Can anybody out there tell me how to post my picture/avatar on YWO. I went into my author's bio, etc. but didn't see where this can be done. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Tom.

Go into My Profile on the Message Board. The options for posting an avatar are on there.

You might have to fiddle with the picture size to get it to work. I had a bit of difficulty with mine (but then, I am a hopeless luddite with these things!)

Click - My Profile (which is towards the top right of screen)
That will take you to your profile page.

Click - Avatar (left hand side of screen about 3rd of way down)

On the next page that comes up, towards the bottom page there is a white box with a browse button next to it, click - browse and navigate to the picture you want to upload from your computer.

Finally click - upload.

That should be it, done!

Try to get your avatar to be 100 X 100 pixels before you upload, otherwise, you may get an error.

Nothing to say - just want to see if my avatar works. Thanks for info. Tom it seems to make a difference if you start with a square jpg i.e width and height the same.

Thanks again Turnip and Stjerome. The missus and I tried but couldn't get the avatar up there. We'll give it another whirl when I can muster up the time and patience.

You have to make sure the avatar is exactly 100 x 100 pixels, not one pixel more (or less).
