Hi,
I have been trying to use a pic of my own as an avatar. It's a 60 X 60 Gif that shows up on the profile modification page but when I go to save it says "Avatar not found/ invalid file". I am pretty sure it can find the icon so I have to ask, what's a valid file 
Also am I do daft to find it or doesn't the forums have search functions

The search page allow searches on the archive for stories but also the forum. Go on, have a look. 
Regarding the avatar, can you send me the link where you're trying to point to? I'll go check it out. You can use the support@openscrolls.net e-mail if you prefer for further dicussion on this.
(We don't host avatars here except for a few you can choose from. If you want your own thing, it has to be hosted somewhere else and you point to it by giving the URL of where that file is sitting.)
do.

There is a firewall problem preventng access to verify the external avatar is not too large. Still working out the best way to fix it, but there is not an easy solution.

Woo-hoo! 
OK, I didn't think I'd be spending my entire Christmas holiday fixing this one, but for those of you that want an evternal avatar, go ahead and do it.
Hopefully fixed - it not, let me know and ruin my New Year celebrations.
(Still a small problem with some filenames with spaces in them, but I'm not going to panic about that for now  )
