To those who use SmileyCentral.com:

How do you make a smiley your avatar on Fish Lore? When I go to Smiley Central and choose one smiley, and insert its code in my space for avatar (where it says to put the URL of the avatar), it doesn't work, it says that the URL is "invalid".

I know I asked that question on Fish Lore long ago, but I forgot how to do it

Thanks for any help

I think I have it figured out
put the pic you want in a message, right click it, go down to properties, copy the address, go to edit your avatar, go all the way down to the bottom and put that address into the top box. click save changes. It should show up see my avatar I saved from your post to try and see if it would work.
Now I have to figure how to put them into posts with the new forum. Hummm.

Oh sorry I changed it to the butterfly

Now how do I get the properties address without having to send them to somebody then copying the address?

wish i could help, but smileycentral is PC only. no mac or linux or cel that i can see.

Isabella

Yes, exactly, that's it! THANKS CAROL !!! I knew there was a way to do it because I remember I was told how to do it in the past (here on Fish Lore). And if I remember correctly, it was you who told me, lol So thanks a lot once again

Hmm ...

... Carol, I just did exactly what you told me, and while the picture from Smiley Central does show in my avatar, it doesn't move ...



I'm probably doing something wrong again.

COBettaCouple

did you hook the ramistat to the freedlehopper?

Butterfly

Isabella my butterfly is a smiley central butterfly and it moves. What are you trying to use. If I knew maybe I could play with it
Carol

Isabella

LOL, I just tried to use any smiley, just to see if it would work. Practically anything. Example, lol: ( haha )

Butterfly

Hows that Isabella?
Carol

Isabella

YO! How did you do that !?

COBettaCouple

show off those moves, Isabella!

Isabella

Yeah baby! I've got some better moves yet! LOL



And I'm sure the aliens will appreciate this one too: ( )

Under edit avatar, at the bottom is a button that says use custom avatar- click it. right click on what you want to use, at the bottom open properties and highlight and copy the Location of the smiley.Then paste the LOCATION of the smiley in option one and click change profile. Voila' you got t

But Carol, I could have sworn that's exactly how I did it, and it didn't work. Only ... I don't see any "location" word in the properties of a smiley. I only see "address" where the smiley's URL is.

OK, let's choose some smiley again. For example this one:


At the bottom of my post, there is a screen shot of what my properties window for this specific smiley looks like. I copy and paste the link given next to the word "address" into the "Custom Avatar" space (into the first option). Below, there is a screen shot of the custom avatar window.

I just did it now. And it does not work. The smiley does not move. Or is it just my computer where it doesn't move?

the avatar image is a 80x80 gif file that's not animated.. maybe vBulletin resized it and when it did, the animation wasn't saved? or did you resize it?

COBettaCouple

i took the 88x88 smiley & resized it to 80x80.. i'll attach it to this post. maybe you could use it for the avatar and have the animation intact?

Thank you Dave But ... if you click on the smaller version of the smiley you posted here, and go to properties, the address that shows is a Fish Lore address, not that of Smiley Central, lol.

Anyway, folks, never mind this whole affair Thank you both for having tried to help

Butterfly

OK this one doesn't move for me either I see you finally got it into your avatar. Now keep trying until you find one that will move.
Carol

Butterfly

see my new smiley this one didn't have a location either. different ones say different stuff when clicked on I guess
Carol

Isabella

LOL, good idea All right, I'll try different ones and will see what's gonna happen Too bad the dolphin smiley won't move - I like it so much!

Isabella

Yuppie! The leo moves

Butterfly

Oh how cute! you can almost hear him purr

Isabella
