Under the control panel, click Edit proile. Scroll down where it says Avatar URL paste in the URL of your avatar!

You need to upload an image somewhere and then view that image in your browser. Right click on the image and then properties and you'll see the URL you need to paste in.

You could upload a small image to this site, or you could host your own.

Ah I see where you're having problems. Your image has lots of white space around it. You need to edit the image and lose the white space.

You've very nearly done it!

Just remove the last [/img] from the avatar URL box. What you have address wise is fine - just need to remove the last bit [/img]

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Nope. It doesn't.

Who needs an avatar.

Ok, I followed the procedure, resized the avatar to be 153x153 pixels, upload it to on my photo archive, copy the url under the picture, removed the last [/img], edited my profile and when it takes you back to the other page with your profile, my avatar box is blank.

What am i doing wrong?

Never works when i do it that way either. Right click on the image, go to properties, copy the location and paste that into the avatar box





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?
