Changing your avatars, Need help? How long did it take you to figure it out ?

I just never really thought about it. When I first got here, I wanted to make sure I was going to hang around so I did not upload one. Thanks for reminding me, I'll see what I can find.

i do not how to do that

plz tell me how to change my pic plz

That is one of the few things on the profile I can change sissy! lol I know when I first started it took me a little while to figure out how to do it and I have never changed it since but that is cos I like my avatar and think it suits me! I'm with you - I really son't like the standard avatar! xxx

hahahaha, the green boogery avatar, you are so funny Sissy..I think it did take me a while to figure it out, then it took even longer for me to change it again because I had forgotten how..Then when my security started preventing me from doing certain things, then I had to change all over again how I do it.. Now I have it down packed and the only problem would be finding one that I like better than the one I have now..:)

Well I need the help. Will you tell me how to do this. To be honest I didn't know you could change it. Help please....

Hi Sissy,i changed mine pretty much straight away but now i have forgotten and have no idea how to change it and to me,the look is getting old.What do i do?

Afternoon sissy :)))) Changing my Av was the first thing I did once I joined mylot. Its probably the only thing I have figured out how to do with that dand profile too.... LMAO

I think I changed my avatar before I even made my first post. It's one of the first things I do on any site when I join, because I like having something that in some way represents who I am or what I enjoy. I know people who have been here for a long time and still have that green guy on their avatar, and I don't understand it. It makes their discussions less noticeable, I think. It also makes them less likely to be remembered, in my opinion, since a lot of people remember other users by avatars before usernames.

Ah..Yes. I was trying to figure out on how to change it one day. Then I gave up cause I felt it was not very important. It does not matter to me. Now, since you asked, yes, give me the info. on ho w to change. Probably you could send me a message on that. Thanks

For me, it didn't take long. But there is not a fair judge as I am more of the techy kind.:) I think there are reasons why some "refuse" to change their default avatars. One might be that they are really too busy - to find pictures and all. Or, they can't find a suitable picture to represent them. Or, they are accessing myLot from a public computer and so cannot download pictures. Among others.

Same here! I too hated that "green boogery avatar." So, I posted a discussion begging for help. I think it took me a few weeks after I became an active member of Mylot to change my avatar. Am quite fond of that black cat and would like to stick to it as long as I am here. Cheers! :)

I think I changed mine either my second or third day on Mylot. It may even have been my first day. It was pretty easy once I found where to do it. I think some people just don't care about their avatar. Mine is from my blog on blogspot and I wanted to bring her over here too. She suits me well!

I figured out how to do the Avatar right away, but I didn't figure out the layout part, thanks for that info too. You rock.

It didn't take long for me to figure it out, thank goodness! I don't like that little green guy, darn thing gives me the creeps. :P Okay, that is a bit extreme, but it does annoy me. LOL I didn't start participating in mylot until after I had an avatar of my own as there was no way I was going to use the default one in my postings. I can see why some of the new users may use it, but for the ones that have been here for some time, there really is no excuse not to have something more original. Like you said, all someone has to do is ask and most likely someone will help them out. :)

Hello Sissygrl, It's nice of you to offer open help to new users here. I hope they get advantage of your generous offering! When I came here about 11 months ago, I did not change my avatar for about 2 weeks. I was more interested in knowing how the things work here, precisely how discussions go about, what topics people are discussing, how they respond and what is considered a norm here, things like that. Once I got settled a bit, I thought to have an avatar as my Identity, not particularly because I didn't like default one but because I didn't like being anonymous. Sometimes, I had to especially read screen names to know where 'I' am when there were three, four same default avatars in a row. So, I selected one that was different than this one, after about two more weeks (if I am recalling correctly), I got this avatar and it's with me ever since!:-) It would appear that you are more Identity conscious than I was and you have a beautiful avatar!:-)

Oh sissy, I can't figure out how to ADD an avatar. I can't even fidn the directions on FAQ. And it doesn't even explain under the photographs button. I could only download a pic to post in my profile. Thanks so much in advance!

It was one of the first thing I figured out as I really hated the default avatar. I won't be changing mine as it stands out when I look to see if I'm still in the 0 responses list, sigh. Here's a free avatar website for anyone who hasn't found anything yet http://avatars.jurko.net
