Also, am having extreeeme difficulty putting up avatar under name. Maybe someone could do a complete walk-thru post for the less-informed. I cannot even bring up the generic avatars(if there are any). Not all of us grew up with 'puters

I'm not sure how did I do it, maybe I forgot it... but I'll try. I almost grew up with computers (since I was five, I guess), but not the internet...


You find the image you want to use as your avatar. You make sure you can hotlink it, i.e. that the image doesn't disappear when you do. I think one of the ways how to do it is google the image and go straight to the image itself, not only the site. Sometimes only an image telling you that hotlinking isn't allowed appears, so in that case you're sure you cannot use the image...

If you have an account on a site used for image storage (I use ImageShack, but that was quite a random choice and maybe others would reccommend something else), this is, of course, easier.

Anyway, I think you need the direct URL. Without the <img></img> part. You copy it to the blank space in your profile, hit OK button and it should work, I hope. If not, well, ask someone else...

Thanks Marmota and . That worked. Of course I have 7 or 8 hosting sites now, but I can't complain. I owe you one. Now everyone knows what that burp was all about.

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked. I uploaded my avatar once and don't feel like changing it at all, because I really, really like Large One. Which, of course, means it's looong time since I did it...

I just registered but I have visited this site many times in the past. Best Leone-site on the whole Internet. English isn't my native language since I'm from Finland, but I think I'll manage somehow. I'm member on IMDb also, with the same ID, and looks like there is some same people as there in here. Hello to everyone!

Welcome, moviesceleton. You should fit right in. Seems to be more people from Europe than the States.
