Why can't I set my avitar pic?

I have a pic in my profile but it doesnt show up in my posts

Are you going to the My Rollitup link at the top of the page?

Yes I have

and I assume you are using the 'change avatar' button on the left side?

ooops, meant EDIT avatar

Go to General Settings tab below edit avatar. scroll down to thread display options. Is the show avatar box checked?

Your Profile Picture and Avatar are different images. The Avatar shows in your posts.

How do you get your avatar to show?

you've got to go to my avatar just like you did with your profile pix..

Thanx so much racer

still didn't get it?? go to my rollitup, my settings, and click on edit avatar... from there you can either use a pix of ur computer, or copy and paste and image url from a website... do that, save changes and you should have it..

Got it thanx so much. If I put as much effort into computers as I do growing I might be able to understand the damn thing.
I have one more question, when I click on thread tools the box comes up with, show printable version, email this page and subscribe to thread. I can barely see the letters. Is this something I can change or is it part of a RIU problem?

yah, it's an riu problem... i'll never understand that one, it is what it is i guess, lol..

Thanx again for your help

how does one add pictures to his/her albums
