I have this same pic on my website, so I included the full URL in the custom avatar setting in my profile.

Hi Chargeit... your pic didn't work on my machine - but could be my software (although other pics seem to be fine, including Ginger's) I did what Ginger did, copies a url from my picture on my website. If you don't have a website (where the picture can be found all the time) then I'm not sure what to tell you - there'll be other good techie persons here who can help.

Ah, this reminds me, someone's son about 5-6 months ago offered to 'host' pictures on his site so people could have them from things like this... I'll try to remember and get back to you.

Hugs,
Rachel

Can you still see your avatar pic in your profile? If not, then you need to reset your link, if so...HMMM? Not sure what the problem is.

I did a little snooping around on the URL you have to your avatar. Go back to Yahoo and re-copy your link to your profile picture there and paste it in your profile here again. I "THINK" something got lost. I just did that and added my avatar and it worked fine. It is possible that Yahoo might only have these set up as some sort of temporary link that might "move around" a bit if they move data around on servers but that is a PURE guess of possible problems that might creep back.

BTW, I started a new topic. I'm curious to see if the link holds after the topic gets modified. If the link is bad it is in the "Everything Else" forum, topic is AVATAR TESTING. Try this: http://lowcarbeating.infopop.cc/6/ub...4&m=6376094314

HANG IN THERE!!!

Just a follow up...

Yahoo does change the URL to your Yahoo profile pick. Don't know why, just does it.

You will need to find a "stable" url source to hold your avatar if you want a custom one.

HANG IN THERE!!!
