We've added a screen that allows you to upload a new image to use as your detective's avatar. The process will automatically make the image black and white and will scale/crop it to the correct size, but if you're not happy with the way the system resizes your image, you may want to crop it yourself so you have more control (100x78 pixels).

To upload an avatar image:
1) Go to your detective screen
2) Click on "Avatar" in the Account Settings section.
3) Select an image file from your own computer and click "Save"

Please try to keep the images in theme and appropriate. If we have problems with people uploading inappropriate images, we'll put in some kind of moderator approval process. Since this is limited to subscribers only, I'm hoping we won't need to do that.

Enjoy!

make sure it's a .jpg and I'd steer away from any name that is purely numbers. that's just from my own personal experience.

I'm told you can only use Jpeg (???, think that's what they're called, anyway), images. Apparently the system doesn't seem to like stuff that has stuff with a lot of numbers in the name/title of the image/picture. I'm told you have to rename your image something else, THEN upload (??, think that's the term for it) your renamed image, and that should go over better.

I officially hold the title of World's Worst Programming Idiot, so I give no guarantees bout the above stuff. It's simply taken from info I've recently read off the Main Boards. You might do some reading round the Sleuth Talk Board, and see if you can find anything useful.

Hope you find your face soon!! ;-)

Sleuth Admin, PLEASE help me.
I'm without an avatar for 1 whole day.
Yes, I know you'd say that you wouldn't take an image whose title is purely numbers, so I've also added a few alphabets to it.
PLEASE make my avatar a proper picture. I wouldn't like being a headless body.

Would it be that it was simply not room for any more pictures on the server??? It seems like every change of avatar is done by uploading a new picture... - and the service is very popular...
I hope very much that I am wrong! :-)
Anyone else who is able to change their avatar from now on and forth please tell that I am wrong...

See my thread in Sleuth Talk, "My Face is Stuck"

I think there is just a lag on the server so it takes a little while for it to go through.

I'm not so sure that is it Heim.

I have an agent that has been trying for DAYS now to change her avatar and she cannot. She has made sure it is jpeg and has made sure to rename the picture so it doesn't contain numbers or any such things. And still it shows an blank square after saying her avatar was successfully loaded.

What will I do now? Do you mean to say I'm stuck forever?
