Old H Instructionals

Define yourself an Old Heatonian Icon

  1. Find an image you wish to use.  Size doesn’t matter as the software will resize it, but try and keep it roughly square so it doesn’t look too weird when its resized.
  2. Browse to www.gravatar.com
  3. Set up an account using the email address you use when registering to post comments on the Old Heatonian.  (You will be asked to confirm by checking your email and following the instructions)
  4. Once you have an account set up, follow the instructions and upload your image, crop it if required, save it and choose it.
  5. If you have done everything correctly, your comments should now be displayed with your chosen icon.

Happy Days!

    if anyone struggles with this, I will do most of it for you. This will cost you a pint of lovely lovely Stella (for me of course!)

    Its worked now. There must be some sort of delay between registering your image and it actually appearing.

    Hmm, there does appear to be a problem with Animated Gifs… I’ll look into it

  • By spikeNo Gravatar, January 7, 2009 @ 1:53 pm

    It may have somthing to doo with the resizing of the gifs themselves as this avatar is cropped from the original giffers

    Did mine and Bedmasters easy peasy. Was a delay but i knew that ‘cos Funk told me there would be. I love technology.

    Fanackapan, that is what i meant, i love technology? Get it? got it? Good. By the way love the jokes you sent, have you no work to do? Keep it real hun. xx Spike ditto the above. So if it is not an animated gif. WHAT IS IT THEN?? Do tell or is that too technical for little old me…..Funk you stay out of this ‘cos i know you’ll know tha be laughing your socks off, but i don’t care so there. Going to play spider now byeeeee

    An animated .gif is a moving image that you can use as your avatar, currently this site only supports .jpeg, .bmp etc. For example, all user images are stationary… including yours.

    Sorry Jobcentreplus but can’t really explain it any simpler.

  • By JobcentreplusNo Gravatar, January 8, 2009 @ 5:28 pm

    That is brill Fanackapan, i understand now, i know jpeg and bmp, so i get it now, stationary or moving, got it. Cheers mate x
