Oh Boy! I'd love to do my own icon! But how? Please help a newbie!

daverint · March 15, 2004 5:45AM

Con40,

As an even newer newbie, I was pleasantly surprized by how easy it was..... The hardest part was getting the file to be 100 x 100 and under 10kb!!! Just go to your profile and at the botton is the "load your own icon" area. If the file is on your 'puter, browse to it and click update profiel when you are done. Almost too simple.....I was pleased to see I got it right!

Damn, I'm proud of myself. Not only did I get the icon up right, I stumbled upon my private messages! Now I can answer people from three months ago and explain why I didn't respond then.

CON40 · March 15, 2004 6:00AM

Dave;

Thank you... but that button is not available to me... I am on a Mac, and I have tried IE and safari... no luck with that upload button in either one. Oh well, guess HAL will stay!

purelyPSA · March 15, 2004 6:13AM

Conforti - I found my icon on a website, saved it to my computer in a .gif file (it has to be gif or .jpg I believe), then clicked "browse" under my icon in my profile, found it on my computer, then bam! it was updated. But he's right, getting it under 100 is tough. It wouldn't take the first bluejay I found.

yes, added my Herbie husker logo. I keep missing this every month!

My first unassisted icon upload.

How do you shrink jpeg to 100x100 (10 MB)?

Cool, I've been wanting to use this picture for a while. Thanks for the heads up on the uploading.

mikeschmidt · March 15, 2004 7:45AM

thanks for the info.........it took me awhile to get the pixel/resolution within reason, but finally fumbled my way through.

I like the kid pic's some of you are using..............helps keep everything in perspective, doesn't it!!

Oh to be young and innocent again,

This icon is a bit disturbing. I'm not sure if I'll keep it.

Hmmmmmm . . . . .

BugOnTheRug · March 15, 2004 9:33AM

THW,
it reminds me of those dreadful pop-up adds while surfing!

what program do you guys use to reduce jpg's???? i can't seem to get jpg down below 25k or so with my program...it's annoyed me for 3 months now

magellan · March 15, 2004 11:12AM

Ok, so did I do it right?

Where ya been GoSox?

magellan · March 15, 2004 11:19AM

I uploaded my icon, it said upload was ok, I hit update profile but I can't find my pic in the list.......

Hellllpppppppppppp

Bearsnum34 · March 15, 2004 11:37AM

didnt see the upload icon....

wish I did ...dont have a mac..not sure why..it only allowed me to pic from the icons that are already there

Jmnesq · March 15, 2004 12:40PM

This is REALLY frustrating. Can anyone advise as to why I don't have that button available?

RobE · March 15, 2004 12:45PM

You might have missed the deadline and have to wait until 4/15.

Jmnesq · March 15, 2004 12:53PM

<check watch> Hmm...still 3/15/04 to me... and I'm on the EAST coast... which means the 11:00 PM it is here, is 8 PM over there with CU...

Of course CU lives in an alternative reality where they receive a package of my cards on 2/17 but don't acknowledge acceptance until 2/28 and receive a second package on 3/3 but still ahven't acknowledged acceptance of THAT...

jimtb · March 15, 2004 12:55PM

Texasheatwave,
Your icon gives me the creeps...

I always miss it too. I am at work and when I get home the buttom upload is gone. 0/3

BugOnTheRug · March 15, 2004 3:54PM

Your button has been banned by CU admin due to previously derisive commentary

AlanAllen · March 16, 2004 2:08AM

Yes, they shut off the icon upload ability when they go home for the day. Usually 4 or 5 pacific.

magellan · March 16, 2004 8:19AM

Very frustrating, I had the button once when I first got home, uploaded a pic but evidently it didn't take because its not in the icon list. Went back to my profile numerous times to try & redo it-no button. I don't understand why this is even a problem.......any other message board I've ever posted on, you were able to upload or change your icon at any time. The process is automated on those boards , why don't we get that feature here? Ahhhhh just frustrated </rant>

1967topps · March 22, 2004 5:38PM

so..what is it - once a month is load your own icon day?

orutulsa · March 23, 2004 1:33AM

Upload icon day appears to be on the 15th of each month. On those days, I'm able to use the upload process to change my current icon, but no icon that I've uploaded ever appears in the master icon list. How does one get your uploaded icons to show up there?

FYI: It's icon upload time
