If your avatar just isn't working, please post here and I will try to figure it out. I'll need the URL where the picture is hosted, and if there are more than one on the page I will also need a description of it.

I noticed that that site seems to have issues with the avatars disappearing and reappearing. Their site says 'free' though.. harrumph..
I guess the only thing i could suggest to help that is to move the picture to photobucket or something like that, and use THAT url instead.

There are 3 pages to the actual avatar. Since the site will not allow me to copy the code so I could read it in it's entirety I can't help you. I decided not to join the site and that may be the issue. Plus I did not want to download the avatar to my machine. I'm sure anyone with technical knowledge can make a complete dummy out of me and help you.  |

how's that? just in case though, i saved the url for your previous avatar in your profile under user notes... that way you wouldn't have to go looking for it again if you wanted to change it back. |

I'm having a bit of a problem with my avatar. I modified my profile twice but it doesn't show. Here's the code I copied. Can anyone help? (and tell me what I did wrong). Thanks. ![]() |

hi.. for the avatar, you don't need the img switches.. just the url. if you were going to put it as a picture in a post you would do [*img]http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3534/agathan.th.jpg[*/img] though (minus the *)

Thanks, moonbeam! I thought I had done that but I guess I missed something. Sometimes you can just overthink something!

it's because you need something that has a .jpg /.gif/ bmp extension rather than a webpage  but some of them require some weeding through of the code to find what you need. |

Thanks, Moonbeam. I found this .jpg picture when I went to Google, typed in pixies and hit the images search. I like this pixie and hope she can become my avatar. But, if not let me know if you have any other ideas? Below, I cut & pasted the url www.fishing4fun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pixies.jpg |
