How to set up your custom avatar! Read this!

[Wilik]

Custom avatars are in! Due to the version of GD (for those of you that dont know, GD is a graphics library) we however dont have gif support. You can use jpeg's and png's. Dont worry about size, images are resized to the proper dimensions when upload, but just incase you need to know they are 60x60.

Please try uploading it again, this time there will be more debugging information. Copy and paste that info here for me.

DarkPhoenix: Make sure you go back and check the option that has something to due with "Use this avatar" or "Use this as default avatar" - if you don't check that, it won't come up. ^^

[JessiA]

Also, from when I was uploading my avatar, I'm pretty sure you need to upload it FROM YOUR COMPUTER.

When I tried to point the Browse feature to the site my avatar was hosted on, I got a problem regarding the filetype, even though it was a jpeg.

I'm having the same problem. I select the button 'current' after I upload my avatar and then go back to the forum and it is still the stock one.

[Naruto]

YUHU avatars are back wuahahaha
my new can be seen here

You have to select the "Use This Avatar" button on the UPLOAD page, preferably before you hit upload.

[Gryphon]

my ava is the best here

[Legendary Nin]

I like the avatar upload section.exactly like old GW.Now I think its time to reminisce of GW old days,now those were the days.

[JessiA]

It matched with the old GW layout, yea, but it's really the website.

[villin]

Many thanks to you JessiA for helping to get my avatar up.

[Kagari]

Nevermind. I figured it outi/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[Raven]

I take it that you don't want the animated gifs any more eh? Hehe, can't say I blame ya.

It seems when you update your profile after uploading a new avatar, it will revert back to whatever original avatar you had before, because you can't unselect it from the combo box.

Does that make sense? Don't particularly want to upload my avatar every time I want to update my profile.

[Everon]

hmm is there a better way to get to that section. Maybe you need add a link on frontpage or something

[DarkPhoenix]

Whee! I finally got my ava up!i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[Karasu]

Jaay avatars again thanx..

[High Wind]

Ahhh... Now that i've got my avatar up I feel a bit more at ease...

Right now I don't really care about the forum lay-out. Gonna trust GW guys' judgement

And for that, the gloom deepens.


There must be a way of getting rid of any avatar all together?

I don't want that pesky lil' geek fouling my posts much longer...

[Aegis Runestone]

Help I can't get it to work! I've uploaded it and selected it as "current" but it doesn't work! T_T

It keeps reverting back to the ugly geek!

I was a bit confused for a while as well. Make sure that when you upload your avatar, you tick the box which says 'upload as current avatar'. If you don't, it seems that it never recognises the uploaded graphic as current.
I would reccomend deleting the avatar you have atm, and re-uploading making sure you tick the relevant box. Hope it works. i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

Thank you so much. I really dislike these forums... maybe they ought to try vBullten?

[Boogster]

Well, tbh, I don't mind these new forums. Sure they take a bit of getting used to, but in my opinion they are essentially more functional than the old ones.
The one gripe that I cannot let go of is the no graphical-sigs rule imposed by the admins atm. Their absence really spoils the atmosphere on the boards, and my enjoyment of the forums in general.

Wilik, how come you can have a signature... Please let me in on your secret... Man, this forum without sigs and avas is just plain... And plain is bad, really bad...

[hiddenpookie]

thanks!!!

[UrzaPlanezwalker]

nice work mods i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Mut]

doesn't the html code <img> work for sigs?

[Vagabond]

They disabled the img tag.

No Pic. Sigs Allowed

[JessiA]

Well, we had graphic sigs on this forums at first, for a little bit at least.

The few people who got them up had them, and the poor people who put them up right before they decided no sigs got their codes changed back to plain <img src=mypic.jpg>

There was someone else who had a graphic sig too, but he had trouble getting it removed, so he had it on for a few days.

I dunno, maybe it's an admin perk? i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

[Aclypze]

yay, i have an avatar

[InnerSakuraChan]

Don't mind me, just seein if my avatar is showin up . . .

[Ciber]

There's no need to make new posts to check your sig or avatar, it will automatically globally update all your posts with the new one if it's working.

[Nine Tailed Demon]

Alright.

[Pyron]

thanks, i'd never get be able to change the avatar pic if it weren't for this thread, thanks

[Vagabond]

My avatar gets disabled whenever i logout. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[Sharingan 3y3]

[Sharingan 3y3]

[Lego]

[PaD]

When you set up your avatar, NEVER click on the 'Profile' button on the top of the site, it'll reset the avatar :[

[Mut]

dude, my avatar is the best. my bread kitty.

[PaD]

Huh, my avatar is better then j00z mine is Buu - fat version , he kinda looks like me ;]

[Nine Tailed Demon]

I FUCKING HATE THIS! Says delete the avatar so I can upload a new, I click the circle and select it. Click delete and go to upload, says I reached my limit of one thing, delete it again and IT KEEPS SAYING I CAN'T UPLOAD!!!!!!!!!!

[Mut]

make sure it's a .jpg file.

[hiddenpookie]

[Koyuki]

Yeah, my avatar is up i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

Soon you'll see my ûber-cool sig i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[gokudagreat]

somethings wrong with my avatar, everytime i turn my comp off the next day the avatar is back to default and i have to upload it again...

[Wilik]

Everytime you edit your profile the avatar goes back to the default (we are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible)

[Hakeem_21]

why is avatar like this? And i cant delete it.

[Jman]

maybe you should try to re-upload your avatar again.

[Hakeem_21]

This happens when i try to upload my avatar agian "You have reached your max avatar limit, delete an existing image to upload a new one."

[Mut]

then delete it.

[Maverick-DBZ-]

Woot woot finall got everything working!

[Hakeem_21]

you cant get a big pic for your sig. theres a size limit. look around the forums and youll find a thread on sigs. if not im sure someone else will put up a link. im just too lazy to look right now i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif sorry.

-Edit: lol the thread was here in general discussion lol heres the link to make it faster for you. http://forums.gotwoot.net/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=8753&enterthread =y

[L8r]

why isnt this at the top?
do you have some problem with the sticky thing?

[sangai]

just gettin this back to the first page.

[Shadow-wolf]

Thanks

[itachi_]

I can't get a fucking custom avatar, it's only a cross when I uploaded it, and now I can't delete it..

[SK]

my avatar doesnt seem to be working, anyone else have this problem?

[itachi_]

Yes, When I uploaded an avatar at avatar.gotwoot.net, it became a cross and it couldn't be removed, therefore I can't upload a custom avatar, seriously, the webmasters should check this thing out..

[SK]

heres what i did to get it to work but maybe it was just coincedence. i deleted my normal avatar and uploaded some random one. then i deleted that one and uploaded my normal avatar and it worked.
EDIT: this should be made sticky

[itachi_]

But the problem is that I can't delete "my normal avatar"...

[Mut]

give me your password, i'll fix it for you.

Aren't you supposed to be banned? Maybe they're checking that out instead, also might be the reason your avatar isn't working.

[akuhidori]

awsome man!!! Customizing your own avatar rocks. And it allows one to fully customize their user name with a photo. Thanks for telling everone how Wilik.

[SK]

bump to the top since i needed the link i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif
