Basically you have to have a 90 x 90 pixel image uploaded to a website, and then link to it.

Found this helpful link from 6bq9 in another thread.

I can't make the avatar visible... it seems I did everything right, except I cannot see the picture. :)
I uploaded a 5.6 kb pic on dropbox public folder (80x78 px) and linked to it. I clicked "submit" and all seemed ok.
But the avatar is not visible... when I go to "edit avatar", it says "user avatar" there, I can even check that box for deleting the avatar. But I can't see the picture, there's no picture showing there. Where did I go wrong?

The picture I'm trying to link to is this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f4w5kuci38f9z ... %20pic.jpg

Please help... thanks!

It could be that a Dropbox link doesn't work for this. You need to host the pic on some public site and link to that. If you need more help, drop me a PM.

Thanks guys, I'll try to host the picture somewhere else... even though I read that some people host it in the Dropbox public folder and it works fine. :?
