I need help with my avatar

I am trying to put up an avatar.
When I post a link to it, which is imagehosting.us or something, it comes up as an X. Any ideas. How does everyone else go about it?

lardo5150,
Welcome aboard
Copy the following url show.imagehosting.us...
entirely into the Avatar URL: box.
That should resolve it. Kind of like your avatar by the way

I believe you're missing part of the address. I went there and this is the full address:

show.imagehosting.us...

Your 'x' is missing some of it, including the .gif Try that.

Edit: D'oh! Darn you, kenshiro, and your fast fingers!

The maximum size you can use is 160x320 pixels, your is over 430 pixels tall. Also I don't think you can use a bmp file, reduce the size and save as a gif or jpg.

Thanks everyone, I REALLY appreciate the help. i wil fix the size and get it on.

Looks like you were successful...good deal.

Just testing if my avatar and signature are functionable.

Errr it doesn't look quite so successful to me....

I see no avatar.

Always remember, the refresh button is your best friend here.... For a low band hug.
