I haven't been around for a while and I was just looking at the new setup here. I LIKE IT!!! But..I have a question. I saw where you can EDIT AVATAR, but if you have a custom one uploaded from your PC, I don't see an option to change it...just delete it.

Am I missing something here?

When I go to Edit Avatar, and scroll down just a bit on that page, there is an area titled Custom Avatar. And right in that section, it gives you two options for loading your custom avatar.

First there is a box where you can enter the URL to where it is already kept online.

The second option is under that, where there is another box to upload an avatar straight from your computer, so you don't have to have it housed anywhere else on the internet. (This second option has a Browse button next to it.)

I believe after you would do one of those, you just click on Save Changes.

Hope that helps.

Hey Carrie! Nice to see you again!! Is that a picture of your ultrasound in your avatar? That is so cool!

Hope all is well with you & hope to see you around here more often!

EEK. All I have is the top box that shows the current picture and an option to delete.

The next box is to choose one that is already there for you. Those are the only two options I have on the page


Did something change where you need to have a greater number of posts or something to have a custom??

Hey Shell!!!

Yep..that is actually the NINE week ultrasound from February. That was an internal ultrasound it showed a lot more. I just has the ""BIG"" one Thursday. They are 70% leaning towards girl. I have to go for a 3D one a week from tomorrow since baby wouldn't cooperate for all of the measurements they need.

Hi Carrie!

With the new system, we made some changes to the custom avatar and titles to suit the new system. How we had it set up didn't work anymore. So now you have to be a Super Cat to change the custom avatar. Sorry!

I bumped up the thread by Deb25 called "New Membership Levels" FYI.

Heidi is correct. With our upgrade, our old avatar requirements didn't make it through to the new system. Now you receive a greater choice of avatars with each 'promotion' in membership you get (based on post count and length of membership). You must have Super Cat status for a custom avatar and Top Cat for a custom title.

Katie, I think it's 1500... Not too sure. I understand now, must go back and edit my post on the other thread. Nice to see you back Carrie.
