Ruth - which hosting site do you use?   I have mine in Flickr and it wouldn't take a full size picture - I had to use the thumbnail.  Try that and let me know if it works.....we gotta see Ellie !!!

the link looks right - but do you have a choice between a thumbnail version (smaller) than the full size?  The thumbnail may have a different address.

Ruth - I have a message out to Drew to see if you can upload your picture to your own photo gallery here and then use it in your profile - I will let you know.....

Hang in there !  :headbang:

The key is to stay within the avatar restrictions 100x100 pixels. You can upload the images to your gallery here and use the thumbnail it generates as your avatar.  :thumb:

I will be posting several "How To" threads when I get home tonight so people don't have to keep strugling with the same issues. :doah:
