you get rid of the "photobucket.com" stuff at the beginning, leaving only the image address and the .

< a > < img src="http:// ..... ..... .jpg" > < / a >

like above, and without the spaces.

I learned that yesterday. Hope that helps

You're welcome marina!

And look, I changed mine. Figured I'd been Zoe for awhile now, and change is good.

Bump...

I might be going a bit overboard. I like it though!

Your one is breaking every thread you're posting in Phoenix, it's just too long.

And I'm just glad I've managed to change my avatar from Simon looking sadly to his right.

I like yours PR...kinda like a banner, only on the top of your post! It's very pretty.

Thanks! I thought "Well, why not have a stip of avatars instead of just one?" I think it looks better this way, too

If that's the case, you really need to turn up the res on your monitor. Even my crappy work monitors don't quite break at 550 pixels, and I thought they were turned down as low as you could go at 800x600
Not changing it. Sorry.

Huh. Doesn't break my monitor, though I tend to have it set at maximum resolution. Which has it's drawbacks... {/digression}

I said I wouldn't bother you again, PRose, but I'd be remiss in not thanking you and Mavoureen for the tutorials about custom avatars. Those involved have been credited in my FFFn profile.

So: thanks!

Also, to clarify my earlier post on this thread, I was kinda attempting to "bump" the idea of contributing some cashy money to Haken for this site. Back in the day, emailing and asking him to put up a custom avatar was the accepted way. However, this do-it-yourself style certainly saves Haken having to deal with any number of requests in his inbox, so I figure it's shiny.

Still, a Paypalled fiver, every now and again, from them as can afford it, wouldn't be amiss, eh?

Peace.
