Go to my controls, then EDIT AVATAR OPTIONS... you went to "personal photo" probably, which you can't do, but the avatar is what shows up next to your post. Try that ;)

I tried, but it won't let me put in a personal photo. How did the others get one in there? Can we ask Scott for permission? I know a few others have one...there's got to be a way!

It only will accept certain formats so make sure it is a jpg file or one that they accept. I had trouble with this too with changing my avatar. It should work then.

You can't do a personal photo. You need to do edit avatar settings, which you're allowed to do. Then choose one from the gallery or import one with a file extension that is allowed...they list them if you click on edit avatar settings.

I tried to do a Kodak Easy Share photo that was a jpg file, which is allowed. It still says I am not allowed...oh well. I don't know what else to try so I guess I won't waste any more time on it!

My photo is too big. It is about 200KB which I know is too big but I don't know how to get it to be smaller. I tried looking around on EasyShare and there's nothing that says "resize" or anything like that. All of the Kodak pics are too big so I guess I won't be putting a pic on as I don't have a scanner to create a smaller photo! What a bummer...

Windows has a program in the accessories folder called "Paint" which can do this. Use it to open the file. Use the Image pull-down and select Stretch/Skew, and enter a value less than 100 for stretch; it will shink the image. Use the same value for both horizontal and vertial, or you will distort the picture. You can also use this tool to crop the image, although that is a bit trickier. Use "Save As..." to save the altered image under a new name, since the shrunken image has reduced resolution compared to the original.

Depending on the level of windows and other options, you may be able to access Paint by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit from the options.

You can resize your pictures to fit the avator guidelines on this board. Go to image (on the tool bar) then go to Resize/Resample. Click on set new size and make the width 149 and height 111. That should work! If not, just make the picture smaller. And don't forget to save the new setting!

Well, I will try again when I get home. But I am a tech dummy. Some of those instructions you guys wrote were a little steep for me; I hate to admit it.

but I will try later!

Go here: Open Original Shared Link

To get a picture of your own, click on browse, and pick a picture of yours that has a correct file extension (meaning it ends in .webp, .webp, or .png). A file extension is the thing that comes at the end of a document, for example, all your word documents end in .doc.

Second, make sure that it's no larger than 150 x 150 pixels. You can deal with this by cropping your picture as psawyer suggested. The easiest way to crop is to select the part of the picture that you want with a select tool, then click crop.

Finally, make sure the picture is of the correct memory size (less than 50 KB). To do this, go to where your picture is stored (in "my documents or whatever) and right click on it, then choose properties. It will say "Size: ___ KB). If the picture is over 50 kb, the board will reject it. It sounds complicated, but it isn't really and just ask if you want me to elaborate on something ;)

Your avatar must be no bigger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels in size. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB.

The following file types are allowed: gif .webp .webp .png

Thanks guys :P . Now my pic will be available constantly. Cause geocities didn't show it anymore after a while. And now I can change it more frequently and on the other message boards I am I won't have problems with loading up either anymore. Cool!

So, am I the only male willing to post my own picture? All I see are pictures of women. I know celiac3270 is male, but he is hiding behind a waterfall. I hope he doesn't get too wet :lol:

:huh: I realize that the majority of the participants on this board are female, and that the vast majority are young. I'm 50 and male... :ph34r:

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By Kmd2024 · Posted

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      By trents · Posted

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By Kmd2024 · Posted

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By DjinnDjab · Posted

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.
