Forum Picture

How do we pick one of those? I tried in Profile and nothing happened.

Click "Profile" then hover over the image you have, it will say "Change Picture" so click those words. You will then get a list of avatars to choose from.

click profile, then edit profile in top right, then choose picture under current picture on the left.

I click on a picture, nothing happens. I move my mouse of the picture and it goes opaque again. I click save but nothing happens, not selected I guess.

Hover over the picture, don't just click it. At the top of the image a black bar should appear with the words "Change Picture." That's what you need to click.

Heavens, I managed it, thanks a lot.

How did you do it? I hover over the picture and all that happens is it highlights and that's it.

Downloaded Firefox and was able to change it finally and I must say the forums look better in Firefox then in IE.

That does not seem to work within IE. "Something" seems to happen, since the highlight occurs, but is very slow (I mean, when we move the mouse, the "focus" stick where it was for a much longer time than it should), but the "bar" (floating menu?) does not appear. Even with compatibility mode. Maybe the site is using an HTML5 tag not supported by IE?

OMG! That was ridiculous. No black bar appeared for me, but I clicked the VERY edge of the picture and that worked. I had been trying all week to change mine. Who coded the clicking option on those? Thank you for helping.

Hey hey hey! I also blindly clicked on the very top-right corner of the picture with focus, and here I have my picture.

Quite probably someone (IE) not agreeing with what a given HTML5 tag (unknown to me which one exactly) should do.

For me it was the top left corner ..but it worked

It seems to be erratic, I just clicked and waited a few times. Rather than mad clicking all over.

Don't tell anyone else though or they will nab your picture and I already have seen mine a couple of times elsewhere.

For me to get it to work with IE 11, I had to click on the very top of the image, which then kept the image highlighted so I could scroll down the page and save it.

It appears to have issues with IE. As does life itself.

Chrome is happiness.

I didn't want to be bothered downloading a whole new browser just for this, so I used the Chrome browser that's on my phone. An even simpler fix. Viola.

I was a bit late but glad you managed it! Next is the sig!
