I still cant figure out how to put an avatar up?? (Come here for an easy step by step)

If like me you get all confused when trying to read a "how to" and end up more confused that when you first started ..... Then your in the right place!!!! lol I put my hands up and say unless its explained to me like im just out of pre school then i just dont get it

So I though i may be the best person to help all those un techie members like myself out there by explaining it in nice easy steps,

Have a go! and let me know how you get on




look for member tools,

then click to find "media portal" sign in with your ATS name and pass word,

Then go to personal upload,

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/f86dab9ed445.jpg[/atsimg]

You will then see the upload box

Once you picture is uploaded,
Click on it!

Then you will see a box underneath,

Copy and paste the *use as ATS avatar"

Then go in to the member tools here on the ATS Board and click "Account settings"

There you will see a "Avatar url" box, paste it in to that, and hit submit

Thank you... I THOUGHT that's how you do it.

thanks for posting...i had an avatar once...months ago, but couldn't figure how to resize to the proper "avatar size" (like right now too)
a work in progress

ATS does not have an image re sizer but you could use one of many free ones out there like
www.picresize.com...

Then just save the image to your computer and go through the upload process.

Thanks a lot! I will resize my image in paint shop. I've been meaning to read the actual Avatar tips but this sure beats them!

but how do you know what the required ....whatever 340 x 160 pixels equals?

hold on, one of the stickers on my helmet fell off....

I think it is something like 180x360

reply to post by asala


Actually is 170 x 240 now for avatars and 180 x 400-480 for backgrounds as per New Rules for Avatars and Mini-Profile Background
