It depends what avatar you want, and where it is hosted in the first place. If you can view it on the web, download it to your PC, then go to http://www.imageshack.us and upload it to there. It will give you a link, which you then copy and paste into the offsite avatar box within your profile.

PM me if you have any problems, and I'll talk you through it step by step

Try copying that, and post it into the space provided at the bottom of your profile (you can't have that, by the way - this is just for the test)

Right.

Go into your profile and tick the box marked delete image, and click on submit. Then highlight the text that starts http:// above and right click on it and choose copy.

Go back into your profile and highlight the box next to off site URL and paste in the text and click on submit. Hopefully it should work.

For your avatar, you need the URL (if you right click on the picture and select Properties, it's the text at the top).

For a sig (that's the one below your text - you haven't got one yet. Mine are the crest with ERIMUS on and the moving userbar) you need the text with the [img] and [/img] text on the end - these are important.

You don't need to host a pic for an Avatar. You can find one on a website - just right click on it and select Properties, make sure the dimensions are no greater than 160 x 160 pixels, and remember to get a pic that ends with .jpg rather than .bmp or .png - a jpeg will be a smaller file size.

If you find one you like, make sure you delete the image you have and press submit and then go back into your profile, right click (as before) and select Properties, the URL will be at the top so highlight ALL the text and right click and copy the text, go back into your profile and paste it into the Avatar Control Panel and click submit. Then you should be done.

Reupload the picture, and don't use the thumbnail link.

Alternatively, PM me the URL from the original picture, and I'll upload it and send you a link back.... Or send it from your computer on e-mail to me at; SE13@socceram.net

That's what you are trying to do.

Don't leave a space between the [img] tags then it will work
