Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) You cannot link to that type of image I keep getting this! OK.. ok.. I would like to change my avatar picture to one more appropriate - a picture of my fish. I couldn't get it.. it seems I can't use photos taken from my camera. So I 'borrowed' mums - still the same. Is there any reason why this happens? Does anybody know a way to 'get around it'? Preferably, I would like to use THIS photo: it was taken on my camera, then edited the hue in Photobucket. But then.. maybe THIS one, as it was taken on mum's camera. If anybody was wondering, this is the reason why I had always had photos of my dog up on a fish forum - my old camera was fine, but it died. Thanks, mini rant over. :scared: Edited February 22, 2011 by Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sarah, Try using this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wow.. that worked! What did you do? Just change the size? Change the file? I'll do it on my (well it is actually my mums, I just took over) account, so you don't have to host it. Thank you so much Shadoh, not being able to use my chosen images has been bugging me since I joined! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just resized it. The size requirements are on the profile page. From what I remember, it is 130 x 130 pixels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Awesome.. going to to that now, thank you so much. I guess I thought that it would say it was too large if it didn't work, like the profile picture thingy does........... hey, Betta Mad Scientist! You hit 1000 posts - congrats. :applaud: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 lol... I didn't even notice until I reached 1010 posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I didn't notice until just now. Trying to resize it.. it still comes up with that dreadful message! I even saved the photo of you, and uploaded it - the photo info is exactly the same.. the only difference it ShadohBettas & CameraChick_2007 (I hate that username... gah). Will keep trying. Thanks for all of your help Jarrod. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If it gets too hard, I'm happy to host the pic for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks for that. I think I'll keep trying until I get it - it is always good to know how to do it incase I decide to change it. I'll let you know when (and I'm determined to) I succeed in this. Did you change the size in Photobucket? That is what I've been trying.... back to it eh? Edit: I thought I nearly had a break though.. went to copy the picture from your album to mine (there is a button to do so if you highlight it).. message. I'm starting to even get sick of the photo! Might go back to the photo of me & my friend. I even remember that photo being taken. :rolleyes: Edited February 22, 2011 by Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 No, I didn't resize it in photobucket. I did it in photoshop, but you could probably use paint. You could just copy the pic from my album and save to your computer, then upload to your photobucket account... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thought maybe you had used Photoshop, could be why Photobucket re-sizing isn't working for me. That is exactly what I tried - not working. I'm trying signing in and out now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Oh OK.. I can use terrible photos of me a couple years ago before I got braces with wild hair and non matching clothes.. BUT NOT THE PHOTOS I WANT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Chicken photo is so small I figured you can hardly see it - so why not? Can't believe I have that as my profile picture... :alright: Edited February 22, 2011 by Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Didn't like the colours? Sorry - you should have said, I wouldn't have taken any offense! OK.. looks like that picture isn't coming back now. Unless I change the colours to pastel (ideas.. this is sounding good). There was once this lovely member on here who had great information (but I won't name), but had a avatar that was really painful to my eyes - I had to cover up half the screen to read this persons comments.. but it is changed now, so it is OK. I felt really bad for that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
