Getting Yourself An Avatar
98 Answers
Good Day AnswerBankers.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank you very much for your patience. We now have Avatar, for those who want them.
We have decided to use Gravatar's system as it was quick, simple and reliable.
How To Get An Avatar:
First you must sign up to Gravatar.com here: http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup/
(Please use the same email address as you use for The AnswerBank)
Click the link in the email Gravatar sends you.
Create a username and password for Gravatar. These DO NOT have to be the same as your AB username and password.
Log in to Gravatar and select where you want to load an image from:
IF you want to load it from the net, find the picture you want, and its URL, and copy and paste it into the given field.
IF you want to load a picture from your computer, select this option. Click the "Browse" button and find the file you wish to upload to the site. Click "Next".
On the next page crop your image (if you wish) with the small square "handles" on the box within your image. When happy, click "crop and finish".
Rate your Avatar. Answerbank will only accept a "G" rated Avatar.
That is your Gravatar Account Set up. Next...

hi again piggynose...I can understand the way you feel on matters. In my opinion, and that of others, AB could have set-up it's own facility for Avatars without involving Gravatar; which isn't an easy site to work with.
The Ed doesn't reply over the weekend, but; as you have posted into his personal 'sticky' thread, hopefully he should say something next Monday morning. I hope he does because being left in the dark is something which I cannot take lightly.
