As was stated previously in this thread, it would be helpful if you would post the url here, so that we may assist you in determining why it isn't working.

Ah!

My mistake!! Well, my Avatar is up now; after a coupla days I shall
increase the size so it'll fit in the space provided.

Thank you!

Looking good.

You won't believe it, but here is the list of buttons on the toolbar I see:

Site Home, News@ATS, ATS Stats, Hot Topics, Board Home, Recent Posts, FAQ and Help, My ATS Favourite, My Profile, Search Members, U2Us, ATS Chat, Submit News and Log Out.

That's it.

Anyway I will try the link you have provided, and get back to you.

Thanks a ton!

Yep - exactly the same for me too...can't find 'members area' or whatever either...hm..odd.

J.

Check your ATS Toolbar, 4 buttons in from the left you will see either this



or



^ That

Both will bring you to your Member Center

Might be good idea to make a suggestion that the "member center/U2U" button alternates the text between "member center" and "U2U" - so this way the "Member Center" is still clearly visible. - - - Then again, people complained about the flashing "You have u2u's" button that was used previously, so I don't know how well it will be received. Perhaps make the "U2U" part the same or similar color to the "Member Center" button.

Also, I have seen numerous newer members not realising what the U2U button is. Probably have U2U's piled up from the Admins mass u2u distribution, and possibly others.

*Shrug* I don't know...seems to work fine for the most part.

Maybe have a pop up saying "Click here! Click here! "

yes, it works fine for those familiar with it.

however newer members haven't a clue, except for those that actually read through the handbook, and other sources of helpful info, especially for the new member.

2 cents

i'm dylexic & schizo, so i might just be imagining it...
but i think whenever i hit the U-2-U button

what comes up is the U-2-U 'in-box' as the main focus on the window....



but on the far Left-side, there is the Black-Box frame that is the sought after :
Message Center menu of items...

if one goes to the 3rd item listed "Account Settings"
one can type in their signatures, and sign n their Avatars
also increase your upload space by buying more +10k upload increases


two paths to the doorway desired

So for all the new members reading this right now, the moral of the thread is...

Read the handbook!

There you go...click 'n read

Okay, I follow so far... (yes that is the member center)

Most likely you still see the "U2U" button because there are u2u's marked as unread, or u2u's from admin.

remove the u2u's to your "saved" folder or delete them, if not needed. Then you should see the "member center" button.

Hello all..I am also having a bit of a problem uploading my avatar, I found an image I like, I checked the file which was a jpeg and the size is in the parameters, I went to photobucket an this is the url I for the avatar-

I plugged that into the avatar box to upload and zerto results came back...what do I do now? Thanks

I think I figured this out..Thanks

Hello

Why cannot i set an avatar in my ats store? It just goes blank after saying purchased.

Link is here: files.abovetopsecret.com...

oh sorry, i figured it out. Tried using avatar url and not BG url. I didn't even know background images and avatars were separate things

Btw whats the point in me spending 150 points on background color, when setting a black image as background is free? Some kind of IQ test?
