Perhaps we should 'photoshop' it to add a 'middle finger salute' ;D ;D ;D

Not my business Pam (and see separate post mentioning avatars in the "Welcome back..." thread), but your "defiant" avatar looks pretty good to me - and definitely looks like the photos I've seen of you!

Hi Pam, There are Avatar related instructions in my post (on this topic) dated 18/10/21.

There is one change, the text should be as follows:
quote:
Login using your 'username' & 'password'
mouse-over 'Profile' then click 'Forum Profile'
Click 'Modify Profile' then in the 'Personalized Picture' section
'Browse' to the required filename (in the Explorer-like window) and select it,
Then Select the 'Upload an Avatar' radio button.

At this stage you can scroll to the bottom right corner of the page and click on 'Change Profile' - You will get a green box indicating successful changes applied.

You can add/change other info as you see fit,  ie. Personal Text; ??Birth date??; ??Location??; ??Gender??; Website title - 208 Signal Squadron; and Website URL - https://www.marsden.me.uk There are two options for the last two items either none or both.

These fields are not mandatory.
unquote:

Hope this helps. BTW are you going to use the photo that I 'photoshopped' for you?

Cheers
Lee

Thanks Lee - and will hopefully update the pic soon as Sunny drew this year's "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year" card this morning. Problem is that we've spent so long at home on lockdowns that I probably won't be able to find a shirt!!! Stay tuned... (as I'm sure you will)!

Just thought this avatar would be more appropriate at this time of year!

Just reading Lee's instructions for changing profiles again and noticed "birth date" in the list of things that can be changed - so I tried it again because we'd previously discussed and found it to be not updateable (if that's a word!). And I'm here to tell ya that it's STILL not updateable!!!
I'm gonna dig around the avatars in the hopefully near future to see if I can find something new because Covid has made a complete mess of the Vung Tau Hash House Harriers as local social distancing rules have been relaxed to allow people to exercise once again (after five months of not being allowed outside), but don't permit more than 2 people to exercise together, and many stalwarts have left for greener pastures, so we're not likely to start again anytime soon - and to be honest, I'm more into helping Sunny with her homework now than running around the local mountains and then trying to drink the bar dry! So I'll hopefully find an avatar that looks as old as me but has a far more mature outlook on life!  ;D ;D ;D

I gave an incorrect instruction in my post regarding adding Avatars

The line which starts "mouse-over 'Modify Profile' then......"
should start "click 'Modify Profile' then ....."

Sorry about that

I have made mine smaller and not quite such a defiant stance.  I now have to add the required number of wrinkles or life lines then I will replace it.  By the way font size showing up beautifully.

Okay Folks, It's time to get adventurous with avatars.
The standard size for Avatars is 100x100 pixels at 450 pixels/inch. The MB is tweaked to automatically resize down to that size if you try and display a huge image.
Users are free to upload and display whatever they think appropriate for them - keep it nice folks.

Avatars should not be photo quality images of themselves or a member of their family. This site is not the most secure of the web, and those who are of a mind to try and rip people off can work wonders with a name, a location, a birth date, and an image, using facial recognition software

This how to add or change your Avatar:

Login using your 'username' & 'password'
mouse-over 'Profile' then click 'Forum Profile'
mouse-over 'Modify Profile' then in the 'Personalized Picture' section
'Browse' to the required filename (in the Explorer-like window) and select it,
Then Select the 'Upload an Avatar' radio button.

At this stage you can scroll to the bottom right corner of the page and click on 'Change Profile' - You will get a green box indicating successful changes applied.

You can add/change other info as you see fit,  ie. Personal Text; ??Birth date??; ??Location??; ??Gender??; Website title - 208 Signal Squadron; and Website URL - https://www.marsden.me.uk There are two options for the last two items either none or both.

These fields are not mandatory.

Have fun guys. My phone number is unlisted 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D ;D

More testing to see what is displayed and what is not.
