Is anyone else having trouble having trouble changing or adding their avatar pic? I tried changing mine with an updated photo and all I see now is the ugly red "X" in the ugly red box.  :'(

Tom

Hello, the path to you image doesn't include a file name. Your path is "http://www.flickr.com/photos/miz_greeneyed_dragon/8391112574/" that appears to be incomplete, it should end with a filename. The path should be something like "http://www.flickr.com/photos/miz_greeneyed_dragon/8391112574/mypicture.jpg". I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Tom

Thanks for the info, Tom. I'm not sure how to get a filename added to it :( . Suggestions?

Celtic Lady, the image url is: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8494/8391112574_423abbfb6f_z.jpg ... assuming that is the picture you want. Put that entire address into the field, and you should be good to go.

 :) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much, Merlin. You truly are a great wizard.

Yes, Celtic Lady. I am indeed a great wizard.  My second-best thing is humility... ::)

When I use this link, the profile keeps telling me that the image has been deleted or moved and I know it hasn't.

Doña, when you paste the link into the space provided in your profile, be sure there is a space between Scarby and 2010.  Looking at the code that the forum is returning, the space is missing.  The %20 in the link above is an encoded space.  If that is how you are putting it in, you might try replacing the %20 with a plain space and see if that fixes it. The forum software may be trying to re-encode a link that is already properly encoded.

Thanks Merlin - that worked. I'm not sure why the software would try to chamge the link.

Sometimes web-based software will filter out anything it perceives as possibly hazardous code. Code injection is a common attack method of hackers. Sometimes the filters are a little too diligent.

Probably what Merlin said, but my filters are just diligent enough. :)

I looked at your profile and this is what you had for your avatar image:

http://http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w186/rebelliousfrito/Post-July2010/?action-view&current=100_5682.jpg

You'll see that you have "http://" in the address twice.  I'm going to remove the extra, and that should solve the problem.
