Old Blind Dog Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 How do I personalize the line of text right under my avatar? I notice a lot of guys have changed theirs from the automatic designations, and I'd like to do so as well. Been looking through the control panel section and can't find a way to do it. Thanks in advance. :) Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Under Control Panel, click on Edit Profile Info, then enter your text in the Custom member title text box, then click on the Amend my profile button at the bottom of the page :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Speaking of Avatars, how do you get and load one? I'm not that good with computers, wrong generation I guess, but I do hve one of the two I have been thinking of using if I ever got around to it. I've passed the 1,000 mark and it's probably time I had one. Can it be changed if nesessary? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 For an avatar you need to have a pic that fits (maximum is 80 x 80 pixels) on a picture hosting site like Photobucket.com. Once you have it uploaded there, click the "Direct Link" in Photobucket directly under the pic (not IMG Code or E-mail & IM). Clicking that will copy it. Now got to ARC Forums, click My Controls, click Edit Avatar Settings on the left side under Personal Settings and past the copied URL into the "Enter a URL to an online avatar image" space. Now hit Update Avatar. And - hey presto - you got yourself an avatar! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 After about 6 months with the same avatar, mine has disappeared. And when I try to upload it again from my computer, I'm told "You are not allowed to upload that type of file as an avatar or personal photo". Why? It's the same one. What happened here?

MattC Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 ARC no longer allows direct uploads, you can use the same avatar by hotlinking to a hosted image on photobucket or similar. If you have a photobucket account (or any other image hosting) just use the image tag for the picture you want as your avatar. Also, check the size of the image, if you are hotlinking, you'll have to manually shrink the image down to an acceptable size, otherwise it MIGHT not work as ARC cannot resize the image as it is a hotlink rather than an image hosted on ARC as used to be the case HTH Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantombullet Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Thanks Jeff for figuring it out for me!!! I din't even look when it came up!! Thank You!!!! Now all I got to do is to figure out how to post pictures for a group build!!! Edited October 12, 2010 by phantombullet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThatJeffGuy Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Now all I got to do is to figure out how to post pictures for a group build!!! Same deal...post it on Photobucket and then get the 'link' from photobucket to the picture....the text will start with <IMG> and end with </IMG> (square brackets not angled). Just paste the entire thing into your post and the picture will show up. The picture button does the same thing for you...it just wraps the <IMG></IMG> tags around the URL you give it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantombullet Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks Jeff, I'll give it a try!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
