I don't use my own computer to do my role playing.

When I try to upload an image for my avatar, the file name of the image had the full complete name of the computer's owner in the image's name. (Something like C:/desktop/images/[His name]/pic of chick … understand?)

I don't think he would want his name on an image attached to a web site on which I am seeking erotic role play. (He thinks I'm doing homework for my college classes.)

Any ideas on how I can upload an image in another way? My other role play site allows me to upload directly from an image on the internet (a URL address, right?).

First off, are you sure that example is the name of the file? That seems more like the path with the string of letters/numbers following the final slash is the name of the file itself.

I do not believe any website would save onto the file location of any data uploaded, or at least any respectable one, but rather save the content of the file itself when engaged in a standard handshake.

If your prefer to side on caution (and yeah, usually better to be safe than sorry) then as I believe the only way to upload a profile image is from the computer directly you can make an alternate or a guest account on the pc. Copy the image over to that account and upload from that destination so instead of the path being (Drive/Users/{his name}/Pictures...) it would be (Drive/Users{different name/guest}/Pictures...)

Hope this helps

I contemplated that, but it's not my computer and I don't think I can do that ... or do that witbout raising the computer owner's eyebrows. But I will check into it, and I sincerely thank you for your response.

Sounds like your problem isn't uploading from someone else's computer, as you're perfectly capable of doing that. Here are a few simple methods to avoid your situation.

This is the path.

Totally unrelated to the issue at hand. Assuming you are over 18 (you're in college, so you should be) and the image is safe-for-work, you should be fine:

Download the image.

Upload it here.

Delete the image.

It's now gone, and the image will stay uploaded as your avatar.

I understand all that. Here's my question: is there any way of someone -- here on RPG or some hacker -- seeing the path name? I know, I know, why would anyone care to look; and hackers, well, hell, they probably already know who I am and whose computer I'm using.

I just want to be sure that no one will ever be able to see the path name and know whose computer I'm using. Is the path name … I dunno, registered any place that some one can access it. I'm not a computer person; I use them, that's all. So I don't know these things.

A hackers more likely to freeze up your PC with ransomeware, launch a DDoS attack, or steal your IP Address and personal info than hack your RP Guild account to look at where you got your avatar from. As for other user's, who aren't hacking (haven't known of any who do that on here and like I said, they'd use their skills for something more annoying or lucrative), there isn't anyway for them to see the file path. You could use Inspect to find it I suppose but again, you'd have to know what each line of code means and how to read it to begin with.

Besides, no one on here is interested in where you uploaded the pic from. We're all too preoccupied with roleplaying and starting things in the Status Bar to bother with that kind of thing.

Edit: You, and your friend who owns the PC, should be more worried about viruses, malware, or a hacker stealing your personal info and using it to their own ends rather than where an avatar was uploaded from.

Yes, I agree with you … with all of you. Thanks for reassuring me. Now … just have to see if I can find the pic I want … hmmmm…. ;)

You're welcome.

So, one last question …
Does anyone know of a free, online pic-to-art converter that doesn't require me to download their program or include their advertising in my image?

I want to use a pic I have but as a graphic, some form of art. In other words, not "live" pic form.

I found a couple of them online, but they all want me to pay or include their logo.

Maybe I'll just have to find a pre-fab animation...

@Allison2016 Pixlr is a good editing place. You can upload from your computer or directly from the net and it has similar functions to photoshop. No marks when you save. I use it constantly for almost everything I have to do image wise in RP from icons to maps and more - no download required - do use a ad blocker though as it is ad heavy in the program.

@Allison2016 Unless you are handing this mysterious person that runs your computer life your password on RPG, no, he will not be able to see it (and hackers have far more interesting things to look at than what your picture folder looks like).

Unsure what you're asking here. You're asking how to convert it from a .GIF to a .PNG or .JP(E)G?

I have a pic that I would like to turn into art ... drawing. I found some sites that do that, but everyone wants to get paid, of course.

I am still not sure what you want. Can you show me the image and an example of what you want.

I think what she is asking for is for someone to take a real life photo and then create a drawing based on that photo... And I honestly have no idea how to do that easily without paying someone.

Oh.

Yeah, they don't do that for free. I could help but it won't look like a drawing.

I went with the pic instead of altering it into a drawing. I am hoping it doesn't offend the Mods, because her panties are showing. If it does, I'm sure they'll tell me.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I am going to go ahead and unsubscribe from this thread. :)
