Rolling Eyes There is always one!


Checklist -

1. Is the avatar 100x100 pix max?
2. Have you uploaded it to a hosting site like photobucket?
3. Did you insert the URL into your profile and change the option?


If yes to all, post the URL so we can see where you messed up.

Actually, you don't have to wait for photobucket--go to tinypic.com and host it there.

Thanx for the tip, except everytime i tried hosting it, it would say"invalid fromat" except at the bottom it would have "valid formats" and they would be the same as the invalids. HELP!

I have gifs and jpegs up there with no problems. I did have problems with an animated gif I tried to put up there and with one of the new jpeg formats (I forget what its called right now). What format is your avatar? I'd be happy to try to help you, whatever poor help I can offer. I love looking at everyone's avatars. It's so cool this site has them.

HELP!

on uploadit.org, i was able to upload it, but now i can't preview it, and when i tried to load it on this site, it said the ever familiar "not a valid image" !

and on tinypic, i've made it the valid thing (jpg, bmp) and it still doesn't work!

WHAT DO I DO??

It sounds to me like the pic is to big to be used here. It has to be 100x100 or it wont work.
