Anyone know how to set this up on a iMac?

MilkmanDan · January 16, 2012 7:33AM

I assume this is in the profile section? I don't see it, is there a minimum number of posts one needs before this becomes available? TIA.

<< Anyone know how to set this up on a iMac? >>

On a Mac, you have two options:

1) See this thread for a link to install the Opera browser. It will allow you to upload your own icon on a Mac.

2) Email the icon you'd like to use to someone with a PC and have them upload it for you, then choose it yourself once it's been uploaded.

I have windows on my iMac, do you have the program?
Then you can just do it on the windows side

Nevermind, I'm on a mac and for some reason it only works with the Opera browser. Lame, but I figured it out.

I have found "paint" under "Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint" to be good for saving the 100 x 100 pixel files to under 10kb.

Mac user here and Opera worked! This is my FIRST avatar change since going the site because I never could figure it out or missed the #$%^& day.

Can't figure it out....

First choose the picture you want to use. (of course)

If you have Microsoft Picture Manager...Open it up and click on edit pictures. A bar will appear with several options...Click on resize. Then check the box marked percentage of original width X height. Then drop the percentage down on the % until you have under 100 X 100 pixels.

Hope this helps

If you still are having trouble, PM me and I'll do it for you. I don't mind.

No, I don't. I upgraded a few weeks ago to the 27" iMac and don't have anything outside of stock applications on it.
Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with what I've got.

I'm sticking with this stupid thing ... even though some noobie has the same avatar. Every time he (or she) posts something, my mind is blown, if only momentarily.
