Ok, I have been here long enough to know this, but since I haven't been here all summer and they change things around, I can't remember how to change my avatar..

Also since I am on another computer, I did notice I can add HTML,unlike on my other computer, so can I just add a code like myspace has for their profiles, or is it different?

Just click on the preferences link located at the top left of the browser window. From there it is self explanatory

Thanks pkraj111, preferences, now it is coming back to me..You know, if that option was put into editing your profile, it would be much easier..

To change your avatar, you click on the preferences near your account is showing. Then put a tic mark on the 'delete'. Then browse to the new image you have stored.Click 'update'. That is all. thumbup

I know nothing about HTML so I hope somebody helps you with that!!! thumbup thumbup

Thanks ladymarissa, I knew what to do, I just couldn’t remember where it was..I am positive that someone will answer my question on the HTML though..:)

Changing your avatar has already been covered, so I'll address the HTML. It has to go into a sortie that goes on the right side of your profile. Click on edit my profile, look at the top right and select add content, select add html from the drop down menue. It will put a blank HTML sortie at the bottom of your right hand column. Insert your html, hit enter, and click on save change. Don't ask me why you have to hit enter after your html, but it doesn't "take" if you don't. After your HTML sortie has been created, mouse over the top part of it. You will get a cross hair cursor which will allow you to drag it to any position in the right hand column you want.

Thanks a lot. I didn't know about the HTML thing. And that's what my problem was!


myLot reputation of 92/100. carmelanirel (5749)   ranked 1,160 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

Yes, thank you thebeaddoodler, so does it say you have to hit enter or is this something that was failed to be mentioned? And any code would work? Like a myspace or even one I made?


myLot reputation of 93/100. LadyMarissa (1152)   ranked 2,368 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

THANK YOU thebeaddoodler. I've not been able to figure that one out!!! It's one of those newbie questions I just thought I had missed the instructions in my reading. Thanks again!!! happy thumbup wub


myLot reputation of 97/100. thebeaddoodler (1877)   ranked 1,133 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

It does not say any where that you have to hit enter after your html code. It's just something a few of us have found out for ourselves and pass it along any time we can. I'm not sure about the myspace code because I've never used it and don't know if it's html. Any html code will work. You can write your own, or cut and paste from another source.


myLot reputation of 92/100. carmelanirel (5749)   ranked 1,160 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

Thanks, that helps a lot..:)


myLot reputation of 92/100. carmelanirel (5749)   ranked 1,160 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

Ok, when I open "edit profile" I see 2 boxes that say "HTML sortie" when I tried putting it there, it didn't work so I reread what you said and clicked on "add content" and when I did, same thing happened that happened on my other computer, I got a "Add sortie goes here" and there is no place that is clickable except the close button..so I guess I still can't add a background..:(

Maybe I will see if my daughter can do it, if not, I am thinking what I first thought, we have such good security that it won't allow us to do some things..


myLot reputation of 97/100. thebeaddoodler (1877)   ranked 1,133 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

Oh, I didn't know you were wanting to add a background. That is out of my league, but it can be done. I've seen other profiles with different "skins".


myLot reputation of 92/100. carmelanirel (5749)   ranked 1,160 out of 26,079 in mylot.com  3 months ago

Well before I got this computer and I asked about adding a background, I thought people said that you put a code into the HTML sortie..

Well, that is ok, maybe I can find it somewhere here, because on the other computer, I didn't eve have the HTML option, but to add content, it won't let me.. sad

To change your avi, you go to preferences, I think. I'm not sure about the html, but would like to know that as well.
