I want to put this in for my avatar, but it will not let me. What do I need to do to get it to work?

Oh well, I wasn't going to give it to you right away. Thought I'd make you think I "stole" it first. biggrin.gif

The answer was your url was too long for this forum. So you make a tiny url. BUT you only make a tiny url for the first part of your web address pointing to folder location of the file...this part...

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k54/frym...Dancers/images/

So the tiny url became...

http://tinyurl.com/2s8hzo

Then, you added this part to the end, which points to the specific file.

/dancing-image-p.gif

to make http://tinyurl.com/2s8hzo/dancing-image-p.gif

The problem was if you just make a tiny url, the forum doesn't see the link as pointing to an image file, so it won't accept it. You have to make the tiny url just to the proper folder, then append the filename to that..

Anyone follow that technical jargon? Anyway, might be of use to someone in the future.

www.tinyurl.com

Oh, btw, the issues I said earlier were wrong, since you are using an off-site image. The issues I talked about in my first post would have matter if you were uploading the file to this server.

OK, I get new cat avatar!
