I am totally thick

[prepareathome]

I have tried and tried to upload an avatar - have photo on photobucket, copied the codes - tried every blasted one of them not just ones for forums and zilch nada nothing shows up on the forum here so I am obviously being totally thick over this



This is the photo I want an an avatar - as you can see can insert it here no problemo - what oh what am I doing wrong........... almost wanting to grab a nastie ( just as well none in) as its driving me nuts

Hi Prepare

I think i used image venue for mine and it was quite straight forward.

Just an alternative option


imagevenue.com/

Put this in your avatar URL..It should work:

Yeh i tried to do a similar thing using image venue

But due to our archaic computer system at work it crashed and burned >

[maccafan]

Eh??

The code that Macca gave you, should work. Make sure that it's no larger than 100 x 100 pixels.

Tried to upload the image

So i could paste a code that Prepareathome could use

My attempt failed miserably though :-[

Its great am very happy Got to have my boss as my avatar she would go ape if I didn't. Its funny uploaded avatars elsewhere no problem, but at last thankfully I have one

[Anne (fuzzy)]

You need to use the direct link from Photobucket for your avatar, strange it didn't work, unless the photo was massive?
