Ok, so I tried to put a picture in for my avatar. I was going to use a picture from my flickr page, so I resized it to be small enough and then copied the URL into the avatar address box. Then I clicked the modify profile button to update the profile. It didn't work. Can somebody help me here? What am I doing wrong...lol.

Once we know our way around this particular board, I'll end up doing a tips, tricks and pointers type of thing for everyone... As for your question, I don't see where you have entered a URL in your profile for an Avatar. Did you clear it out? If so, toss it back in there and I will see what it's doing  EDIT: If it's clearing the link when you hit modify... post it here so I can see |

Yea, it seems that it is clearing the URL when I hit modify. Here's the link from my flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/11225704@N08/2178655240/I'm usually not this computer illiterate, I swear...lol. Anyone else used flickr to add a pic? Maybe it doesn't like flickr? |

Well, judging from the way it is showing the link in your post, it stops the link at the "@" sign. That's probably what's causing it to kick it out. Give me a minute, let me see what I can do |

Well, I was going to grab the pic and host it for you on The Chamber's site, but Flickr is evil. LOL
Can you send it to me?

Wow, flickr is that evil? That sucks.
Thanks for the help, I'll send it to you so I can get a photo up.
To prevent you guys from having to do that frequently as more people sign up (or in the case of me wanting to change to a different photo at some point or another), if anyone knows of a photo hosting site to recommend that DOES work with these boards, kindly share with us, please. LOL.
Did I totally miss the help forum or was that added after the fact? Oops. Sorry about that...lol.

I have a Flickr account (that I never use), but I just uploaded a photo and when I view the photo page there is an option that says "See different sizes" in the right column. I didn't notice that on the page you linked to in your post. Anyway, once I go there, I get a direct image link that looks like this: farm3.static.flickr.com/2018/2178773674_614ee067a7_t.jpgNo "@" sign... So, flickr may actually work after all. The link you posted seems to be pointing to a Page on Flickr, not the actual photo. Maybe this helps? |

YAY! You have solved the mystery of the Evil Flickr. Such a good Administrator putting up with crazy random questions from your users. Just think of all the fun problems people will come up with for you to figure out now.
