Todd,thanks for pointing out the error in the URL. I re-entered the URL using the .jpg extension and now I have a new avatar! This should help others who are trying to add their own images as an avatar. Thanks again.

The problem is not with Lottery Post, it is with the URL that you pasted.

You pasted the URL: http://dacwho.googlepages.com/coyote

It should be: http://dacwho.googlepages.com/Coyote.jpg

The URL you pasted was to the PAGE containing the graphic, not the graphic itself.

The avatar function on Lottery Post works just fine. If it DOESN'T work for you, it is normally one of three reasons:

Did the same thing by creating a web page using Google Page Creator and then uploaded a gif Avatar to the web page from my computer. Anybody can now view it at: http://dacwho.googlepages.com/avatar

I then pasted the URL into the http:// in LP and hit preview. Nothing happened. It looks like the problem is with the LP Avatar page.

Just try clicking Preview after you enter the URL. If it doesn't show up at that point, there is something wrong with the URL. Most of the time it's because people are trying to show a picture that's on their own hard drive. If you check out the Help forum, I posted a lengthy message there about how to upload images.

Go to the following page, select the radio button marked Select your Avatar from a list , then keep clicking different names in the list box until you find one you like. Then click Save New Avatar Settings.

I'm not really comp litterate and I could really use some help in changing my avatar. I have other pictures which I'm trying to put in the avatar section here at LP. I've copied the URL and put it into the avatar section and hit preview, and at the bottom I can see where it says (downloading pictures), but it still does'nt show in the avatar. I've tried it diferent ways and I still get the same results (Nada/zilch).

Could someone walk me through this, before I pull all my hair out. Thanks in... [ More ]
