I thought ur suppose to host a pic and then in your profile add the web addy to the box below the avatars, this has worked once for me but it's now dissappeared and I can't add a new one smileys/smiley19.gif

well.... use imageshack to host the image... (link on my sig... down there...)

then you shud see a 'Hotlink forum (1)' link... copy that into your profile on the signicture part which is in public profile... then simply press save at the bottom and go bk onto the forum or where ever you want to go on the site...

try that and reply back if it doesnt work...

you have to copy the url from imageshack or photobucket and the pic has to be smaller than 120x120 pixels.

make sure you press save.... if you dnt press save at the botton of the page on public profile it's like typing in a messege and not pressing post... you have to save it to make it there!

you've saved it as your sig, rather than your avatar! go to public profile, and type in the url next to where it says 'preview' smileys/smiley2.gif

can i only put my own picture on the avatar if im a premium member?
Simo
23rd April 2005, 03:59
NO, you can put your own image as your avatar as long as you upload it to the internet... the whole process is just simplified if you are a premium member.
