Okay. You are doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what exactly.

7Ayreon, maybe you could explain to evilgenyus a little better than I. Would you care to give it a shot?

I have a feeling that a7ryon.. (or whatever) is long gone. After all.. he's got his avatar already. I'll hope for the best though.

Okay, evilgenyus. exactly where are you getting the url from?

It has page references in it that should not be there.

Oh no I havn't abondoned you! I am researching why an X appears enstead of an image, so far it is an applet that wont load, i dont get it. Unless that is your avatar - rather clever

I uploaded an image that was downloaded from aol, that's saved on my comp. and by the way.. I greatly appreciate your patience and help with all of this.

okay. click on member upload, in memcenter.

What do you see there?

Could it be that the percent symbol in the file name is causing a problem? If its what was saved try renaming the file without any symbols.

i know i will be contradicting myself, but you missed the original opportunity.

right click on "ats31181_you e_the_one.jpg"

go to properties.

copy that url.

should be very similar to my example shown earlier.

follow the next steps in instructions given earlier.

alright. I missed the "properties" earlier, I clicked on that, copied it, and pasted it in the appropriate place. guess we'll see if anything shows up now.... I don't know. it didn't seem too promising.

I think you have same problem as 7Ayreon had earlier.

Do you know how to post a picture here?

I'm wondering if filesize, or pixel dimensions are over maximum

Your profile has updated with new url okay, by the way.

I'm still relatively new to everything here on ATS (as if it's not obvious) so no, I'm not sure how to post a pic. on here, I don't think... I'll try though.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... well, I at least did the right then when I ATTEMPTED to submit a photo.

perhaps I need to find an entirely different image and try it instead.

okay

type the following:



i have a bad internet connection, be back in 5 minutes......

my connection is getting very slow...............

yeah, it was definitely something with the image, this one is working fine. I guess I"ll be content with this one until I find something better. Thanks again for your help both of you! I'll be sure to vote for you two for the great help award thing. ( I forget what it's called right off hand)

Okay. I'm glad to hear you got it sorted out, well sort of.

Mechanic 32.

btw - was your other picture also an animated GIF? Might be that the filesize was too large.

no, the other pic wasn't animated. I assume it was just way too big or something.

What were the pixel dimensions.

It has to be 160 pixels wide, maximum x 320 pixels high, maximum.

And the filesize 75Kb or smaller.

What format was it in?

Jpg, and Gif are ok. BMP is not.
