My Avatar is now listing me as an "Enthusiast", just I have my 2011 membership card sitting at home?

Where is the disconnect and how do I restore my owner status?

You're all set Mike. There is some clean-up going on, your profile may have been erroneously altered. Sorry about that!

It looks fine to me...whiner.

LOL...I was going to post something like that, but I didn't want it to be taken the wrong way.

How do I ad an avatar? I just joined and I don't see any option to add one.

Go into the User Control Panel (the link is "User CP" and is just above the "Welcome, VIPERBARON" at the top left of your screen), then on the left side under "Setttings and Options", click "Edit Avatar".

Yep, the system doesn't recognize BMP files, and the second link you provided is to a location on your hard drive.

You can open your files in mspaint and save-as .jpg files, which will work fine, then you have to upload them to a file sharing site (photobucket, etc), or to the gallery here.

Can't he just save the file as a .jpg and then upload straight from his hard drive (bypassing having to use a file sharing site)? That's how I've always uploaded my avatars.

Ditto. That was the way I have always done it too.

Noone asked you.

Hmm. That post must have been deleted.

OK, thanks all. I think it uploaded successfully. We sometimes have problems with the slow internet over here in Afghanistan. The Chinese are probably hacking in to the data stream.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Very nice! Well done! We can see the pic!

And I guess the hackers will see good things like blue GTSs! LOL
