to send a PM click this button --><-- under someone's name.Your avatar (photo under your name) is administered in by clicking the "profile" link at the top of the board while you're logged in, then 'modify profile'. Then just follow the instructions.

Hi, I had the same questions, so thank you. But in the Modify Profile page it says this...If you would like a picture displayed in your profile, you can use one of our provided images, or you can enter your own custom avatar URL. Can anyone advise how to provide the image?? Thanks so much, Chris

it needs to already exist online somewhere already. A myspace profile, flickr, photobucket something like that. Find out where its hosted and copy that url into the profile form.

Where it says 'Avatar URL', put the link to the pic, e.g. http://www.awebsite.com/thepic.jpgRight clicking on the pic in it's original location will give you the size to put in, 85x100 or whatever it is.
It's a fine line between a thick soup and stew.

I still haven't figured it out, I just keep using my Broadjam site for that. Although I'd rather not be paying money to a company that charges moeny for a lottery chance, to have a song reviewed. blechh...There's a guy on the forum named Antonio, who just posted a how-to as far as the song links go. I think you might also have to select some kind of option on your taxi site, to make it public. I could be wrong. I usually figure how to do new things by copying other people's posts and reading the code, and then replacing my own info into a line. Then I bookmark it.
