Image trouble

seriosly this is hard.

turn the little light back on.

? I don't know what you are talking about. the image won't change from black.

These are the instructions found on your profile page




The problem may be that you are using an image file that is not a compatible format. Please either post a link to the image on the internet or type in the file name you uploaded for your avatar.

That will tell us if it is a good format.

Also check the content rating you gave it over at gravatar.com. if it isnt for general audiences, change it.

If it still doesn't display correctly, try using a different image.

I put my own photos on photobucket, in order to get the image a jpeg. I'm not sure if that jpeg is necessary, but I do that step. Then I put that image with a jpeg on my desktop.
There are many other image hosting sites besides photobucket, it's just the one I use.

Or once in a while I make an avatar about some google image photo - they are usually jpegs too.

Then I go to Gravatar, sign in, and click on ADD IMAGE (or similar words)
They'll show a place to add/drag the the data from your desktop photo (it'll show on your desktop list, if you have a mac, similar I presume for pcs.



You may need to crop your photo. That's easy enough once you catch on..
