Animated ones take up too much bandwidth or something?

Fred...Thanks for turning on our tiny little pix. I felt naked without Reality

Okay, what am I doing wrong. When I try to point to the URL and click OK I get a message that says that uploads have been disabled.

When you look at the screen to edit your Avatar, you have two boxes, one atop the other. The top box is where the picture would be and it has a radio button that is marked.

The lower box has another radio button that says, "Use Custom Avatar" Click that button on the bottom and see if that works.

That is what I was doing, but when I click OK I get: "Remote file uploads have been disabled." I'm not trying to upload it, just post the link to it that is on a public web server.

TCBaker,

I got the same message and all that but just ignore it. The important part is that it is in the current avatar screen. Previously it said no image.

Go back to your User CP and see if something is in the picture field. If it is there, then you are set.

As opposed to putting in the web address of the server that had the image I did an upload from my local drive and it worked. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but it worked.

Thanks

TC, IC U have it working...

Sorry...

TCBaker, I see that you have it working; was it something we missed?

I am getting the same thing - I am just trying to point it at my old avatar on pics.tdiclub.com. It gives me the error message, but nothing shows up. Do I have to wait or something?

Fred, when I tried linking to our picture server for this thumbnail .gif image, it says that remote hosting is not supported:

What's wrong?

I shrunk the gif down also and get the same result from uploading.

I see other members have .gif avatars; how do I get mine to work? Need clearer directions for the non computer guru I am, please.

Thanks.

Nick

How's my avatar? I have it on another website and it bounces around but it wont animate here.

bam_bam_dip · October 11th, 2006, 20:59

I'm sure the ladies on this site just absolutely love it. I bet they're wishing they could see it bounce......
