Probs adding an Avatar

[Monkeynutz]

Hi there,

I've been trying to add an avatar for a while now, using Photobucket, but even though I use the 'URL' option, it keeps returning an 'invalid' message.

Please can anyone offer some help and/or maybe suggest another host site I could use? I am going nuts over it, lol. Have tried to upload from my pc, and reduced the size, but it seems blurred. :(

Thanks girls. :)

If you upload from photobucket, you need to use the direct link code and your picture needs to be resized to 150 pixels or less (wich you can do when you click on the picture; it's in edit).

I hope that helps!!!

PS: The smae goes for any profile picture uploaded from photobucket.

If you want a name of some other upload sites, I reccomend these two. You don't need to make an account.

Thank you both. :)

Well, as you can see, I've added one now, but I had to save this on laptop first, resize to 150 x 113 pixels, (25KB), but it is slightly blurred, whereas the original is very clear. I can only resize the pixels, but not the KB's, and can't reduce the kb's any lower.rolleyes

Anyway, never seem to have much time to play about with stuff like this, but I'll see if I can have another go on the w/e, uploading from Photobucket.

Thanks again lovelies.

If you ever have a problem, feel free to ask me.
I've been an icon maker on sites so I'm pretty used to resizing, animating etc =)
