Admin	Tags : None Personal photo, aka avatar, shows in the profile and below the user's name when they post. These are 60x60 pixels by default. You set the personal photo in your "edit profile" section of your control center. To override the size restriction, after the URL for your photo, type a space and then height=X width=X with X being the correct pixel sizes for your pic. If you have any problems, post here or PM me! - zeph I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.

From there, go to the "profile" link at the top of that page, and at the very top you will see a spot to put in the URL for an avatar. Personal photos are restricted to 60 x 60 pixels. It's supposed to allow larger, but for some reason I can't get that to work right at the moment. Unfortunately, you can't upload pics directly to ezBoard, it's one of the pain-in-the-ass things about this board. I am planning to change over to our own server soon, and then you will be able to upload pics directly. For now, you can only put in the link to a pic that is already on the web somewhere. To learn how to do this, go to the Photo Gallery forum and read the thread there about posting pictures. - zeph I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one.

Posts: 10048 12/10/04 10:25 AM Beep-Beep Admin	thanks for posting that, jusalurker! I found out a way to get around the 60x60 pixel limitation on avatars. In your preferences, where you put in the URL for your avatar, you just have to add the height and width of your avatar after the URL, like this: httk://www.avatar.com/myavatar.jpg height=75 width=80 (I put in httk instead of p so it would show up for you to see and not make it into a link). So, just like that, leave a space after the URL, then put in the height and width like above (with the correct sizes for your own avatar). If you use this trick, your avatar will not show up on your profile or in your control center - just a red X - but it WILL show up correctly in all your posts on the board. This is handy because the 60x60 limit on avatars is pretty small and annoying. - zeph Earth is full. Go home!!

Posts: 10048 12/16/04 10:17 AM Beep-Beep Admin	ok, as far as i can tell, the link you are putting in for your pic is trying to go to a full Yahoo page, not just your photo. To get the actual URL of the pic (not just the page it's on), go to wherever you have it stored and open the page with it. THEN, right-click on the photo and choose "open in new window." It will then open just the photo in a new window, and the URL in the address bar at the top will be the URL you need to copy and paste over here. Then add the height & width just like you did here to get it to show up the right size (and not get mushed down to 60x60 pixels by ezBoard). - zeph Earth is full. Go home!!

Posts: 10048 10/30/05 8:09 PM Beep-Beep Admin	looks like the link you're using for a pic is bad... it's going to some hi5 page from your account that you have to be logged in to see... thus it can't display the pic here. Try using Photobucket instead, a lot of the people here use it, it's free. - zeph You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.

Posts: 10048 11/03/05 8:32 AM Beep-Beep Admin	ok that's because ezBoard automatically shrinks avatars to 60x60 pixels... to get your avatar to show up right (not all squished), you have to add this to the end of the link where you put it in your profile (leave a space after the link, then add this): height=100 width=133 That will make it show up normally. Also, the pic you are using is really huge, file size-wise - 213KB is a big file. So I went ahead and shrank it down for you to one you can use for the avatar, just download this and put it in your photobucket account. Still put the height & width thing at the end when you put the link in your profile here or ezboard will mush it up. - zeph You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.

Posts: 10048 12/21/05 4:46 PM Beep-Beep Admin	you need to get the URL of the pic, without any coding attached, just the plain URL. Then go to your Control Center, link at the top of the front page of the board. There you'll see a link to edit your profile, near the top of the page under your name. On the edit profile page there is a place at the top of the page to paste in the URL. Make sure you then click 'save' at the bottom of the page. Your pic will be crunched down to 60x60 pixels, which might distort it, so to force it to display at the size you want, add the height & width after the url like this: www.whatever.com/yourpic.jpg height=X width=Y Try and keep it to 100 pixels or so, otherwise it'll be so big it will affect the board layout. If none of that works, let me know. - zeph You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.

Posts: 10048 03/07/06 3:21 PM Beep-Beep Admin	ok first make sure you're putting it in the right place: under your account, under "edit profile." NOT in the "personal icon" space under "account preferences." Also make sure you didn't check the "private" button. Also, just paste the link itself, don't put in any of the "img" codes before and after it. - zeph What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?
