3. Go to: http://www.imageshack.us

4. Press the 'browse' button

5. A pop-up window will appear. Find your picture and press the 'open' button

6. Press the 'host it!' button

7. After some processing time, you will get to the next page. In the 5th box down marked 'Direct link to picture' you will find a so called URL. Highlight this URL by keeping the left mouse button clicked and scrolling across it until it is fully highlighted. Right-click and select 'copy'. The link is now stored in the computer's memory

8. Go to the Holidaytruths page (make sure you are logged in) and select 'profile' from the top menu;

9. At the bottom of the profile, you find a box labelled 'link to offsite avatar'. Place the cursor in this box and simultaniously press the CTRL and V key.

10. Finally press the 'submit' button and your avatar should appear under your username.

Which of the above mentioned are you having trouble with?

You haven't put the correct URL in your profile, hence the red cross.

What is the URL that you were given by Imageshack?

Hover over the above mentioned link, right click and select "Copy shortcut".

Go into your profile and place the cursor in the white box next to "link to offsite Avatar".

Rightclick and select "paste".

The URL is the website address to your picture. It usually starts with 'www' or 'INVALID URL

Hello Mark, its me again have you given up on me or have you put your head in the oven with dopes like me asking for your valuable help? Ihave just had a look at some of your instructions on the forum for help with avatars and am nearly at the stage of sticking my own head in the oven!!! how ever do people be so clever do do all those things on thier PUTERS? I think i will need a course at college to manage them.

Please dont give up yet Mark Help!!! Ann White
