The Checker Taxi Stand

A club member asked me how to do this. There used to be a posting but I couldn't find it with a quick search so I'm repeating the instructions here:

1 - Find the photo you want to use on your machine (or go take a photo with your camera and upload to your computer)

2 - Use Photoshop (or other photo editing program but Photoshop is the easiest I've found for this because it has a pixel count feature on one of the screens if you dig deep enough), and crop / resize it to no more than 100 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall and 6K in size or less

Note: If you do not have any photo editing software, you can use the Paint program included in Windows and some creative use of the Image tab - Stretch / Skew option and then double-check the pixel count with Image tab - Attributes option

3 - Save the resized photo under a new name (make a note of the file name and directory because you'll need it in step 10 & 11)

4 - Go to the club web site

5 - Log in with your username and password

6 - Go to the message board

7 - Select profile in the upper gray menu bar

8 - Scroll down to "Avatar Control Panel"

9 - On "Upload Avatar from Your Machine" click browse

10 - Find the photo from step 3

11 - Select it

12 - Click "Submit"

Until you change it, that photo will be associated with your message postings.
