Josh's Icon
« on: December 03, 2007, 02:07:28 PM »
Josh, you asked this of me a while ago - I hope you like it.

If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

Thanks Dave.  Now I'll just have to figure out how to attach it to my profile.  I'm leavin' the office now, so I'll see what I can do tomorrow.  Cheers.

Use photobucket.  That's the best way.

Yeah, and Silly Putty won't capture the image, either - I tried!

Seriously - copy the icon to your desktop and save. Then go into your profile and find the place to download images. Tell it you want to browse and then import the saved icon form your desktop. That should do it.

And if that doesn't work--

1) Open a  photobucket account (it's free).
2) Make sure you icon is no more than 7p pixels (I did 75 to be safe)
3) Upload to photobucket
4) Go to your "Profile" on the forum
5) Go to "Forum Profile Information"
6) Click on "I have my own pic"
7) Copy the info from the "direct link" field on photobucket and paste into the field beside "I have my own pic"
8) Upload.
9) Smile with demented glee at your icon.

Good luck.

P.S. Hey Topkick - maybe we should make these instructions a permanent post somewhere, since a lot of new folks seem to have the same question (myself included once upon a recent time).
