Since several of us, have had trouble getting avatars to work here, I'll post this for those that need help, and for those that will come later.
Here we go...
1) your avatar picutre has to be stored on a website, and you need the URL of the picture. It can't be just on your computer.
2) when you click on My profile, you will see a line that says "Your Picture". This is a photo, that will Only appear in your profile. It's not the picture, that appears beside your posts. That is called your Avatar.
3) If you go to the line Avatar Image, you will see your current avatar, or a black box. click on "selecta a different avatar Image"
4) A window will pop up, showing the available site avatars, that you Can use, but to get your own, got to the botton and put the URL from step 1, into the box, and click the "set URL" button.
5) your avatar picture should not appear in the upper left corner of the window, so hit "select this avatar" and the window will close.
6) Your profile page, should now show your chosen avatar at the Avatar image line.
7) Note, that only new posts, will have this avatar, and older posts with a site avatar, will still have the old one.
That's all there is to it, but if you need more help, please pm/email/YIM me, and I will do my best.
Cheers

Just wanted to also say that in your profile the sapce for your picture URL will only take so many spaces...so the space for your Avatar URL is longer..
Bulldog..

Something that I was having trouble with when applying my avatar was that it would show up on my profile but it wouldn't show up when I posted. Then I logged off and when I logged back in, it worked. Go figure?

SUJ, maybe I should have done that too! My pic also showed up in my profile but not on a post, so I "gave up" and took the URL out. Maybe I'll try it again later, or maybe I'll just wait until I get some of my OWN cuba pics to post :)

HELP!!
Why is my avatar all blurred? Also do the avatar pics have to be JPG/GIF , can we use BMP images?
All help gratefully recieved :)

Oh Dear, i am feeling very silly, never had this much trouble with an avatar before :roll:
-
Off for a cup of tea, back later to try again!

IT Worked, It worked! :b:

Jules, I feel your pain (and your joy when it worked)
I had some problems too, but finally figured it out after a good nights sleep :)

I found that I had to log out and log back in to notice the change.

just checking to see if my avatar worked!!!

Lol
Funny, i didn't think i had done anything different either - it just seemed to work ;)
Logging off may have helped though Kimber, you may be right about that!

I had a tough time getting my picture to work too. I tried a number of times with no luck until I tried adding .jpg to the end of the URL for my picture. It may have worked by coincidence, but hey, it worked!!
As far as a blurred picture, maybe it has to do with the size and orientation of the picture and it needing to be stretched to fit the avatar window.
Maybe this will help.
