Mayleng, I must be doing something wrong, but can not understand what. I know I am somewhat computer challenged. anyhow, I tried to change my avitar from what you have to a free one I found on the web, I did what it said, www.avatarpimp.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1396I put that under the avitar instruction, put none under which picture, put 100 x 100 and I get nothing. what am I doing wrong? Sorry to be a pain!  |

4myaustin, you need to copy the avatar and put it in your computer and the upload it to a site that holds photos, pics etc. like www.ripway.com or www.villagephotos.com/Once you have done that, it will give your the url of the picture. You then put the url in Avatar URL in your profile. |

Using your own avatar is a bit more complicated because it is not within the control of this board. It is done by the individuals, which is why I gave a lot more avatars here than what proboards originally gave. You have do it yourself and have your own photo site to do it. But tell me which one you want, and I'll do it for you using my photo storage site.

I have all but given up, I decided that I can not figure out how to get one from elsewhere so I decided to change one from your list, but it wont update for me. I clicked the modify button is there something else I am supposed to do? Thanks

yes, click the avatar you want, then delete the url that is showing below (that is the old url). then modify.
Which avatar do you want? I can do it for you.

mayleng, I followed your instructions - uploaded a pic to flickr, got the url and added it to my profile, made the height and width 100 and hit Modify Profile. I'm sure I have the correct address, but when I go back into my profile the address isn't there.

After you did that, did you click "modify" profile at the bottom.

Make sure the URL ends in an image extension (such as .jpg, .bmp, .png, or .gif)

Right click on the image, click Properties.
Copy that URL

Try what bros suggested, I can't get into that page with your link. The url needs to end with a .jpg or one of the extension bros mentioned.
