AVITAR CHANGE????

I have been trying to change my avitar. I croped a new pic to the required size, tried the change button and selected new pic, old pic still is there but distorted.  then tried deleating it and reuploading the one I want, old pic came back still distorted...

So what am I not doing correctly?  its bugging me now.

Re: AVITAR CHANGE????

I'm not sure if you're working on it right now or not... but when I came to the post I saw the pic of you stretched out.... I went to your profile and looked to see what you had set as the avitar and saw a diff pic.  When I came back, viola!  There it was!  Hopefully you've got this figured out now!  wink

Only one question... since the pic HAS to be so small, I can't for the life of me make out what's IN the pic????  sad

Well it was a pic I made to go along with my quote. its a bunch of stomp boxes.   But im looking at it and its still teh distorted picture of me!  That other one I used MS Photo editor and resized it to the specified pixels and it got very small.

Can I send you a pic and see if you can get teh change to take?  OH and didnt you say you have bought some Rondo guitars?

Re: AVITAR CHANGE????

Well, now you've got another new one in there!  wink 

Sure, you can send me a pic and I'll see if I can get it to take if you'd like.

Yes, I bought my husband and my son each an electric from Rondo.  Great value, great service, and both gutars are still going strong a few years in.  The only issue so far was with my son's one of the dohickies that holds the strings in place came off.  He bought a package of new ones for a few bucks and replaced it and all is well. smile  OH - and they were far from being in tune when opened.  The adjustable bridge on my husband's was all straight and in line and he had to do lots of fiddling to get it where it would be in tune.  I don't know anything really about them, but I was kind of surprised that it didn't come with some sort of "proper" settings in place like most guitars (would have gotten at least that much free from a local store)... but, he had fun being forced to learn about it and fiddle.  wink

Yep I figured out what my problem was,,, I was forgetting to hit the little button at the bottom of the page sad

I was asking about Rondo cause I saw a guitar that probably is the one Kramer used for the striker that I used to have. It is only 200 bucks W/ the Floyd Rose (licenced copy but im good with that) I just take for granted that any on-line guitar will require set up and tweaking, an new strings.

Was mainly wondering about the quality of product after a few years. So thanks for that answer wink  (ok I need a cheat sheet for the smily faces.  are there any more than these two?)

Re: AVITAR CHANGE????

Well, Roger got the smilie issue for ya... as for the "seeing your pic" you may want to delete cookies and such.  In IE you go to tools, Internet Options, delete browsing history.

Those pics can often be saved as temp files to allow webpages to load faster and may not refresh on their own.  wink
