Just a simple question:

I have a picture I'd like to use as my avatar on my computer. Given that I can crop it to the right size, what format should it be in? The avatar selection process has the following message:
Link to off-site Avatar:
Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to.
Does this mean it has to be on the internet, or can I somehow spirit it on to your site from my computer.

What's the best way of going about it?

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave

It does need to be on the internet somewhere so you can link the URL. You can easily set up a photobucket account or similar. See pseud's post http://poetsgraves.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2527

Any problems let me or pseud know.

Thanks
