Avatar question

Ok.  I'm trying to upload my avatar, using photobucket.  I have a lot of options to choose from.  I've tried using the option IMG for bulletin boards and forums.  This isn't right?  Or, is it html?  I read the tutorial.  I have my pictures stored on 2 different websites, but neither url will work.
Any suggestions?

Try copying and pasting an image from photobucket or something similar that starts with "http:" like this example:

 http://www.mypage.com/mypic.gif)

There was some extra code in your image URL.  I changed it for - hope you don't mind

I finally got it!  Or Lord Goliath helped me, either way, thanks!

What was the extra code?  Am I supposed to copy the whole code box?  Just asking, just in case I ever want to change the picture

Take a look at what's in your profile again to see what is needed.  Basically, you should have just a URL to the image itself.  In that box you don't need to use any of the other tags like [img] or [url].

To get the URL in the future, just find your image and right-click and choose "Properties" the URL to your file will be available in the window that opens.

I got you!  Thanks!
