Can't get mine to upload.


Fistful needs to bring back Clint, there was certain je-ne-sais-quoi about it.  The monkey just doesn't cut it.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

My Honor and Defend Liberty patch seems to have made the transfer... might be time to update it though.

Click on Profile, then under the header "Modify profile" you will find "Forum Profile Information". Click on this as well. Now you'll see the option of "Personalized picture". Either link to a picture (click on the proper circle to choose this option) or upload a picture from your own computer (though it seems like I can't upload anything at the moment)

Use one from the internet then - either steal one, or upload one of your own. I did the later.

If you have a photobucket or flickr account, you can link to a photo in that account as an avatar.  It's free and it saves space (and maybe money, since it's not taking up precious room on the APS's host server).

When you go to photobucket, you have to make your album public to be able to link it into the avatar.
top right corner, click on Account Options
Where it says album settings, click on edit album settings.

You have the wrong URL. You used the email & IM link. The 'Direct Link' below that should work.
Try this as your URL:
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg62/cassandrasdaddy/Picturekidandme030.jpg
You used:
http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg62/cassandrasdaddy/?action=view&current=Picturekidandme030.jpg
Which opens up a photobucket page, not the JPG alone.

^^ What G45 said.

Plus, the pic you linked to is freakin HUGE and the aspect ratio is all wrong for a square avatar image.

I cropped it to a 72x72 @300dpi for you.  I tried to attach it but the attachments aren't working at the moment.  PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it.

Yeah, ...daddy. When I look at this page, everyone else's avatar pops up more or less instantly, even with my antiquated dial-up connection. Yours takes ... well, it makes forever sound like not such a very long time.

Doesn't Photobucket offer a utility or an option to save images as avatars? That's what you're looking for,

I took a look at it and uploads should be working correctly.  Haven't tested it myself though...

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

OK, it really was broken.  Should be fixed now (and I'll go ahead and check other paths out as well.)
