avatars "how to"

[Rusty Arches]

Been following the how to posts on here re avatars

and posting pics, ive done the photobucket thing

and uploaded and scaled down the pics as instructed

with no problem "but" i cant get them to appear on

my profile just an empty box with a red x in the top left corner

photobucket has 4 links for pics and ive tried them all with no luck

I have also tried bad language brute force & repatedly thumping

the keyboard 

Any pointers please

Size Matters

You have to make sure your pic is small enough, not sure of the exact size but mine is 100 x 100 pixels (4kB)

You need to use the 'http' tag from photobucket.

Dont forget to delete the bit thats already in your profile by default.
It already says 'http://' DELETE THIS FIRST - then paste in the new url from photobucket.

Thanks guys checked the size issue  and pbucket lets you

adjust automatically for avatars so no problem there, and i did the

deleting the http bit before pasting the link. every time i paste the link

and click "change profile" at the bottom the page refreshes and the circle

 at the top of the page has been checked ( the one that lets you choose no pic/musicians etc)

and the url box below is blank

Just re read this and confused myself hope someone can

make sense of it i'm thinking maybe a cookie issue or firewall

You could always email me your avatar pic and I'll see if I can get it to work for you.
