That should do it but I didn't see the new avatar that I saved on here so it might take a few attempts - I can't remember how I did it for my original pic.
There might be something I'm missing at the very end, maybe someone else can clarify that for us.
EDIT - Correction.
When you paste the link into the box on here, take the [ I M G ] bit off the beginning & end of it and then hit the Change Profile button
-
Well hell, who knew it was THAT difficult? Even I managed it......... ;D
-
I managed to do it as well but couldn't get it to show the new one that I used to do this guide :-[
As I said in the original post - I must be missing something at the very end.............Anyone care to help with that last bit?
-
I think I clicked to change profile at the start and for luck at the end too !
:D
-
I got it.........
What I did was take the [ I M G ] off the beginning & end and it worked
So when you've pasted the link into the box, delete the [ I M G ] bits & click the Change Profile button.
This is what I changed my avatar to

this also looks like pippin (one of my sisters cats) shes 16 and still goes for a night out!
-
Whoop whoop finally managed to put photo of me on here so you know who I am now well what I look like ;D
-
Wow I never knew you could be so trick!he!;p I'll give it a whirl then!
-
Eeeeeek!! Think I'm going mad!!totally!just been trying to upload my avator from imageshack using the forum link it generates and >ke-plonk!<Sweet nothing just an empty square box after clicking away trigger happy! >Help!<I shriek! D:
-
It could be that your pic is too big, has to be 100 x 100 on here, maybe that's what's stopping it from getting through here.
Try using the first link I gave (Shrinkpictures) and see if it works for you after that.
:)
EDIT - If that's not the problem then maybe you can try copying the link to your pic rather that using their Forum Link and paste it into your avatar section on here as I outlined in my original post. that might do it.
-
Hey cheers mate! Ill give it another go then when it takes me :D Take care
-
You're Welcome
:)
-
I seiously cannot upload my pic :(
-
Maybe for your avatar pic alone (even if you never use the site for any other pics), you could upload your pic to Photobucket, that's the site I used for this thread amd now I use it all the time.
It might be easier for you to follow my instructions as well if you use the same links as I'v posted in it.

Or just stick with the red cross in a box if you're a bit of a munter.
;)
:D
-
Can I askk someone to put me pic up cos I'm failing miserably :(
-
firstly, upload the image you want to photobucket (this may take a few moments) so it has a web address. then hover over the pic that you have chosen....choose the direct link option and copy.
return to here and paste the link that you have copied into the avatar option, being careful that your link is between the two brackets in the img][img part.
...it does work...honestly...;)
-
I'm sure it does just not for me anyways I have someone on the case ;)
-
I've resized your pic & have emailed the link to it back to you.
Copy & paste that link into your profile bit where it says I have my own image after you've deleted the existing [I M G bits.
That should do it for you
:)
-
We can see your avatar now even before you've posted on here again :)
RESULT
-
Oh my!! Not sure I want me closeup pic on there afterall :0
-
At least you know how to do it now so you can change it anytime you want
:)
EDIT
You just have to remember that your pic can only be 100px to be accepted on here.
-
True! Thanks for this! But it may have to go think I'll get an NMA logo up there instead!hehe!
