hi DG
you need to find a place to host your pic and then use that URL to make an avatar..I use Photobucket.com..it's free hosting for images...you get a free account there and UPLOAD the pic you want..then you use the URL given for that pic to put in Edit Avatar > enter avatar URL...DONE! good luck! :-)

photobucket isn't very good. www.upit.be you don't even need to sign up

i have no probs with photobucket MItsuko...so for me it's good!

[Skypigeon]

That's not quite true, Skypigeon, this is one method. The other way is to just upload it directly from your computer. No URL necessary.

ok elvago...for me your method didn't work properly so I got the "hosting-method" going instead :-D

[snookersfun]

OK, good way to find a small picture is doing image search via google and then save the small picture coming up (vs. going into the url of the original picture). These are usually just in the right size.
After that you just upload them from your computer into the Avatar.

Hope to see some success soon

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB

Thanks. I had seen that. I took my favourite picture last night and rescaled it with Photoshop so it was below that size, and saved it as .jpg and alternatively .bmp, but neither one uploaded successfully. I can't remember exactly what the error message was, and it was getting a bit late - perhaps I'll try again tonight.

Hi skypigeeon. Thanks. I tried the uploading directly from my computer method, which didn't seem to work. I got a profile picture up there though.

Once you have rescaled, copy it to paint and save as jpg, then try again.

,,,,,so size is important then

Yes Cessy. Or skill - if you're size is somewhat extreme. Both ways

I no wonder any longer why you called yourself April madness,

[April madness]

Maybe because I am mad?

Honestly - that's because of snooker madness that starts in April every year
