How do I get an Avatar? I can find it in the "control panel", but enter a url, but it doesn't show up. Is that something you guys put in?

Thanks,
openairboy

At the url you are trying to enter, right click on the picture, then click on "properties". Copy that source and paste it into the url section of your profile. That should accomplish the desired outcome. Make sure the picture is no larger than 150 x 200 pixels. Hope that helps.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

If the url is right, it is most likely a size problem. Edit the size to make sure both measures are under 200.

I cannot get my avatar to show up. I changed the settings on the pic to 100X100 and it still doesn't work. All I get is the word "avatar" with no picture.

Suggestions?

Done. I have hosted it on the PB site. I have found that trying to use avatars from pics hosted at blog sites are very unstable.

Fred,

Thanks for your help. I wondered if blog hosting had something to do with it. Though I can put that link in a browser and it comes up fine......technology! I tell ya!

You would think this would be easy...but it isnt!

Just for the record; Avatars should be no more than 150 x 150 pixels.
