Nor sure where to put this. I want to upload my own Avatar but it does not seem you can actually upload it to the Board only hotlink to the image and this is not allowed by my ISP as it would mean hotlinking to an image on my computer. Any ideas please?

The way I always get round these sort of things are to upload the image to a host site. Go to: imageshack.us/Use the browse button to add the avatar that you have saved and click on upload. Then once it is uploaded it will give you a selection of different links that you can use. I think the one that is called "direct link to image" is the one that you need to copy and paste. Use that in your profile where you add the avatar. Save the image on your computer because occasionally after a while it can drop the image and you will have to upload again. However I have the same link from when I first set up the board and it still works. Hope this helps, 33's

other image saving websites are : www.photobucket.comwww.snapfish.comwww.mypicgallery.comwww.bebo.comthese are all free website where you can upload your own photos, and then copy and paste the photo url into the avatar slot. those sites you set up for your personal use and dont ahev to worry about the photo as you control what photos you want to keep uploaded.

I uploaded an Avatar to Imageshack and did what they said and edited my Profile but it still shows the morsekey. Help!

Edit: I did not choose that cute kitty and whatever I do it will not display my photo which I have uploaded to the link Jackie gave me and the size falls within the parameters allowed. I keep setting it to non to delete the kitty but it won't. Also despite having set my login to forever I found I had to log in again so is there a problem with the Proboards? I am getting a bit stressed over it now and give up until someone can help me sort it out.

Hi Angie,
I think as admin I am authorised to change peoples avatars. If you like you can email me the image through and I will see what I can do.
Can you send it to:
m3jto@tiscali.co.uk
I'll try my best for you.
33's

Thanks Jackie. I think I will leave it for now and either keep that cute kitty or go back to the morsekey.

Hello Kitty is cute The morse key is in there as a choice, you can always go back to it if you chose to do so.

This is all too complicated for me! I haven't even looked to see how to insert a picture into my Posts!

I'm not sure how to deal with images and avatars through forums so don't think that I can really help here either. It's quite frustrating when something doesn't go as it should
