Custom Icon?

Is there a way to use a custom icon. I don't see an option to create/upload a new one, only pick from old ones. I feel like an old man most of the time, but I think I would rather use my own icon.image

    You can only upload your icon on the 15th of the month unless that falls on the weekend. In that case, its the 1st business day before the 15th.

    There are specific limitations as well such as it must by 200 pixels x 200 pixels and within a certain kb size.

    Do a forum search on icon or avitar to get the specifics or PM carolj .
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Someone usually posts a reminder on or about the 15th so you don't miss the opprotunity. December 15th is going to fall on a Friday so you should not get confused as if were to fall on a weekend.

    On that day, you can click on the Navigation: and go to Testing Forum to try out new icon to see if it falls within the guide lines.

    Nothing wrong with being old either QBertimage

    << <i>There are specific limitations as well such as it must by 200 pixels x 200 pixels and within a certain kb size. >>



    Actually, it is 100 x 100 pixels, with a maximum filesize of 10 KB. (Unless there have been changes I am unaware of).

    If you need help getting the picture you wish to use down to this size, shoot me a PM and I will be happy to help.

    Once you have your 100 x 100 or smaller picture with a max filesize of 10 KB, save it to your computer, and on Icon Upload Day, which is the 15th of every month (or the first business day before or afterwards, if the 15th fell on a weekend or holiday), you go to your profile and you'll see an upload box. You will only see this option during business hours Pacific time, on the 15th. Any other time, it's not there.

    I'm guessing you've got something like this:

    I wish I could load in my avatar, but the upload day and time is always when I am at work and we have limited access to internet sites (PCGS isn't one of the approved sites)
  • So get someone else here to upload it for you. I'm sure someone here would be happy to do so. If I'm online when they have the upload turned on I could do it. Unlike a lot of people here I don't change my icon so I'm never busy uploading a new one for me. (I believe you can only upload one file a month)
