What Happened To My Avatar?

It's been X'd out?...What the heck?...Has anyone else had this problem?

Calling all "computer savvy" posters!

Was it a picture of your own or did you lift it from a website?

Sometimes people will kill pics from people being able to take them for their own use.

Did it feature an image that the mods could consider forbidden or controversial? Was it a picture of wildflowers?

@chickenbutt@deepwaterdotter...It was from a free Avatar website and was a picture of wildflowers...I have had it ever since the forums changed over to their new format and there has been no problem until now.

Wow, that is weird then. It must be on QVC's end. Hopefully, one of the Mods will come to your rescue.

My only other thought is to wonder if that avatar website is no longer in existence. But, OTOH, once you download a photo here I think it's re-coded so it doesn't revert back to the website as it would if it were just a picture that you posted by c&p.

I still have mine, but I own the picture.

I have no clue where yours went, but I brought you some new ones.

Thanks @deepwaterdotter. Little "cracked" maybe.

@Preds...Oh, those are beautiful!...Is there a way that I can copy this beautiful picture and make it my Avatar?...I'm now going to have to check out the insructions again...Let's see if I can make it work...This should be interesting!...LOL

How odd! Mine is my own picture, they better not delete him!

@LTT1@...I'm trying to copy the beautiful picture that @Preds posted, but it's not working for me...The "Save" is faded out and I only get "Browse", if I'm making any sense here...LOL

How can I copy it and add it to my Avatars and then I can paste it from there?

Re: What Happened To My Avatar?

chickenbutt — Fri, 01 Apr 2016 17:13:02 GMT

Wild - you can just save the picture to your computer, then bring it here from your computer. HTH!

@MaggieMack...Yes, when I logged in and saw that I had been X'd out, I thought that I had been exiled from the Community!...LOL...Now I'm trying to copy the picture that Preds so kindly posted, but it's not working...Then again, I'm not sure that I know what I am doing!...LOL

Your Avatar is adorable!

Re: What Happened To My Avatar?

chickenbutt — Fri, 01 Apr 2016 17:17:54 GMT

Just put your cursor over the picture and 'right'click'. From the pull-down menu you get at that point, just choose 'save as'. Put it where you want it. I just add stuff like that to 'My Pictures'.

That will save it to your computer.

@chickenbutt...For some reason, the Save feature on the Avatar settings is faded out?
