Okay I feel a bit stupid but I'm having trouble uploading my avatar pic! lol
Does it normally show up straight away or does it take some time to appear?
I'm only uploading a 100 x 100 px from picasa. I have tried adjusting the pixels to make the pic smaller but still nothing shows.

Can you upload? I've never noticed that feature. I just link to it from another hosting site (in my case I'm using photobucket) and the icon will be re-sized automatically.

It's not actually uploadable. You can either use a pre-existing one, or use your own picture that you've got on some other site (you put in the url of the picture). That would be why it isn't working.
Is picasa a website? If so - you can just stick in the url there, assuming that it has public viewing rights.

Sorry Luna think I'm having a blonde moment, but I don't really understand your question.
This is what it says when I go to the modify profile page, 'If you would like to use your own custom avatar, enter the full http:// URL to it in this box.' So I did and nothing happens.
How do you link from another hosting site?

Okay so I might have to change the public viewing rights then. I will try that! Thanks!

Jen, all I did was pick a picture of Lorcan off my blog. Click on the picture, up in the address line is the URL for that certain shot. Cut and paste the address in the avatar URL space. Change avatar width and height to 100, click modify profile, that's all I did. Hope this helps~

What drew said. "If you would like to use your own custom avatar, enter the full http:// URL to it in this box" That is about using a picture hosted elsewhere rather than uploading it. If you are still having trouble - post your link here, and I'll have a look and let you know exactly what to do.

Drew - yeah that's bascially what I did but the pic was in picasa web albums. I changed the privacy setting to but still not showing up. I haven't got time at the moment, gotta run to my hair appt! LOL Kiri - I will have another look later tonight when I have time, thanks though!
