Good evening, ive been trying to upload a new avatar/display picture up, i had one previously but it never showed up despite the space quite clearly being filled up with the non present picture that shouldve been there. I now am trying to upload a new picture using the URL as instructed and specifying the size but when i click modify profile it doesnt update whatsoever. Any suggestions or answers from anyone.
Cheers all Phil

Hi Phil, There are 3 things that can stop your selected Avatar working: 1. If it's too big (you need it to be no bigger than 100 x 90). 2. If when you copy/paste from the URL you have left as bookends. Take this away. 3. If you are trying to host it using your own computer's mainframe. You need an independent website (eg Jurko.com) that allows third parties to copy, or - even better - use a specialist hosting website such as Tinypics.com. Have another try ! Good luck, tommo

If you use Tinypic there is an option to reduce any JPEG you wish to use to avatar size (100 pixels on the longest edge) and select the "Direct Link for Layouts" option after Tinypiccing ;)
