I need some help adding an avatar to my profile.
I've got a piccy I want to use but it's much bigger than 100x100, so I've opened it up in Paint (basic I know) and have resized it to be 75x100 (it's a portrait picture) so that it will fit.
So I've then uploaded it to my hotmail photo album and have acertained the url for it, amended my profile, put that url in, saved and....nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi Simon, The best thing to do is ..... 1. go to www.tinypic.com2. upload a picture from your computer. It doesn't matter if it is bigger than 100 x 100, at this stage. 3. Then once it is uploaded, copy the 4th address it gives you. The one for Direct Layouts. 4. go to your profile and then the modify profile tab. 5. paste in the addres from tinypic to where it says avatar url. 6. in height put 100 (or whatever you want) 7. in width put 100 (or whatever you want) 8. then at the bottom click on modify profile. and thats it!! Hope it works for you. P.S PLEASE KEEP THEM CLEAN!! It doesn't offend me, but it may offend other people. Thanks

Sorted...although the picture quality seems to have suffered. I'll work on it! ;D
Thanks for the advice, that tinypc site is smart. Cheers
