Travis Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 It has been a lot of fun meeting so many people who share the same interest as I do. One of my favorite things is clicking member profiles. It is a lot of fun learning where people live and their other interests. Since SSV doesn't require these fields to be filled out during registration, it often gets overlooked. So if you get a bit of time, fill out your profile and tell us a little about you. You can find it in the User Control Panel (left corner of the tan box at the top of the forums) then click the Profile tab. While you're there, you can also upload an avatar and create a signature. An avatar is a small picture that appears next to your name that represents you. They must be 64x64 and less than 15k. If you don't know how to resize your avatar, upload it and someone will resize it for you. A signature is the little box below your posts that has links, quotes, or whatever. Many of us use this area to link to our personal User Gallery. But this is also a great area for linking to your personal websites. Have fun with your profile. I know there are many folks who really enjoy reading them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yost69 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Ok, i just updated my prof. It was hard going back that far and trying to remember the stupid stuff I did when i was younger, for the two truths and a lie part. But it sure did bring back alot of memories.

Travis Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 It was fun to read through your profile. Your 2 truthes and a lie is a tough one. I'm guessing your driving record is a lie. Mostly because I certainly couldn't afford the insurance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi Travis. Can you adjust my little Aussie Wombat friend that I would like as my avatar please. Much appreciated. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi Marg. Here is a couple versions of the little critter. The first one is the normal picture, the second I adjusted the color a bit so its a bit more vibrant. Feel free to use either one. Let me know if you run into any problems. I'd be glad to help.

wombatie Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks Travis. I'm sorry its taken so long to get back to you but I caught a really bad dose of the flu and was in bed for a week. Still a bit sluggish but thankfully on the mend. Now my next problem 'How do I get my little Wombat from your reply to my profile, and add it to the avatar section?' Sorry but when it comes to computers they still do not make them simplar enough for me. By the way I like the paler one myself so I will go with that one thanks. Sorry to be a bit of a pain.

merlin Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Marg try this: Right click on Wombat2 in Travis's mesage, Click on "Save image as" This can then be saved to your computer, just rembeber where you saved it. Next click on "User Control Panel top left of screen Then click on "Profile" next click "Edit Avatar, From Upload from your computer, click on "Choose File". Then from the box that pops up find where you saved Wombat2. Then click on Wombat2, then click on "Open" from the same box, then back to "User control panel", the file name should then be there and then you click on the "Submit button" All should be ok. Hope I didn't tread on anyones toes here, and I hope like hell I got it right. Luck Merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks Merlin I tried that and it didn't work. I even tried it twice to make sure I did it right. Oh poor faceless me. LOL LOL Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Jeezz Marg sorry It didn't work for you. I just tried that way again and it work for me. Maybe Travis has an other idea/way. Bugger just a thought, What browser do you use, I'm using Firefox and also Chrome, If you use Internet Explorer it may be sightly different. SORRY....

Travis Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I could add the avatar for you if you'd like. Its a pretty quick process on my end. Do you prefer Wombat1 or Wombat2? Let me know and I'll hook ya up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks Travis, Wombat 2 would be great (the paler one). Don't know what the problem is my end unless its just me. Thanks again. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 That was fun to read. I'd like to see if I can hit up a car show before the end of the summer. Get some good pix of classic cars for some patterns. Plus my son would LOVE to see all those shiney cars...LOL. BTW, I really enjoy your car cuttings in your gallery.

greasemonkeyredneck Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Not the best photo in the world, but cameras do funny things when it comes to taking photos of me. I'd appreciate it if anyone could do something with it to make it an avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
