Can someone please tell me how to grab a photo and use it for avatar?

[miketx]

Sorry, I don't keep up with new technology much...

Click your avatar at the top of the page. This opens your account info. move the mouse over you avatar and click edit. upload image from your PC and click ok.

Are moon bats the kind that are always proverbially referred to as being straight out of Hell? You know... that saying Like a bat out of hell...

The reference is to them being bat shit crazy.

Ok, I will try this.. have saved your instructions because.. again, I am just not tech savvy. I never went to the top of the page, for one thing..

thanks so much..

I really hate to annoy you, but I don't know how to get pictures pasted into files on the computer...

When you find a pic you like right click on it and a pop up will give you a way to save the picture as... or save image as... and click on that and your picture file should open... then you can name the pic and save it... once you do that close everything and follow my first instructions.... if you can't get the pic to load into your avatar it may be too big of a file but that is rare....

Knock that crap off! He doesn't want one of your pictures!

Are you sure? What if he doesn't like Romania? What if the other dragons are mean to him?

Oh wait........ This isn't the TV forum, is it? Oops.

Thank you to all who helped/tried to help me change my avatar. I got some help from a live human also

The new av was supposed to be a test run but maybe I'll keep it, so peace-inducing!

I was thinking about getting a Trump one. I found a great pic of Trump by the Wall he started... then somehow lost it in a split second

I'm 99% sure it was...

censorship... again.

seems Zuck was right there to pounce on me! (kidding? who knows..?)

OK, I actually went to Banner (on my Profile). (I tried adding a banner also.. )

the words were No File Selected

I'm hopeless

Click select and then look for the picture you want to use. If you don't know where it is stored (what file) on your drive you will have to check the various files.

Thanks. A live human showed me where the image was stored after it disappeared on me..(!).. figures

it's no wonder I hate the new technology... sometimes worse than the old technology..

Thanks ago.. By the way, who is that in your own avatar? I know who he is, kind of but can't recall his name!

the old technology (aka my brain) doesn't always work much better than the new

Donald Trump is the avatar.

I have a Confederate Flag avatar because it triggers the stupid hateful Moon Bats.

I will be willing to entertain your attempt to say your avatar isn't a demonstration of your racism, but you'll have to prove it by demonstrating to the forum that you're being sincere.

I think the simple word Liberal does that in spades... That may not have been so some, say 30 years ago but today... OMG

just the word Liberal is enough to make people... uh... duck

 

[justaschmuck9]

Donald Trump is the avatar.

well, that guy doesn't look much like Trump but I know he's a conservative... just can't recall his name

I thought of getting a Trump avatar and may do that but... the experience of just trying to change it is.. I don't know if I can remember all those steps and glitches and re-steps and more glitches...

yikes..

You don't keep up with technology but you want "grab a photo and use it for avatar"? Somethin ain't right and anybody who responds to this stuff in a time of intense scrutiny by federal authority needs their head examined.

something aint right, all right

you..

post makes no sense..

 

[justaschmuck9]

OK, now I tried to put a photo into my banner, which presumably is the space at the bottom of my "box" or whatever u call it

So could someone tell me how to do this?

I learned where and how to save a photo so proud of myself

but then.. well, I even got it to appear where the banner word shows up (profile)

but it doesn't show up on my posts..!

hate modern tech... u wonder why i don't want to keep up w/ it!

I was going to let it go with a post but it pissed you off. Instead of explaining what you were trying to do you attacked me. It's not a good sign that you are legitimate. Go troll on some other forum for dupes that are dumb enough to help you break the law.
