Victoria,

I don't think you have to host the photo on another site. I think you can just upload it from your hard drive directly to the site. Try it again without uploading it to another site.

I am having avatar issues. I think I am following the directions correctly. First I resized a picture using the suggested web site then hosted it at that web site's sister site. When I input that at the "edit profile" section, initially I see my picture. Then every subsequent time, I get the dreaded little red x. There must be a simple solution. Help, please?

I do not believe we can upload and use animated GIF files. Am I right about this, Serge?

Works like a dream. All sorts of options for Avatars become available - silly convention photos, trip remembrances.

A neat Web site will resize avatars for you. Please go to www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar , select a picture to upload, then select the size as being no larger than 160. Click "Resize." A new window will appear with about three or four different images. Select the one you like the best, right-click on it, and select "Save Image As." Save the image to a place where you will find it easily on your computer. Then follow the instructions above to upload the avatar into the forum. ;-)
