I want to place an ERIE diamond logo under my name. I kind of understand ( I think ) I need it placed in the “avatar” space in my profile. How do I do this and is there a website of RR logos to get this?? [%-)] Thanks, Ken

If you click on the update profile link and scoll down you will see a spot to edit you avatar. You can click browse to upload it off you computer or type in the url to a third party image hosting site (photobucket, imageshack,).

Ken,

It’s pretty easy. Go to the top right of the page and click on Update Profile. (This will take you to your profile page.) Scroll down to the Avatar section. On the second line, you’ll see “Upload Avatar”, and a blank text box and a “Browse…” button to the right of that. Click the browse button, locate the .jpg file on your computer, double-click the file so that the location address shows up in the blank text box, then click the “Update” button. Depending on the size of the file, it may take a few moments to upload your picture so be patient. The screen will change when the process is complete. Sometimes it takes about 10 minutes before the avatar will show up on your post.

Ken, if you are acquiring your Erie diamond from another location on the web: The easiest way to obtain it is to find the picture, right click the picture with your mouse, click “Copy Image Location”, go back to your profile page, paste it (Cntl+C…oops, Cntl+V) into the avatar text box, and press the “Update” button.

That should do it for you…

Tom

Ctrl+V is paste. Ctrl+C is copy. [oops]

Oops is right. [:I] Thanks, soumodeler! [:)] I’ve corrected the error on the original.

Thanks all. Now I’ve got to find the logo. I’ve found many sites with the ERIE logo but not the logo by itself. In the mean time I’ll keep searching. Again thanks, Ken
