I know I sound dumb but I click the upload avatar tab and from there I can;t put a pic from my files. Copy and paste or what? Does it have to come from a url? I'm easily confused. Thx

Are you getting any message? If the pic is too big it won't let you paste it. Decrease the size of the file and try it again. You can also use a pic hosting site and then supply the URL.h

There is not a post count limit on that is there?

I guess I'm a dummy. Nice pic of your "CLOWN" fish. Real original. I am new at this. Have a heart.

I don't think anyone is taking shots at you, I believe they are just trying to help...unless I'm severely mistaken!

Have you tried uploading the picture to a photo site as suggested in a previous post? I would re-size the picture you would like to use, 150 x 150 is usually a good starting point. Then upload it to photobucket or a similar site. (You can even create a gallery here to store your picture) Then all you have to do is right click on the photo you would like to use and paste the URL it displays in the area that it asks you to (in profile settings). That should be it.

Let us know if you need more help.

ummm...alrighty. It was not a shot to you. I just could not remember if there was a post count restriction with avatars like there are on PM's.

Thanks for the complement on my clown pic.....I think. But yes....it is original. ;)

lol - a rush fan eh? my roomie in college was a die-hard fan. Neal peart etc etc. Oh wait - you're talking the rock band rush right? not something else?

Ah anyways - the avatar might be the settings on the picture. Try double-clicking the picture you want, and editing the attributes/properties so that they are less than 150 dots per inch. Or just post the pic here and I'll re-size it for you. Or shoot an email to me with the pic.
