General Cycling Discussion - Posts

I want to put a picture under my name on the little post deals, can anyone tell me how I go about doing that?

You can change the avatar as follows. At the top of the bike forums page is a white arrow pointing to Your Control Panel. Click on that. Then click on Edit Options. Scroll down to the bottom and there you can change the avatar. There is a default collection you'll recognise are used elsewhere by other members. You can also create your own. There is a limit on the size of an avatar you create, so I think you'll need to create it as jpeg. I think my one was 64x64 that I captured with a shareware utility called SnagIt. I then saved the image as a jpeg. When you creat your own avatar, you give it the name of the file and it get's uploaded. If the avatar is too big, I recall getting a message back from the server telling me so.

I seem to recall a minimum # of post required before you could get an avatar, but that was long ago and I don't know if it's still a requirement.

Nope, there is no minimum requirement for an avatar.

EVERYBODY HAS ONE BUT WHERE DO YOU EVEN FIND THEM?

Go to your control panel, edit options. At the bottom of the page you can find the avatars.

PARDON ??! ;)

sorry!
I use caps for all of my work and usually forget to change it back.

ScubaGirl must be doing drafting, like me. I have retyped SO many posts because of all caps it's ridiculous.
:D
Yup, just checked the profile!:)
