Landyandy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi Pete , have you tried hosting your image on a photo hosting site like www.imageshack.us or www.tinypic.com these seem to work for me. Hope this helps. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pete '74 SIII Pete Ditto comment - use www.imageshack.us which is FREE and VERY easy to use....just upload your Avatar in the appropriate size and this generates a URL [web address] which you can paste into the 'Your Avatar' box....works a treat. Most image formats OK. Avatar size should normally be of the order of 64 x 64 pixels.....mine is 60 x 64. Hope this helps. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Pete, I got the same response, when I tried to "upload" my avatar. So I simply "hosted" it myself, problem solved. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibexman Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I cant get it to work either??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I could not get mine working either when uploading it to the forum, so I put a link from a hosting site on and now it seems to be OK. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
