    Hi
    I’m a newbie and I am trying to add a profile picture. Can anyone explain how I do this? I think my computer is a bit ancient and doesn’t do all it’s meant to!
    Thanks, Love my chicken

    @Love my chicken scroll to the top of the page to where has your name on the right, hover the cursor over your name and a drop down will have the word Avatar. Click on that and it will open a window where it will say "Upload Avatar" and you click on "Choose File".

    This should take you to your File Manager (or equivalent) where you can go to your photos and pick one.

    Good luck :blue thumb:

      Thank you all sorted. My only problem now is I can’t seem to click on the like thumbs up for voting. Is it because I’m too new to vote?
      Thanks

      We are not entirely sure why you can't click on the thumbs up button. Years ago new members needed a minimum of 10 posts to do so but we think that has been scrapped.

      You can't 'like' your own posts by the way.

      Which photo were you trying to vote for ?

      I have just had a little furtle under the GC bonnet @Love my chicken, see if that sorts your problem.

          What do you see @Love my chicken ? Do you see the Thumbs Up button? When you hover your mouse over it do you get a little balloon over it with the word 'Like' as per this screen grab:

          upload_2022-6-9_22-58-29.png

          What happens when you left click on the 'Thumbs Up' button, do you get any error message?

          I am so sorry, I really don’t know a lot about computers. I was clicking on the left hand thumbs up! What a muppet!!! I’m sorted now, thank you.
          I have made an impression anyway

            Actually I can see that is a bit confusing having two thumbs up icons, especially if you look at it for the first time. Great you got it sorted @Love my chicken :blue thumb:
