can't manually texture an avatar

[Rumancekk]

i know i have like 3 threads in here right now but i have 3 problems.

i'm trying to texture an avatar (Dawn Kingdoms Ripper) with a manual skin texture i bought. i am following the directions. it is for the correct avatar...

i'm clicking 'select face' and 'edit linked' then dragging the texture in under the texture tab

but instead of applying it just automatically switches back to the original skin. the skin is modify.  the dinosaur is modify... so why isn't this working?

i don't know what else to try. and yes, i asked in the group.

Are you wearing the avatar or did you rez it on the ground? There are certain combinations of perms in non-fullperm textures that don't work on worn items (I think it's no-transfer, though I could be wrong). Anyway, if the texture isn't fullperm, try rezzing the avatar on the ground.

That said, textures reverting to previous while you are building is a common bug in SL, it may help to get the region restarted. It annoys the eff out of me sometimes, and when it happens I just give up and try again another day.
