Adding Avatar And Picture To Profile

[+Charles Street Gang]

Help...I know this has been discussed but I seem to be an idiot! I am so frustrated...could someone give me specific instructions?

 

I will be in your debt forever.

- go to your cache page

 

- click the edit profile link (top of page)

 

- scroll most of the way down the page - (just above forum signature)

 

- you will see two sections - one for your avatar and one for your photo -

 

you need to click those individually - follow the instructions and upload the image you want to use - you can have several items in each page but only one displayed.

 

on - now that I am in your debt - you'll get the bill at the end of the month

 

 

ps - welcome newbee (well after looking at your profile - I guess you are only new to the forum)

On setting an avatar:

 

First, you will need to save the image from here to your computer. Do this by right-clicking the image and selecting "save picture as". Give it a name, and remember where you put it. You'll be needing it again in a minute.

 

Go to the main Geocaching.com page, then click to "My Cache Page", "Edit Profile", and scroll down to where it says "Your Avatar". Click on "Change/Edit".

 

You should now be at the "Choose My Avatar" page. If you don't yet have an avatar, you'll need to upload one first. Click on "Upload a new image" to go to the "User Image Upload" page. Click "Browse" to open a file browser window, where you need to tell it the directory and filename where you saved your avatar image earlier (told you you'd need it again). Select your image file from the window, and click "open". You might want to give it a caption of a word or two in the next blank down. Finally, click the "upload" button to actually upload your file to the site.

 

When the transfer is done, your avatar will appear, with a choice to edit it if you like. Click where it says "my details". This will bring you back to your account details, so you'll have to go back down to where it says "your avatar" and click "change/edit" again to get back to the "choose my avatar" screen.

 

From here, click the avatar you wish to use. It will show up on the right hand side of the screen, with a "select Avatar" button above it. Clicking the button will reload the page, and the button will be greyed out and read "current avatar" instead. Then, you will need to click on the link that says "re-register the changes". This will take you to the forum login screen. Click on "Enter the Groundspeak Forums" to, well, enter the Groundspeak forums. You should then have your avatar.

 

Go to the "Test Posting Area" in the "Getting Started" forum to post a test message and make sure your avatar is working and looks like you want it to.

 

It's a bit convoluted, but I suppose it's done that way for a reason...

Remember that you have to verify your password when you make a change.

Cool, thanks for the avatar instructions.
