Custom avatars

Oldsfan · 05-29-2008, 08:21 AM

Are we still not able to customize our avatars? Mine is so small! Others have bigger ones. I'm suffering from large avatar envy.

Oldsguy · 05-29-2008, 10:57 AM

I think if you re-size the original (from your source) then up-load that one you will end up with a larger image for you avatar. If you have trouble, contact Paul (Omicron) but don't tell him I sent you down the wrong path.........

So that's the max? I was looking for that yesterday, but wasn't looking very hard. But I saw one today that was 144 x 110...

Thanks,

Paul

My error. 80 x 80 was in effect when I signed up.

Was going to try a 100 x 100. Got as far as removing my 80 x 80.

Likely there is some corruption left over from the "crash".

The control panel "Edit Avatar" function still says 80 x 80

Oldsfan · 05-30-2008, 12:32 PM

So, how does this guy get this big avatar?

I think he knows somebody...

Hey, a big car needs a big avatar...

Olds64 · 05-30-2008, 02:06 PM

Sorry, Oldsguy had to upload a picture for me with his Administrator CP. For some reason my User CP wasn't working properly. The picture we originally uploaded was REALLY big. Fortunately, Omicron resized it for me. You should have seen the avatar when we uploaded it. It was annoyingly huge.

Oldsfan · 05-30-2008, 05:47 PM

So how can I get my annoyinly huge avatar uploaded? I thought they were working on correcting it so that we could edit our own?

Paul

Oldsguy · 05-30-2008, 07:08 PM

Contact Paul (Omicron), he is the computer-techno-wiz-bang-super-duper-avatar dude.

I may put mine back up, after the problem is resolved.

FTW65W29 · 05-31-2008, 12:52 AM

I cannot even add an avatar. What is up with that?

74 Omega · 05-31-2008, 04:59 AM

Scroll down a little further on that page, Norm (see attached). Despite that, I was able to upload a larger file.

Yeah. How's come you have that "custom avatar" thing and the rest of us don't? Now I'm jealous of you AND Olds64.

That's it! I'm boycotting until I can have the custom avatar thing, too.

71rocket · 06-01-2008, 05:17 AM

I can't add an avatar either, green dot won't click off, can't reset feild.

Olds64 · 06-01-2008, 06:33 AM

I didn't want anybody to get jealous about my avatar. I know it is pretty cool looking at such a large picture of an AWSOME car. Especially when you are just driving a Cutlass.

Actually, if Omicron wants to decrease the size of my avatar a bit more I wouldn't mind. Whatever works.

O's_Car · 06-07-2008, 07:26 AM

Has a resolution been found for this, or is it that we should contact the administrator individually? I too am missing the "Custom Avatar" field. Hate to see the administrator bombarded with a bunch of avatar requests...

KeithA0000 · 08-19-2008, 11:54 AM

I can't add an avatar either.

Oldsguy · 08-19-2008, 12:14 PM

All I can say, (for the fourth time), is contact Paul and see what can be done. His user name is Omicron. Forgive me if you have and he hasn't been able to help out or it is beyond his ability or he has just not done it. Dunno......
