OK, I've just spent nearly 2 hours trying to get a pic onto my avatar - and it just won't do it !?!?!
I've reduced down a pic to 64x68 (bmp image), put it on my photobucket account, and copied it to the URL box on modify my account.
It's in there, but when I click to modify it, it won't appear!
What am I doing wrong? HELP!

Umm...I'm not sure, perhaps it's because you've saved it as a bitmap, I know some forums will only accept jpeg or gif files, I'm not sure if it applies to this forum but it's the only thing I can think of.

Are you just using the URL? *stupid question soz* as in, on the forum you use [ img] [/img ] but in the avatar box you just use the code; blablabla.com/pic2.jpegWow that link brings up a website  I just made it up as well! |

OK Whitmoregirl, please tell me exactly how you got your pic of kess & kali on your Avatar.
I have saved my photos on my - MY PICTURES file (on my computer) - and also in my Photobucket account. So which ones do I use and how can I get them into my profile and modify it???
Sorry, I'm going to sort this thing if it kills me !!!!!
Thanks in advance LOL

Ok gonna go through step by step, so bear with me as I haven't changed the avi for a while  Upload the picture you want onto the photobucket account (if you have catagories, put it in one of them before using the link otherwise it will just show a box with a red x). When it is uploaded, take the URL code and paste it into the avatar box, and put the length and height to something like 86 for starters. Then select update at the bottom. *should* appear - just alter the size of the height and width (up to 100 I think) until it looks right  Fingers crossed that works for you! |

You need to cross your fingers a bit harder! Still no joy  But, as you may have noticed it will go in under the signatures! How weird is that!!!!! Why won't it go in the avatar when I can put it the signatures?  I'm not doing anything different - I promise Yours, very confused LOL Caroline |

lol
for future reference in photobucket you get 3 tags, the URL (true address of the picture), the html one and the img one for forums.
SO if yoru asked for url it's the first one.
If PBs not set to show this you can set it to do so.
