    Numptie tries to change avatar

    Right, so, I found where to change my avatar in settings and have uploaded an image into photobucket.... I am a luddite but I've managed it before.

    It asks for the url of the image, which has to be one of the bits of info under the picture in photobucket - but no, it doesn't like anyone of them.

    What am I doing wrong oh wise users of the interweb?

    Could be the image is too big to use as an avatar? This is the max allowed:

    "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 120 by 120 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller)."

      It could be I suppose ... it's only a photo I took with a pretty standard digital camera... which has been trimmed down. Would that be likely with that? Thanks for your response BTW...

        My camera takes 4000x3000 pixel size image - resulting in circa 5mbytes size images - so even a trimmed down image my still be way over the max allowed.

        Try saving your image as a .png or .gif instead as this may reduce the image size.

            Any graphics/image related program should do the trick e.g. paint, do "file save as", select either gif or png formats.
