Still struggling witrh this 'avatar' when I am asked to submit a U R L address I do not fully understand this. I am not able to get any farther than that. Any help appreciated .Thank you.

[DrFilth]

have you got the picture on your computer ?

[nelliebee]

no.

[DrFilth]

can you put your cursor over the picture and right click and then save to your computer ?

make sure the email address you have on gravatar is the same as the one you have with answerbank.

when you go on gravatar you can click to load from your computer
pick the picture from your computer
just click yes and follow the gravatar instructions

Is Gravatar.com asking for a URL address?
Is it wanting the www.... address of the picture?

[nelliebee]

Thanks to you all, but I must be a bit slow today! The instructions tell me to 'choose where I would like to get the picture from' and when I choose 'an image from the internet' the next instruction asks me for the the U R L of the image which I am not able to get. Thick or what??

[DrFilth]

nelliebee that is why i asked can you save the picture you want onto your computer first
it is a lot easier if you have the picture on your computer

Alternatively if you click on the image - right click on the image and select Properties you can see the web address. You just highlihjt it, right click and select copy, and then paste that address into the Gravatar box asking for the URL.

Dr. Filth,thank you, but I cannot seem to get the picture, I'm sure iit is a simple task, perhaps I ought to ' sleep on it'. Thank you.

If you right click on the picture don't you get a 'Save Picture As 'option?

[DrFilth]

say to yourself if dr filth can do it
i can do it

You can use the address from your address bar at the top of the page. For this thread yours should read:

http://www.theanswerb...g/Question894778.html

You could try copy `n' pasting this...

into your gravatar account and carry on to the crop and finish page to see if it works. I hope this is clearer.

Thank you all very much for your time and patience with this problem, I must either be too tired or too thick!! I don't normally have this amount of queries to solve what must be the simplest of tasks. You all have interesting avatar pics but where do you view and choose these from ? i've been all over the 'puter and pressed every button available. I'm now thoroughly cheesed off and will have to ask my grandchildren to help this 'old lady'??!! Many thanks, have a pleasant evening.

[nelliebee]

At last!!! Thank you all for your patience with this, I can now call it a day (about time too)

[factor-fiction]

I can sleep soundly now.
