Avatar problems if anyone can help..!

Post by stevereedmusic » Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:15 am

Hi guysTrying to add an avatar to my profile but it's not happening for some reason.The photo I'm trying to use is on myspace so I've ensured it's small enough (100x75 pixels) and entered the URL in the appropriate field, also entering the size, but when I click update it isn't there.When I go back into edit profile to check it, the URL has disappeared from the field.Maybe it's just a glitch and I'll need to email support but if anyone can help I'd appreciate it!Many thanksSteve

(When I go back into edit profile to check it, the URL has disappeared from the field.)Did you save it. At the bottom of your profile page, click modify profile.Billy

For me, only a jpg works when it's hosted on my webpage. I haven't gotten a bmp to work as an avatar. I think it's my hosting site....you can check by typing the exact address into a browser's address bar, and see if you mug shows up.And the case has to be perfect for me... .JPG is different from .jpg(Long shot...HTH?)

Thanks Devin-Have just tried both ways, .jpg and .JPG are equally failing me lol.. the URL does bring up my mug when copied into a browser address bar. Hmm I'm stumped here.Thanks both for the responses, think it's time to email Taxi for some behind the scenes tweaking..CheersSteve

How did you sort it out? I'm trying to do the same thing from my myspace page. There's even a little box that says photo url with a copy button. It's 100x75 just like yours. Not happening yet. Hmmm...
