How do I...?

So, if I do not have 25 points that means I can't have an avatar also?
It's not showing up for me!

I really don't expect on getting a reply from anyone!
I want my avatar!

You don't need 25 points for an avatar.

It looks like your link is incomplete and that's why your pic isn't showing up.

When I click "Member Upload Space" it says I need twenty-five posts. Is there any requirement at all to have an avatar?

reply to post by Korhyan


Try using photobucket.com it's free and you get more space.

Is it possible to have two little avatars one on top of the other?
I think I have seen some members do that.
If so, could you please explain how to do it?
Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean...

A backround image with an avatar on top?

Maybe you could link to someone who has what you are asking about.

No, you see how I have the "powder" picture as an Avatar, I think I have seen members have two small pictures one on top of the other instead of a big one like I have now.
Thanks for your help.

I guess what I'm trying to do is to stack two small pics into one avatar?
Can I do it here or do I have to do it on my own computer and upload it as one file?

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Yes you would have to make your avatar first on your system then upload it to a host.

Edit
Assuming you are talking avatars, and not a background image with an avatar on top.

Worked for me, thanks mechanic!

Ok, I guess I am just a ditz when it comes to PC's! I have been on this site for a couple of months and enjoy it, but I have been trying to get an Avatar put up with no luck! I have tried ALL the ways posted and refered to the Handbook as well. I have a little white box with a red "X" in it come up everytime I try to upload a Photo. Dosen't matter if I try Photobucket or not. Is there anyone who can help an illerate PC operator? Thanks I mean, I need help.

One issue that I see is in your Avatar's location. The file name is "ats58810_pamm". If it's an image file then it should include a file extension such as .jpg (ats58810_pamm.jpg), .gif (ats58810_pamm.gif), .jpeg (ats58810_pamm.jpeg), etc.

Figure out what file format your desired avatar is, and see if adding the right extension helps.

P.S. The "ats58810_" portion is added by ATS; so when you upload the "pamm" file make sure that one of the above extensions is there at the end of the filename. If your computer is set to not show file extensions, then the proper extension should still appear in your member upload list. Click the desired upload, then copy the full address. Just make sure an extension is there at the end when you copy the location into your Avatar URL line.

When I try to upload the image for the avatar it says I can't until I have so many posts.

Am I missing something?

You need to have a certain amount of posts before you can use that feature.

..I'm not sure exactly how many it is, but it's more than one.

I get this message when clicking on the upload center link:

"jped62, you must have at least 25 posts to use the upload feature, you have 5 posts."

What's up?_javascript:icon('')

reply to post by jped62


It means you need 20 more posts to be able to use the upload feature on ATS's servers; however, you should still be able to use an uploaded Avatar image from a service such as imageshack or photobucket. Simply upload your image to one of those and paste the url into your member center "Avatar URL:" field.

The problem you're having now is that you've pasted the wrong url into your member center avatar url field. It should read "http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww336/jped62/Noname12.jpg" (without the quotation marks).
