    Re: How to have my avataars........not one from the IL's list???

    Tara, you can upload your own image or link to an image on the web. Follow the tutorial by raagini above and you will be good to go. I think there is a file size limit(100x100 pixels? not sure on this) on the image so you may want to crop or shrink the image to whatever the max allowable size is before you upload.

    Once you login you might have seen this tab/bar in the topmost part of the screen

    <table width="100%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr align="center"><td class="vbmenu_control">Home</td> <td style="cursor: pointer;" id="usercp" class="vbmenu_control"> User CP <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercp"); </script> [​IMG] </td> <td class="vbmenu_control">Forum</td> <td class="vbmenu_control">Blogs [​IMG]<script type="text/javascript">vbmenu_register("vbbloglinks");</script></td> <td class="vbmenu_control">Directory</td> <td class="vbmenu_control">FAQ</td> <td class="vbmenu_control">Community [​IMG]</td></tr></tbody></table>

    When you click User CP it lists down various options.Amongst you choose the link for "Edit avatar".

    That page loads you all the details for uploading an avatar :thumbsup

    I think you didnt scroll to the bottom


    In the beginning you might see various avatars under the heading:

    <fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>Pre-defined Generic Avatars</legend> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3"> <tbody><tr> <td colspan="5">
    </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5">You may select one of the following pre-defined images to use as your avatar:</td></tr></tbody></table></fieldset>
    beneath there is another option as follows:

    <fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>Custom Avatar</legend> If you have a custom avatar and want to keep it as it is, leave the fields below as they are.

    <label for="avatar_yes"><input name="avatarid" value="0" id="avatar_yes" checked="checked" type="radio">Use Custom Avatar</label>

    You may upload a new custom image using the controls below.

    Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website

    </fieldset>
    Click that Browse button and upload the photo you require and click the "Save Changes" button to bring the changes into effect.

    Sure this works.Try and let me know. :thumbsup
