Hello all, I am having trouble uploading a pic for my avatar. The pic seems to be ok in size but all it does is change to blue rectangles moving across where the pic should be... if that makes sense lol. I'm realtively new to this site and could use any suggestions! Thank you!

Hi I had the same problem when I was a new member too!
  This is what I did:
                1. create a picture album in your profile
                2. Upload the pic/pics to your album
                 3. once you have pics in your album, go to photos and click on the pic of your choice scroll to the bottom of the pic, and you will see copy and paste this code. 
                4.copy the code that says direct url 
                 5. go to my avatar, and paste the code on the link that says upload this photo from another website, and click upload!! BAMMM you should have a new avatar
     P.S. you should refresh your page to see the results good luck!

 i had a heck of a time so i just searched avatar creator and an easy one comes up that you can upload your pic tooo...choose 100 because it can only be 100x100 and save it to your desktop or something..then go to tools..and upload your avatar on the avatar page, and it will upload for you!!

Thank you both so much! I will try as soon as I can!
