Thanks, Lisa.

Hate to bug you, but one more question (like it will almost be my last). How do people attach smilies to their messages?

When you post or reply to a message, the emotions/smilies are located on the left side of the text box where you type in your message. As you're typing your message, just click on the one(s) you want to use to insert them into the post. Try it out

Again, Lisa, thanks so much. I only ever have used the quick reply. Hope these have worked.

Time for beddy-bye!

ok... I'm in love with glitter text. These are not too hard to make.

Looks great Carl

Lisa -

Love your signature, too.

Just checking for successful upload - thanks so much for such great instructions. I'm learning more than cakes here

Sada and ibmoser- we can both see your's....glad the instructions were helpful!

Yup- it works!
Very cute BTW!

Thank you! I looked at so many places last night that I don't even remember where I found it.

Thanks for the help. I couldn't figure out how to upload it.

CC is great!

just checking if mine is working. I tried to post use a picture of a cake that I did and used the refered sites, but could not get it small enough and still see the picture, how did you get your own pictures to work? Anyway I found this one on a free avatar site. hope it works. Any suggestions?

If you did glittering cherries as your avatar, yup we can see it.
You may have to use a photo editing program to get your pics small enough...this includes cropping out what you don't need and resizing accordingly.

Hey it worked! Yeh!

I went to www.shrinkpictures.com and they made it so easy.

Just click on Create Avatar
upload picture
type in the size (110)
Click Resize

It was free too. You don't even have to sign in.

I am an avid runner and would love to find an animated one related to that. Any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks.

Ok, I clicked on this site cause I thought it was about my grandson's favorite cartoon charectar Avatar. Was pleasantly surprised to find it was about setting up pix. Well I've tried everything suggested but it keeps saying to big. Where do I go to find out how many K's a pix is??

I have the picture but no animation, what did I do wrong? Do I need to save it a different way?

just checkin.... that's my big girl...

where do you guys get your avatar??

I cannot seem to get it under 6KB....Any ideas? I am horrible at computers as you can tell. Thank you!!

I can't seem to gett mine under 6kb and every time I use the gifworks link I can't get it to resize to the limit here. I have unblocked my pop ups but I still can't get it anyone that can help PLEASE it is driving me nuts!

You might also try www.shrinkpictures.com HTH

Every time i try to upload a pic or avatar it says file must be less than 6kb...how do i fix that??? Help please

I can't seem to get your profile avatar function to work, I host my images in photobucket and even have developed a forum prior? I've never experienced this problem before? please advise?

for some reason my picture will not upload and I know it's the right size. Anyone experience any quirks they had to work out before uploading??

shrinkpictures.com worked for me. The pictures not perfect but...

i've been wanting to put up my own avatar but for some reason every picture i upload doesn't work because of its size! i cropped my image to the maximum size you need it to be but still, it exceeds 6kb. anyone know what i can do?

Tolinda, it took me a while to get mine small enough. But if you want to send me your pic, I can try to do it. Let me know.
