HELP...........What's an Avatar??

Post by Jan&MikeVa »

Oh, now I feel stupid! What's an avatar? Is it the picture thing above your signature? Is it hard to download my own?

PLEASE someone respond to me so I know this is working! I feel like I'm suddenly on MARS.

Yes, an avatar is that little picture. You need to edit your profile to add it. Scroll down to the bottom of the profile page and you can see several options for adding it.

Original definition:

avatar ( ) n. The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form. An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype:

Evolved definition:

Definition of: avatar An image you select or create to represent yourself to the other party in a chat or instant messaging (IM) session. ...


Good luck.

Avatar size

One other thing. Anthony has set it up so that the avatar can't be more than 50x50 pixels and not more than 6K. So if you make your own, use those limits.

You can google avatar and find ones you can use, but again, check the size.

Avatars

Hi Charlie Try HotAvatars.com...there's some good ones there. A lot of sport ones for the sports fans, just be sure to check the size. I can't figure out how to make them smaller to fit the size requirements on here. Maybe someone else can help with that
