I have a cool avatar that I was finally able tyo save to my harddrive. How do I submit it and also how do I post pics?

You need to put it on a server somewhere, and then put the URL in your profile. If you don't have a web server to put it on, e-mail it to me and I'll put it on this server. It must be under 8k and properly sized.

I put this photo on yahoo and I want to make it my avatar, but still can't get it to work. What up?

Last I checked (and it's been awhile), Yahoo doesn't allow off-site linking.


Host it here and try it again, should work fine.

I tried that first, but to no avail.

I cut and pasted the URL into my profile but it won't work.

Somethings wrong - Operator error most likely.

If you're talking about the URL from Yahoo, that's not hosting here, that's linking.

You need a new URL, one not from Yahoo. That means uploading the pic to your album here, obtaining a URL from your album here, then pasting that into your profile.

Copy that.

This is the URL from here that I want to make my avatar

What's wrong with it? What am I doing wrong?

Like my new avatar?


Put this URL in your profile for your avatar-

http://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/photos/albu...0C2%20Coupe.jpg

All that is is the URL from the thumbnail from the pic you want. If you used the URL from the full size pic, it will show up as the full size pic for your avatar. If you want it a bit larger, which you could get away with, you'll need to resize it. This is a simple solution.

Thanks Redbird. Now all I have to do is change my log on name. Long story. I'll work on it.
