How to set your avatar

[CPO GreaseMonkey]

Some of you will be finding it hard to set your avatar (profile picture)

These are the steps you need to take to get it to appear on your profile.

1, Upload your picture/photo (in any format e.g. .jpg, .tif etc) to Photobucket (create an account if you don't have one, its free)
2, Use their picture editor to adjust it to your liking (i.e. crop, change to black and white or sepia, add boarders etc)
3, Once saved copy the DIRECT link url and "not" the picture url.
4, Go to your forum profile and click on modify profile.
5, paste the link into the box named Avatar url.
6, Enter the size of your avatar in the two boxes below (maximum 100 high x 100 wide)
7, press the modify profile button at the bottom of that page.
8, Any problems please PM me (greasemonkey) and I will help you through it.

Hey,

Sent a message but still no response, this method isn't working for me, the fields just come up blank again after I press modify profile.

Photobucket has gone cr@p lately, so a suitable free alternative is www.postimages.org

It works in a similar way to how Photobucket used to work, but without the need to pay!
