Hi..

Like to add an Avatar to my posts but the control panel tells me they're not allowed. The FAQ section says to ask..

Anyone help?

Regards, Adey

I'm not a moderator, but I think you do that in your DASHBOARD.

Hover cursor over COMMUNITY, left click on DASHBOARD, then when Dashboard loads left click PROFILE and once that loads upload your reasonably sized photo and plug in any additional info you would like to share. That should do it.

Thanks for that BrotherDave.

I've got the image uploaded to My Photo, but when I try to edit Avatar, I just get the message that Avatars are disallowed. I checked in FAQs and it said if these were disallowed, I should ask.

I'll try messaging the Moderator.

I'm losing the plot here..

Seems I can't PM the Moderator as he's disallowed PM receipts.

Anybody know how I can get in touch?

Thanks, Adey

Adey, I saw this question come up before and someone said to keep checking because sometimes they reallow avatars. Well, I've been checking for months and it's always the same thing -- disallowed... If you do figure it out or happen to notice that they are allowed again, please do a new post so I'll know! 8)

Perhaps if you already have an avatar then you can change it.

But new avatars it seems are a no no.. :(

Hi Adey: the other day someone was having trouble reaching Brad via a PM, and he posted to say:
Brad Traweek wrote:
You can e-mail me offline at ForumAdmin@fender.com .

He said it in broad public, so I guess that address is not top secret information. Dunno, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's switched off his PMs because he's fed up to the back teeth with certain youngsters messaging him all the time about their latest interpersonal squabbles on the Forum...

Good luck - C

Your probably right.

For the past month I have tried changing mine through the User Control Panel and I was getting the message Avatars Are Not Allowed. When i tried brotherdave's suggestion I had to delete my current avatar and then one that I tried to load before would show. I ended up deleting 3 or 4 before it would take my new one. :roll:
