Firstly, I chose a picture for my avatar and made it small enough to fit the constraints dictated by the site. I put this image into photobucket.
On my profile, the box next to Avatar has 'None' written in it.
Then below it the next box says Avatar URL. In there I pasted the URL code from photobucket.
The boxes below have the dimensions of the avatar. I can't remember if I put them in or if they were generated automatically. Hope that helps a bit.

ok thanks fougere...think i did that...i took a picture that i put to photobucket and clicked image...like i would when i am putting the photo onto this forum did like you said when i was trying this morn but still it didnt accept it:( do you think i need to alter the photo BEFORE i put it to photo bucket and make it a lot smaller???
when i put a photo onto a thread from photo bucket i dont alter the size..so do you think i will need to if i am to use it as an avator? if so what sizeing do i put in???

An avatar photo can be no bigger than 100 x 100 and you need to enter the domensions, or you are likely to get a distorted picture, could be interesting.
The link you need from Photobucket is the "email IM" or the "Direct" Link, not sure at the moment which one, but it starts with http:// not the Img link.

I've had problems too. I used to have an avatar and thought I would change it ...... BIG mistake! I haven't been able to put another on since!  O.K. I've just tried twice again to put an avatar on (size is 100x75) and it's still not working. |
