Hello simonaanton,

Seems that you are a newbie here. Welcome to My Lot and enjoy mylotting here! As for your question, here is the steps :-

1. Go to 'My Lot' on the top of the website and click 'edit your preferences' on your left hand side.

2. Go to 'customize your profile' where you can see 'browse' and click it.

3. You will see 'File upload' where search where do you keep your photo on your computer (such as My Picture, My Document and etc) and then click open and you will be back to your 'customize your profile' page.

4. Write your slogan (like My Cute Photo and etc) and the last thing is to click 'update'

Well, it is done. You will see your new avatar immediately. I hope it will help you a bit and good luck!

1. When I try to upload a photo, it says I have reached my limit, why? To fight abuse this feature has been implemented in myLot. Please try to upload pictures again tomorrow. Wait for about 24 hours after your last upload.

2. You can upload about 20 to 30 photos a day.

3. Only users with a rating over 500 will be allowed to upload photos into comments and responses.

4. How do I upload an image in my discussion?
a) To upload an image in your discussion, start a new discussion.

c) Upload your photo that relates to your topic, give your photo a subject name, and give some details about your photo.
d) Next add tags to your photo.
e) Once this is complete, click "upload your photo" and continue with the discussion process.

5. You can also upload photo in your interest.
a) Click your interest tab at the top of the page above the myLot big blue logo.

6. You can not delete photos that you have uploaded. You can only delete photos on your profile page.

7. I am having problems with my images, what can I do to fix the problem?
a) First, make sure the image you are attempting to upload is in a common format such as .gif or .jpg.
b) Next, make sure the filename is simple and short with no spaces or funny characters.
c) Next, make sure the file is less than 5mb. We do not allow images over 5mb.
d) After you upload the file, we compress the file further to a max of 256k. If the compression fails, the upload fails completely.
e) If none of these tips help, it's possible that the image is corrupted.
