Tech/Profile help

[♫ Firelady Nemo♫]

If anyone has any issues with their profile/account or their computer in general, this is the place to post. Just write up a description of your problem and post. All members are free to help out if they know how. Hopefully all of your issues will be solved by our combined knowledge.

P.S. This type of thread has been proven to work. I have firsthand experience with it. A while back, I couldn't get my welcome screen back up on my computer. I posted about my problem in a thread on another forum. A tech person posted steps on how to solve my problem and it worked. So, don't be afraid to post .

I can't upload an avatar from photobucket to my profile. I've uploaded images to this site before so I don't understand why it won't work. The dimensions are within the 100x100 requirements.

When you post pictures on a normal page of a thread, the code used is the img code. That is also the code you use for your signature.

To get your avatar to show up, you use the direct link.

Photobucket lists several types of links, the one you want to copy and paste for your avatar(when you modify profile) is the one listed beside "direct link," rather than copying the img code. I'm not sure why you have to use a different link, but that is just the way proboards is set up.

Did this help? If not, I can try additional solutions.

**EDIT**

I actually checked your profile and went to the link you used for your avatar. It looks as if the link has expired for some reason. It does look like you have the correct form of code though.
