Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Apologies.
I currently have an avatar that may be a violation of the rules; my apologies if that is the case.
The primary reasons I haven't taken it down (to be safe) are two-fold: one, I'm currently kind of stupid and can't figure it out (and currently am out of time (I'm an hour andfifteentwenty minutes late getting my kids to bed); and two I'm not entirely certain it runs afoul of the rules... but only because I've never had a problem with it in the past (it definitely seems like it is, based off of a reading of the rules, which is why I'm asking).
I didn't create it - I was kind of surprised at the method the site required, but I found it easily enough by searching and linking it. The reason I'm uncertain is just that the image is so ubiquitous. I've used it in numerous other forums as my avatar. Again: I've no problem abiding by the rules. I have two children literally bouncing off of me and the walls (not literally for emphasis - literally for literal realsies) that need to go to bed - it makes typing and focus hard, and I can't find how to edit my avatar in my "profile" selection section.
If you'd like, just tell me how and I'd be glad to remove it, or feel free to do it yourself - I don't mind.
The image is taken from a 1995 video game created by someone else that I own no rights to. The link is someone else's website that I found by a Google search. That seems like it violates the rules.
(For the record, I didn't realize the rules were as exhaustive as they were; when I agreed that I'd read the rules, I really thought I'd done so, due to labeling of the subsection and the lack of any apparent link to the larger rules section (or at least, not one that I noticed at the time). Now that I actually have read the larger rules post, I'm attempting to make things right and actually abide by both spirit and letter - which is why I'm posting here and asking questions rather than trying to slip under the radar. I'm very sorry I made such a mess so quickly. Blech.)The Lord of all loves you: yes, you, specifically. Trust in Him: I look forward to seeing you there!

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Where can I find the rules? The link in OP's post leads to something saying I don't have permissions to be there.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
There is a yellow ribbon at the top of every page with the text "Welcome back! Be sure you have read and understand the Forum Rules." linking to the current version of the rules.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
(emphasis added in case it's tl;dr)
I may have the same question as Dappershire, but I'm not sure since it seems kinda ambiguous.
The link* in the first post's second sentence ("It is suggested you read over the avatar and signature rules before you get started so that you don't run into any problems later.") doesn't actually go to avatar/signature rules. (At least for me, it doesn't.) It goes to a page that starts with "arimareiji, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"
Thank you for your time.
* - My apologies, I had to strip all URLs from this post to create it. I underlined and blued the link for emphasis.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Yes, the avatar rules were merged with the general rules ages ago. You can find the avatar rules in the link I gave, and just scroll down to or search for "Avatar & Signature Rules". The "you do not have permission" error means the original post was moved to the mod-only area of the forums (which is how they "delete" old posts).

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
All the image links in the first post of this thread appear to be broken.
Also, I think the instructions are out of date due to some changes in how the forum is formatted. For example, there appears to be no "edit options" item in the "settings and options" list.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
It seems that my avatar has an issue, just like the one belonging to the poster above me. I however can't quite figure out what the issue is. Could someone help me with this?

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
There is a of of blank space under my avatar image, and it is not part of the image. Is this normal?
EDIT: I changed it for an image with more space on top for a temporary fix, but here is the original appearance for reference.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Blah... I seem to be a complete idiot... I've gone through all the steps to set my avatar (which worked perfectly fine before photobucket changed their polocies) and now that i'm using Imgur it keeps telling me I've entered the Url wrong. I've used the BBCode link, the Linked BBCode link and Direct Link but in all three situations all I get is a little dialogue box that says "You did not enter the correct format for the Custom Avatar URL field. Please read the field description for the expected format."
I've used the Linked BBCode link for my signature and as you can see, it works fine, so why can't I get my Avatar to work?

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Okay, so here we go
BBCode Link: [img]https: //i.imgur.com/dY4CAaC.png[/img] (manually inputted space between the https: and the double backslash)
Linked BBCode: [img]http: //i.imgur.com/dY4CAaC.png[/img] (once again, manually inputted space between the https: and double backslashes on both sets)
Direct Link: https: //imgur.com/dY4CAaC (Second verse same as the first)
Hope this helps in finding the problem.
Hmmm... The Linked BBCode is only showing half the code, it's missing the part of the code.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Try putting it without the s in https: i.e. use http://i.imgur.com/dY4CAaC.png
Don't put any tags, no square brackets. Just the URL.
I tried it, and had no issue with the avatar showing up.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Paint, the default kind that comes with every Windows ever; mine is Windows 10. I had everything checked out for transparent background and such, but upon loading it into imgur, it proved to keep the "blank" background as white, despite using free-select and such. It proved to do the same in my image viewer, so I'm clearly doing something wrong.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
In paint, you need to use the "transparent selection" option in the select drop down. I think this is a decent article explaining how.

You can easily make any image background transparent, also check this article for explanation about how to do that, https://youprogrammer.com/how-to-mak...rent-in-paint/

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
so i setup my avatar drawing on Imageshack, but it wont let me upload it even though its the correct sizing and the link is the correct format. also these instructions make no sense be cause there is no option in the settings under miscellaneous, there is however an option URL for custom avatars in the General settings, but there is no option for entering the size of the image please help.
