Michel Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Dear friends,if you want an avatar for your profile, in this time:go to "My controls"- Edit avatar settings- Upload on your website an image- Enter the URL and "Update Avatar"It's easy and gives at the forum a look more "fresh" and friendly.New forum with problems at the moment , but always in life and we do to live it.I hope you agree !

Michel Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 You use a picture of you, then you resize it in (example) 70x70 and you save it (or save for the web) as myimage.gif or myimage.jpg.Then you upload it on your website and put the link in your profile.An Avatar symbolize a man who "surf" in a virtual world.

alrobin Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 So, does anyone know how to convert ones own image into an avatar?"Avatar": from Hinduism: "The descent of a deity or released soul to earth in bodily form". Hence "Incarnation", "embodiment", or "manifestation".And if you put your image into an animated GIF (using software such as GIF Construction Set), it will look something like this.
