why is my avatar picture now the sentence "please up account 3rd party"?
as the title says I used to have a custom image as my avatar but now i see a grey background with that sentence in white and a quarter circumference with a blue "ten" in the low right corner. why is that? How do I change it back?

Photobucket now charges for you to embed images. You'll either need to pay them or move the image to a new host. I'll leave this thread open for others to give their suggestions.

Re: why is my avatar picture now the sentence "please up account 3rd party"?
There was a recent thread here in board/site issues.
I'm sure there was one in Friendly Banter when Photobucket decided to change their funding model, but I cannot find it. It might be now beyond the call of all but those sorcerors, working in darkness, we call the mods. Alternatively, some mad, sorcerous working may be keeping it beyond my perception.

Nothing else you can do other than upload your avatar into different site than photobucket.

While not strictly true (you could also pay for the service being provided by photobucket), I believe that Rawhide already mentioned the possibility, and left the thread open for alternative hosting suggestions.
So on that topic, I like tinypic.com, because it resizes the picture for you, which is important for this forum.

I used
imagur.comimgur.com. I think Flickr.com is still usable, too.
I use 32-bit Irfanview for resizing my avatar images. 64-bit Irfanview can handle larger images, but doesn't have all the addons the 32-bit version has, including the one that lets you specify file sizes when resizing your avatar image.Last edited by Lord Torath; 2017-11-20 at 04:36 PM.

Photobucket is also really inconsistent about whether they do anything to your picture - mine's hosted there, I've never paid them a cent, and yet it works just fine. It might have to do with the total amount of embedding happening.
I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

Over on the Jethro Tull forum lots of folks are using village.photos which seems to work just fine.
I'm not sure where I've got my avatar hosted.... but village.photos seems to work fine.
It's pretty easy to use too. :D
Good luck!

You need to change to a new image host. Your problem arises from using photobucket. I recommend switching to http://postimages.org/
