One of my players put a character pog on his character sheet and we cant figure out how to change it back so that the portrait he is using will be his token on the map instead of the pog. Did we miss something or should we just delete that character and write it up again fresh

Drop the new image on the token spot I believe.

You want to revert the character token back to the character portrait from a pog?

First, click the PCs button on the right of the FG desktop to see the list of Characters. Then drag and drop the portrait from that PC in the Character Selection pop up on top of the pog. That will relink the character portrait as a token. Either the DM or Player should be able to do this.

Couple of other ways you can do it w/o having to recreate the character.

1) Open up the campaign folder outside of Fantasy Grounds and find db.xml. Open it with notepad, textpad, whatever. Look for the player record under <charsheet> and find the line that says <token type="token">tokens/shared/sometoken.png</token> and delete it. Save db.xml and start FG back up.

2) Copy the player portrait into the shared token folder. Drag and drop onto the char sheet.

Follow Griogre's instructions - no need to edit any files. Or drag the portrait from the desktop onto the token slot on the PC charsheet (if the player has selected their character and the portrait is on the desktop).
