select "personal" and put in the URL of your pic below it.

i did that DSC and as you can see it doesn't work

[transient]

well tnord, your problem is that you're using webshots. i don't think they allow remote linking.

[tnord]

thanks transient, i was unaware of that, any suggestions on who else to use?

ok hopefully this works..

Ok I wrote this awhile ago but i'll copy it here for you. I even have pics so you know what to do! The name of the photo your trying to use is
<a href="http://members.hometown.aol.com/coastek240/myhomepage/zilviapic.jpg?mtbrand=AOL_US

you" target="_blank">http://members.hometown.aol.com/coastek....S

you</a> linked to the page not the pic, that above address is what you want to put in.

-------------------------------
First find a photo of the correct size on the INTERNET, it cannot be on your home computer.
Right click on the photo and goto the propertie's like in the pic.
<a href="http://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v0/6/9/62/28160962TSMPCoKHQf_ph.jpg" target='_blank'>http://community.webshots.com/storage...._ph.jpg</a>
Now copy the URL like i have highlighted in this pic.
<a href="http://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4/6/13/31/28161331oWsDjsMcjQ_ph.jpg" target='_blank'>http://community.webshots.com/storage...._ph.jpg</a>
Now you have the pic name, go into your profile and type it into the box that is highlighted oin the bottom, and change the avatar selection to &quot;personal&quot; like i have highlighted on the top.
<a href="http://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v3/6/11/46/28161146wGpfENBrBv_ph.jpg" target='_blank'>http://community.webshots.com/storage...._ph.jpg</a>
Now click sumbit. Once done with that, go back into your profile and select &quot;personal&quot; in the avatar box one more time and click submit. Viola, your done and have a nice pretty pic <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

You can also map the pic on your hard drive.

ie.
Personal Avatar: If you have your own avatar, please enter the URL. This is optional.

(instead of URL) &nbsp;C:\Pics\hockeyplayer.gif

The downside is, that if you get on a different computer the pic wont be there. Just a suggestion.

That might be fine for you, but no one else can see it. All we see is an annoying red X.
