Title: Pictures on the left side.
Post by: srtony1946 on August 24, 2008, 06:16:28 PM
I think I have asked this question before a long time ago. Anyho, I would like to know how to create the little Picture's I always see to the left of most peoples screens. Not sure what you would call them, Maybe they are called  AVITARS?, But always wanted one of my own, Thanks.

Yes they are called Avitars I have one ^.^

You can make them with Paint and photoshop and A bunch of other picture editing file.

I can make you one just tell me what you want.

Edit: There usually 64 by 64

2nd Edit: Also Me and Carbon have banners in our sig that make it easier to be reconised in the forum. They are around 100 by 100

Well, I am a Call Of Duty 4 Fanatic, I am really addicted to the game. I have a Picture saved In My pictures. How can I make that Into a AVATAR ? You guys will have to walk me thru the steps cause I am a novice when It comes to photoshop, Paint and editing. Thanks.

Download, and install Irfanview: http://www.irfanview.com/
Open your saved COD picture in Irfanview.
Go Image>Resize\Resample, and resize your picture, so it doesn't exceed 65x65 size. Save it.

At Computer Hope, click on Profile button, then Forum Profile Information.
Checkmark: I will upload my own picture:, click Browse button, and navigate to just saved picture location.

Click on Change profile button at the bottom, and you're done.
