I have never had so much trouble posting something in my life. It shouldn't be this difficult. I'm trying to upload an avatar. When I enter the URL address, it tells me that the URL address is invalid. For the love of all that is good in the world, no, in the universe, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

Fins way down,

I had trouble too! A moderator saw my post and had me send her the pic I wanted uploaded as my avatar and posted it for me. I am sure they will do the same for you when they see your post
I wanna go back . . .

I'm trying to keep this simple. I've been using URL addresses of avatars/images in the user gallery. Tell me what to do.

Thanks,

I get that. :) But can you copy/paste which one you're trying to use, here:

And what you're trying to use should end with .jpg or .gif

Try using this link. :) What you need to do is put your mouse over the picture, right click, and go to properties to get the correct URL of the actual picture. :)

Ohhhh! Pretty!

Was anxious to see what you finally came up with :lol: I had tons of trouble the first time I had to put in an avatar. In fact someone had to lead me through it step by step.

Believe it or not, it is easier now. :P

My first and only avatar post was a nightmare. I finally got'er done but I'm not sure I could do it again.
Every day you wake up you get another chance to do it right.
