lawnmowerman · November 14, 2006 9:06PM

psa doesnt open up for a few more hours ( 7am pac.) when they do Im sure the option will be available

Webhead1968 · November 14, 2006 9:10PM

Oh, OK. I thought that it was a programming thing that would happen automatically.

Thanks!

Glad I saw this thread...I need some help...

Been wanting to upload forever but miss it every month. Can someone give me a pointer on how to get an icon uploaded ? Is there a size requirement ?

Any help would be great, thanks !

This bring up another interesting question: is there a way to take a picture off of a website and use that as your icon?

ripkenintheminors · November 15, 2006 12:58AM

Sweet, thanks for the info. I now have an avatar!

<< This bring up another interesting question: is there a way to take a picture off of a website and use that as your icon? >>

Yes. If it is already small enough you can just right-click on the picture and save it to your computer. Then just upload it as your avatar.

If it's too big, do the above and then resize it to fit. I use Irfanview to resize all my pics. You can get it for free at www.download.com and it's a small program.

Edited to add: I can't remember if you unpload your avatar or rip it off a site that's hosting it, so ... Boopotts, if it's the latter just right-click on the pic and click on properties. Copy and paste the URL into the spot PSA is asking for. You may want to consider saving the pic to your computer and having it hosted on your photobucket or whatever pic hosting site you use. If the site you're ripping it from takes it down you'll have the dreaded red X until the next avatar day.
