How do you set up your avatar? I have tried using a URL but it states the URL is invalid. Can I load a photo from my PC?

You have to use a photo hosting service like photobucket.

I have made a photobucket account for the purpose of making an avatar that will work on this site. I uploaded a picture, cropped it, and resized it so that it is 75 x 75 pixels, 6 KB. I copied and pasted the correct link into the link off-site bar and specified in the avatar dimensions bar that the dimensions were 75 x 75 pixels. It said it was successful, but when I checked my profile, it doesn't show a picture.

What should I do?

Looks like the link you used is to the Photobucket console, you just need a direct link to the photo.


This is what you currently have - http://s1163.photobucket.com/albums/q54 ... 32-2-1.jpg
