Guest Wolfie Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 I want to change my avatar - which are the best sites to look on??? Quote
Guest Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 I was thinking about doing this too....but need to know where to go and my brain has gone dead and can't even remember how to do it Quote
JacquieL Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Well it depends what you want, but if you type free gifs, or animated gifs, or free avatars etc. you will find lots of sites. If you are thinking of a Christmas one then just add Christmas to your request as there are lots out there. Once you have got one you like saved on your computer, and do save it don't link to the site as they don't like that, go into your personal settings and click on update avatar, and then do what it says in there. You will have to delete the old one first. Don't forget to save that on your computer if you want to use it again. Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 I wondered how to do this - being so sad as not to have an avatar in the first place.... Maz Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 poor show maz Hmm. Wel we can't all be as technically competent as you, obviously Maz Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 poor show maz Ha! Never let it be said that I shirk from challenge! Maz PS thanks jacquieL! Quote
dublinbay Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I wondered how to do this - being so sad as not to have an avatar in the first place.... Maz Congratulations Maz and well done on choosing your first avatar!! I'm liking it! Quote
dublinbay Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Think I've done it!!!! Congratulations to you too Mrsb! Good remembering!!!! Quote
JacquieL Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Oh well done. I do like it when the Christmas avatars appear. Christmas decorations online. I've even got a set of onscreen Christmas lights flashing away. How sad am ? Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Think I've done it!!!! This is all a bit confusing isn't it - because your new avatar is attached to all your existing posts as well as the new ones. So mine saying I'm not clever enough to have an avatar now has a lovely avatar. I think I had better stop thinking about this before my brain frazzles in a pre-Christmas frenzy.. Maz Quote

Guest cathy m Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Think I've managed to change mine to a Christmas tree Cathy Quote
Guest MaryEMac Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I changed mine yesterday but I needed help from my daughter to do it. After Christmas I shall need her help to change it back Mary Quote
Guest Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Hoping I've gone festive! We shall see eh? Quote
dublinbay Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Me too!! Aren't daughters (and sons) who know their way around a computer wonderful!!! Quote
Deb Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Maz - my secret's out! Ooohh, oooh, ooooh! Nichola - you have gone festive! Quote
Guest Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 sorry folks....I wanted a moving one so I've changed it again. Quote
Guest Wolfie Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 MaryEMac - does your daughter say the same as mine does....."I'm not going to do it FOR you!" ??? Quote
Guest MaryEMac Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 She raises her eyebrows and rolls her eyes a bit, Wolfie. Trouble is I watch intently and think I understand, but then lots of things happen before I need to do it again and guess what...... 'Leanne, can you help me?' Think it's my age. Mary Quote
Guest Wolfie Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I always say I'm going to write it down for next time, in easy steps, and draw little pictures of the icons, etc. that I will have to click...she says "Why can't you just remember it???!" Why CAN'T I just remember it!!! You're right...must be my age!! Quote
Guest Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I haven't had one for ages, so I have just tried - ALL ON MY OWN !! Quote
Guest Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I did it! Thanks guys, I hadn't a clue that those little cartoons had names! x Quote
Guest Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Hmmm, curious to see if this works or not! Quote
