Images ?

[ Edited ]

Do avatar images in storefronts need to be copyrighted ? In other words can I just put a random image that I find on the internet, or does it have to be material or images that I posses the copyright to ? What happens if I upload an avatar image or picture that somebody else has the copyright to ? :smileyindifferent:  

Can I still edit my storefront, or its layout or content after I have already updated or upgraded it to Author Spotlight ??  :smileysurprised:

You shouldn't rip off other people's work.

If you use this site you are presumably producing your own copyrighted work - is it all right for others to rip that off?

 

There are plenty of copyright free images around or get out your camera and create one yourself

 I tried to upload to my storefront a picture that I took with my camera and it didn`t let me upload it :smileysad:

 

It says:

You uploaded a file that is not a valid image. We have not changed your avatar.

 

 

HELP !!! :smileysad: :smileyindifferent:

Re: Images ?

You can upload your own picture for an avatar.
Make sure it is a reasonable size first, say 60x80px, and a jpg.
Once uploaded you will have to wait a couple of days before you can use it as it has to be approved first.

And please throw away the colouring pencils. We like Black or even black.

Re: Images ?

When you say avatar,what do you mean by that ?? So the avatar or picture or image has to be black and white only ?? :smileysurprised:  

 

Can I still change the images after I have upgraded the page or storefront  or it to author spotlight page ?  :smileyindifferent:

Don't be daft - your fancy coloured text in previous messages.

Re: Images ?

Is this a rule of LULU forums, and then why is the option of changing the font letters colors available then, to anyone who posts ? :smileysurprised: :smileyindifferent:

Re: Images ?

No - it's Forum Etiquette as is the use of no ALL CAPS, normally sized fonts etc.
Ignoring the etiquette will win you no friends and you will find any messages you post will probably be ignored.
