I need a new avatar! Help... please!
 

Basically... this thread is exactly what it says in the title!

I'm getting really sick of the stupid lemur! I wanna real Bear!

I can't find a nice one though... and wouldn't know how to install one even if I did :blush: (I'm being honest here about my absolute lack of IT skills here... please don't laugh!)

So if anyone could help... find a nice cute pic of a nice cute Bear... polar cub being my preference and post it on this thread for me....

or maybe some nice moderator or something could change mine for me magically over night...

or put a Bear as one of the avatar options... or simply post instructions on how (if I ever find a nice Bear pic) to upload it...

then I'd be eternally gratefull! :kiss:

Thanks in advance... CB

Look! You can have my Bear avatar by Jamie Smart! Close enough!

He's Bear, he's Bear!
He's made of human hair!
Punch his nose and his head grows!
He's Bear, he's Bear,
HE'S BEAR!!!

Wow, I've wanted an excuse to do that for a LONG time. ^_^

Sorry to be picky but... he's nice but... well... "human hair!?" :eek:

Yey! Thanks guys! :kiss:

Thanks for the polarbears Sligster! The last image is great.... it looks like one of te bears is drunk!... are you sure I don't know you in real life! :D

Oddguy... em... yeh... cool! Errr... thanks! I kinda get it... ish!

What would the URL for the picture be though? I'm confuzzed! Brew... maybe you could help!?!

Save it and upload from your PC if you don't want to screw about with uploading.

Thanks Hobo!... but...

Em... where would I save it to? :blush:

Bugger it! I'm sticking with the fooking lemur!

I'm seriously crap you know!

you save the images on your computer, to the desktop or whatever. And then click the browse button (found on Oddguys last picture) and double click on the image thats saved on your desktop (or in some other folder).

So any folder... it doesn't have to be like photoshop... oh! Wait there's a My Pictures bit isn't there!?

Oooops! I feel very silly!

If you go on the image it will show a little save buttom, you click on it, then click on save.

I kick ass!!!!!

Yey! Yey! Yey!... Cool! Yeah! C'mon! Yey!

Thanks Oddish!

I have a bear avatar!!!!!! Cool!

*CB does yet another dance around the office...*

Some one please help me out with the dancing smilie! I'm exhausted here!

Are there size limitations for Avs, or will it automatically resize them?

You have resize the image them yourself, up to 100x100 pixes. You can use something like photoshop to make the image size ;) .

Yes, but it has to be 100x100 pixels and only 5kb in size. So, if you have an image over 5kb and it's 100x100 pixels...it won't upload.

Ok thank you guys!!! I wasn't sure of the specs, so didn't upload an Av earlier, but I will now! :)

Glad to help. Can't wait to see your new avatar.

Cool, polar bear... You know they kill defenceless baby seals by jumping up and down on the ice on top of their burrows until the roof collapses and they are squashed and eaten? mmmm.. baby seal!

You learn something new every day Nate!

I think the ferocity and cold blooded killer aspect yet extremely cute appearance of the polar bear has made it one of my favourite animals.... I can relate! *Evil laugh... Wha-ha-ha-ha!*

and i thought i had problems......

I've eaten seal....not baby seal of course though. It was - interesting.

You can try a porn avatar. They are pretty good.

Let me think!?

Mmmm... tempting!.... but NO! :rolleyes:
