Hey, I tried to get an avatar, but the avatar thing in the profile said the URL link wasn't valid. Who knows, maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Can someone give me a step-by-step walkthrough?
Also, does it really have to be 8x8 and only 6 kbytes? It's practically wightless! I got myself a small picture that would make a nice avatar, but even a picture that small weighs more then 11 kbytes in a JPEG format.
You're doing something wrong if it's 11k, I use about twice that for screenshots from normal resolution video. (Especially if you're really trying for 8x8 pixels, not 80x80...)
Well, actually, it's not an 8x8, it's a 120x140. That's why I asked if it really has to be an 8x8. See, this 120x140 is quite small, it's just dense. I suspect that compared to an 120x140 an 8x8 would look really crappy, so that's why I can't quite get that restriction.
Oh! Oops! I misread! I accidentally thought... nevermind.
Anyway, getting back to the main topic, if it says the URL isn't valid, does it mean the picture isn't right or does it mean that I wrote the address wrong?
Just like sjabbie said, you have to upload your avatar something else first.
Hint: Maybe you can upload the avatar on an other forum...than you can take the url to your picture from that forum and copy it to this forum.
To get the Url just rightclick on your uploaded avatar and go to properties.
