ok.

First, find the picture you want. Hopefully it's avatar sized. (no bigger than 100x100 on this forum) If not, we have to go another way. But this is simpler so we'll try it first.

Right click on the photo, select properties. A separate box will open. IN that box, look for a line that says Address URL. The line following it should start with "http://... blah blah blah"

Highlight the entire address, including the http part. Copy it.

Now come to your forum page. At the top, choose Profile. Once the view changes, on the left there will be a menu of options. Choose Forum Profile Information. Select the radio button for "I have my own pic" and then paste the address over where the http is in the box. (You don't want two http's).

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and choose Change Profile.

Done.
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

If it is bigger than 100x100, then post it here, I am sure one of us can resize it for you and then post the spiffy lil' version.
Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

You've seen it!  You can't unsee it!

My av disappeared for some reason. Every time I upload a new one, it resets itself to the default of no pic selected.

Any suggestions?

I went through that for a while and then it just worked again.

Could it be the site you are using to host it?  IDK, I have never had any problems with mine through photobucket.

I've heard of problems copying and pasting images that are hosted on some blogs. Perhaps Aine is on to something. Where is the graphic you want hosted? Do you have a photobucket account?

I think it was originally from LJ. When I discovered it missing, I wondered if that might be it and uploaded something else to my ISP website server. I even tried Shutterfly, and nothing has worked yet.

I do appreciate the suggestions, though. I feel naked without an av.
