It's the space in the "Oots art" part, I think.

Well, shoot! That is bizarre... Do the other avatars in the same folder fail to work as well?
Maybe try re-uploading it?
Remove the space from the folder name. By that, I mean, actually rename it on your Photobucket account.
The message didn't come up.
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...
EDIT: :smallbiggrin: Thanks for the help!
Could somebody either 'Lower Planarize' or 'Eldrich Horrorize' my avatar for Halloween? You know, either sea-of-lava, fiendish-dire-whale, horned-Ahab, or endless-void, cthulhu-Ahab kinda thing. Thanks!
Edit: I thought that was only for SHOWING OFF your halloween avatars. My bad, I guess, but that doesn't mean someone can't help me out here.
You want this thread.
I don't know if this will work or not, but I can not get this URL to work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canis_lupus_265b.jpg I tried removing the underscores, and that did not work. I so wish that the custom avatar were not so sensitive, or would at least permit you to upload it from your computer!
First: that image is huge. As such, you need to make it smaller if possible to make it fit.
Second: you really should not use avatars on sites you do not own, or that are not on an account of yours on a picture sharing site.
Third: you're linking to a website, not an image. This is the link to the image.
What you need is a Photobucket or Imageshack account. Whenever you want to upload avatars or pics into this forum, save them to your hard drive, put them in the Photobucket account, and use that link. That way you won't have to worry about the image disappearing or anything like that.
EDIT: Also, as Rose Dragon said, that image is huge. The forum doesn't resize them for you. =/ You'll have to do that yourself.
It would also be easier if you could just upload it from your computer. Oh well, I will set up a photobucket account and try again, THX. :smallsmile: OK, I got a photobucket account and I want to use this pic http://s1087.photobucket.com/albums/...t=MyAvatar.jpg Problem is, I can not figure out how to get to just the file. Maybe if someone could either describe the steps or if someone could just give me the URL I would be very appreciative. YES! I GOT IT! Note for any one else with this problem about finding the image on photobucket, just right click, go to properties, and then copy and paste. THX for the help everyone!:smallsmile:
If someone would please help me with my avatar, I would be very grateful
This is the picture I want to use, but when I try to post it, it only shows the top left corner.
Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is it that you want it to be larger? If so, you'll just need to resize it. Using photobucket you can do it easily enough. Just click on it, click resize, and then make it 34 x 120 and click apply. That probably won't center it in the avatar box for you, but at least it'll fill from top to bottom.
Another option would be to open a 120x120 canvas on MS Paint/Photoshop/Inkscape/your program of choice, resize it, and put it in the center of the picture. Then save it and use the new picture, instead.
I had a problem editing the white background out of my avatar, in PNG format. It kept getting the white background whenever I uploaded it on flickr, though it does not get the white background when I upload it at ImageShack.
@^: Wild guess but I'd say that's flickr's problem. If you want a fail-safe solution, you can always copy the forum's background color and set it as the avatar's.
I've been trying to create an avatar in inkscape, but even with the dimensions at the max, the image still comes out much too small and distorted. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Okay, never mind that. But as you can see, it's still very pixellated. Help would be nice.
OK General question, how do you edit URLs on Photobucket? I have been trying for a while, and I can't figure it out. So that there is nothing after the .jpg, .gif, etc?
For all the people who are looking for image hosting sights Imgur was helpful for me. It's pretty straightforward. I got confused by Photobucket, so I just thought I'd give another option. (not spam :smallwink:)
Not working. I can't edit the URL. Is there any site where I can change the URL to a format that will be accepted? I Think I got it from here (it helps if you set it to custom LOL:smallbiggrin:)
Why are you trying to edit the url? What's appearing after the file extension that needs to be edited out?
Nevermind. That is not an issue anymore. I have a new issue though. It is perfectly within the size restrictions (59X99) but it is not showing up entirely.
Never mind. For some reason (I had to reupload it), it used the old, deleted file instead of the new one.
Well, I got it to work, but after seeing how small it appears at max pixels, I think I will just forget about it.
This really helped! good job
Hello. I was trying my new avatar from the pony thread and learned that, dispite me following the guidlines ,the avatar will not show up for me.

Help!
I don't see any reason why putting that url into the box shouldn't work. What exactly happens when you do so? An error message? A red x in your avatar location?
The above messege is what I got when i entered it into the Custom Avatar URL area.Quote:
You did not enter the correct format for the Custom Avatar URL field. Please read the field description for the expected format.
Edit Just got a red x in my avatar space.
Hmm...I just tried it with the link you gave and it worked for me. Make sure you're using just the url starting with "http://" and ending with ".png"; no [url] or [img] tags are needed.
Okay, I am going to test again.
Edit: Nevermine, got it working. Thanks for the help,savanna.
