REShaman:
Hello All,

New to the forum having just recently purchased a few days ago the pre-order license in contemplation of the 02/22/13 release.

I am also a member at the CA Forum (ComputerAudiophile.com) where I can easily upload a .jpg file from my Pictures folder on my computer to use as my avatar. This is awkward for me, but, I can only find a method that only allows linking to a URL on the web as the source for a personal picture. Consequently, I am at a loss as to how to "attach" my personal avatar to my account here at Interactive J River MCM-18. Anyone: Is there a mechanism for accomplishing uploading my personal avatar? Any help is appreciated. In any case, happy to be here.

Best,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Welcome!

To use your own avatar, you need to upload it somewhere. Unfortunately the board does not allow you to upload a picture to it. Any picture hosting website would suffice as long as you can reference the file directly.

Please note that the avatar needs to be a certain size before you can use it. If I remember correctly, it was a 100x100 pixels maximum.

MrC:
Actually, you can sneak it in.  Attach an image file (if you have attachment rights) to your post above.  It will show up as a thumbnail.  Right-click the thumbnail and copy the URL.  Use that as your avatar.

That's cheeky!  ;D

I don't think you get attachment rights immediately.  I think it is only after a certain number of posts (though it is low, I think, just to keep the drive-by-spammers at bay).

In any case, if you want to try to use this, it is under Additional Options down at the bottom of the Edit/Compose post window of the forum.

PS.  Jim, it might be nice to have a few of these threads collected/linked to in the Is This Support? Thread.

PPS.  There should also be a copy of that thread stickied to the top of this board.
