I'm a bit crazy but if Kath fits in then hopefully so will I.

Kath- thanks for introducing me to Barrow-Downs! ( Do you call it anything shorter like BD or the downs?)

Hello, there. I'm Alcarillo, and I've been here for only a day or two. I've read The Hobbit, all of The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and I've done some skimming in the Histories of Middle Earth, so I guess that I'm pretty familiar with Tolkien's books.

welcome Alcarillo and enjoy yourself!

I don't know where else to ask this question, except on this thread. It's not really a topic of its own, you might notice.

How does a chap set up his aviator? Some are really cool...but I can't figure out how to put one on. If there is no easy solution to explain on how to do it, don't try (it'll likely confuse me) and tell me to figure it out on my own. However, if there is an easy fix, say it and I'll be more than happy.

Ok Folwren this be what you do;

Go to User CP

On the left hand side of the screen there is a list that says Control Panel

Click on where it says Edit Avatar

Then you can upload an image from your computer by finding the box that gives you that option and clicking Browse.

Or if you know the address of the picture you want you can enter that into the box that gives you that option.

If the site refuses to let you upload a picture it is likely to be because it is too large, your picture can't be more than 64x64 pixels.

Folwren · 07-06-2005, 11:23 AM

How can you change the size of the picture to make it small enough?

I too am looking for an avatar. I found a good-sized image on Google, but when I typed in the URL, I got a message saying that it wasn't valid or something like that. I also saved it to my computer and accessed it with the Browse button, but it still didn't work. Are there any specific avatar requirements besides the size/memory and the sort of file it must be? Can my computer not let me somehow? Is there anything I can do?
