No matter how many times I get the okay by the system that my avatar is small enough, it never shows next to my posts? Any workarounds?
 
Cut off one "http://"


From this:
http://http://r21.imgfast.net/users/2113/18/41/05/avatars/29-0.jpg

To this:
http://r21.imgfast.net/users/2113/18/41/05/avatars/29-0.jpg

See. :)

I was actually going to use that exact avatar, haha.

But the issue with that is, that was the first thing I did. Removed the first HTTP.

Now, when I put the full regular link, I get this:

The following errors occurred when trying to save your profile:
The avatar you have selected is either too large or not an avatar.

When I post the link with the second HTTP, I get an okay from the site, but the image never loads and is replaced with this crossed paper sign.

okay real simple answer  to this one.  When you use two http the forum has no idea where the file is so it doesn't give an error.  With just one http you get the error that the file is too large.  This means it is finding your image and the file size or dimension is too large.  The maximum size is 150 x 150 pixels i believe and there may be a filesize issue but a compressed png or jpg should fit just fine.

I can tell you right now that that photo is too big so open it in an image editor and bring the dimensions down a bit.
 
I resized the image and uploaded it and set it as your avatar for you.

Ahh, 150 x 150 was the dimensions. I could have sworn I tried doing this with a way smaller image but got the same result... guess that wasn't 150 x 150 either.
