Adding an Avatar to Your Screen (User) Name

Post by jerryd6818 »

The first step is to get to the User Control Panel.

Step #1
1) Getting to User Control Panel.jpg
If you currently have an avatar and are changing your Avatar, you'll see this screen.
Step 2a
2) Uploading Avatar.jpg
After doing Step 2a -- Skip to Step 4

If You've never had an Avatar or currently don't have and Avatar, you'll see this screen.
Step 2b
Fresh No Avatar Before.jpg
Step 3
3)Choose Avatar Source.jpg
Step 4
4) Choose an Avatar.jpg
5) Ta Done.jpg

Personally, I would not fool with these two options.
You can load the Avatar from the Internet (but it has to be 100 pixels x 100 pixels or less on the web site you load it from)
Y) Remote Avatar.jpg
Or from your Gallery on AAPK (once again, the image in the gallery has to be 100 pixels x 100 pixels or less)
x) Gallery Avatar.jpg

Thanks for posting that, Jerry. I was always too lazy to try to figure out how to add an avatar, but, you made it easy. I now have an avatar and know how to change it.
Thanks
