gummibear95 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 well, i just started using the forums, and i saw that i could post an avatar. cool i thought, i can use one of the fun orb avatars that i downloaded. unfortunatly, i found that the only way i could get an avv, is by getting one off the internet. now i dont know how to do this so i thought i would throw down this thread, sugesting that we could upload our own images, or at the very least copy and paste our immages plz post your thoughts, comments, (and if u got the spare time, how to put an avvatar on my account ;) ) lots of money is tainted, it taint yours, and it taint mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 If you want to use an image for your avatar that is on your desktop, you can still do so. All you have to do is upload the image to a free image hosting site (such as ImageShack. After you upload the image to that site (or any other free image hosting site, like [Censored for time being] or PhotoBucket, etc.), you will receive a URL for your image. Copy that URL, return to your Tip.it User Control Panel and paste that URL in the text box. That being said, I would still like to have an option to upload avatars from your computer directly. But just know that it's still possible to use your own image :) You just have to take a few extra steps first. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I thought we already could? Yeah its nice to be able to. We could on the old forum, but we are not able to on the new one (well not so new anymore :P). - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obfuscator Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I liked that uploading feature. I had no idea we couldn't do it any more. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I didn't even know this myself. I guess it's been a while since I actually changed any of my features. :lol: But yes, Tripsis answered your question. I think it would be nice to have a direct upload, but I don't know the hassle in that. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

DarkDude Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 A nice thing about having images uploaded to Tip.It was that it was impossible to have an oversized one. Don't really see it as needed though, if you're going to have a signature anyway it's not much more effort to upload an avatar too (unless of course you're using a generated signature or whatever.

dsavi Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 It moves the load away from Tip.it's servers, if we allowed people to host their avatars here it would use more bandwidth. Whether or not that's the reason that the admins haven't turned on that feature I do not know, but it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I'm pretty sure that's the case. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
