I've tried both linking one and uploading one from my comp, but no luck. Am I doing something wrong?

I had problems uploading my avatar, which I have been using on a number of differant forums already, on the CBGxtra forum, and found out that there was a problem with the color format of my avatar which interfered with using my avatar on their forum. (It is the only forum where I have a differant avatar)

I noticed the "link Avatar" feature was disabled so I enabled it. I also increased the size limit to 100x100 and memory usage to 100K. That should accomodate most Avatars out there. Try again and let me know what happens.

There's plenty of material here on the UYD to create Usagi-related avatars...just look around. All you need to do it download the image, shrink it to fit under 100x100 and you're set!

Just checking to make sure my new avatar worked. Thanks for the advice on how to do this. Great info and clear because I am a bit of a computer idiot. Thanks again.

Good call on the avatar, Trevis.

That was the issue of the year, as far as I'm concerned.
