I see most have saab type images and wondered how to do this. Bob MartinR 10-14-2003, 04:02 PM Do you mean the little pics under your board ID? These are called Avatars. You can find all the details here: http://www.saabscene.co.uk/ubb/ultimatebb....t=000024#000000 (http://www.saabscene.co.uk/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=22;t=000024#000000) Isn't the search facility wonderful? scrofts007 10-14-2003, 07:17 PM Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! I did mine earlier today - it is easy, just update your profile. If you want something that's not already on there, you'll have to find the URL for the image (right click and then "properties" then copy the URL to the clipboard and then paste this into the appropriate field in the "Avator image box. I've asked several questions to which the answer was already on the board !! MartinR 10-15-2003, 02:44 PM Sorry, sarcasm wasn't my intent. I was just trying to point out that often the answer that a member seeks is already within the Saabscene "knowledge bank" just waiting to be pulled out again! I admit, however, that in this case it may have been a little more difficult for asgard if he wasn't aware of the term "Avatar". BTW, Stuart, your Avatar image is a little squashed . Try to crop and resize to 100x75 pixels as this is the space actually available (yours is currently 380x232 pixels). Cheers. asgard 10-16-2003, 04:25 PM Many thanks for the direct. Boys--remember always play nicely with others . I have applied the item and await the glory of having my own image. Sorry it is not an original john 10-16-2003, 04:38 PM Remember chaps, the FAQ (http://www.saabscene.co.uk/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=faq) often has the answers you need to questions like this ...and more besides Somebody even reminded me that we had an FAQ!

Andrew scrofts007 10-18-2003, 03:41 PM Sorry to be so selfish guys - I always was a little greedy - you know the kid you sat next to that always had his elbows sticking out! All done now only took be about an hour - bl*dy thing wouldn't re-appear! asgard 10-24-2003, 02:51 PM Hope that my new avitar works . Many thanks for the info on the Fotango site James 10-24-2003, 05:57 PM Er ... nope, sorry asgard 10-25-2003, 08:07 AM James, I sat last night transfering the picture to Fotango cropped it down to size and sat back to feel quite smug. It all seemed to go fine the image appeared and I confidently stated a ureka!!! My bubble is truly burst . The image has gone . So I have reverted back to a stock job. Will try again when my confidence is back.
