To post an avatar, firstly you must publish it on photobucket (or others, like imageshack, for example) or have a direct link to it. For example, if you've published it on one of the sites mentioned above, you'll notice that underneath or near the image you have a link that says 'Image', or 'URL'. It means that you can post the image using one of these two tools, for example, [ i.mg ] post the link in the 'Image section' [ /i.mg ] or [ i.mg ] post the direct link [/i.mg] (without the dots, I had to put them 'cause otherwise it wouldn't show off here). Maybe I'll give you an example, to make things a bit easier, 'cause I know how confusing this is for newbies. Trust me, I've been there  . The URL ThingLet's call it this way  . When you go to Google, and find a picture you like, you immediately click in it. When you do so, a little bar appears at the top in which says 'See full-size image'. Click there and the image appears against a white background. On top of the window you're using, there's a little space, where you usually write down the url to the site you want to visit. Once the image appears as stated, that little link you see there is the direct link to the image. To post that same image, write [i.mg] post the link here [/i.mg] (again, no full stops/dots). PhotobucketI like photobucket 'cause it is easy to use. After you've registed yourself, you can post a lot of images there. Once you've uploaded an image, you'll see that there are certain links underneath it. The one you're looking for is 'IMG Code'. You simply copy that and post it where you want the picture to appear. -- I hope this helps, lucyinthesky77. |

If you want it as an avatar, which is the image displayed under your name, then you must go to your profile, click in 'Modify Profile' and then paste the photobucket 'Direct Link' (under the uploaded image) in 'Avatar URL' (which is in the 'Modify Profile' section). Was it clear enough? I know it looks confusing, sorry. If you experience more problems, you can ask me to make it for you, lucyinthesky77. I'm glad to help, luv! |
