I'm having the same problem. Glad to know its not just me.

Hey guys which code did you copy? That would make a big difference in things. I use the direct link code.

[DMW]

Thanks Christine, but what is a "direct link code". Is that the same thing as a url?

I've tried downloading them into Photobucket and then transfering to FW, but did not work. Tried transfering pics from Facebook albums...did not work.

I'm doing something wrong, but just can't figure out what it is...

When you are in photobucket and after you have resized your photo making sure that it 80 X 80 pixels exactly you will see several different codes at the bottom of your picture. You will see something like Email & IM, Direct Link, HTML Code, and finally IMG Code. You will want to put your cursor on top of that code and hit copy. It will come and say copied. That means you need to do nothing else with it. Just come back over to FAITHWRITERS in your control panel at the top into the profile section and avatar.

Anyways put in that link and hit the submit button. If you have any further problems let me know and I'll be happy to do it for you but I'd have to have password information to help you. Hope this helps. The code information is underneath your photo in photobucket.

I forgot to tell you that you are hitting the direct link code when you are copying and pasting it.

This is a test. It is only a test.

Like it, Smittyfan, but, if you're still around, is your name Smitty and you're a fan, or are you a fan of Smitty?
(Saw you on here just after I watched Roman Holiday.)
