Have replied to your pm Joolz but basically the url is the address of the picture you are requesting.

Go to the page with the avator on and copy from the address bar. Paste it into here. Mind you Mark is good and will probably be able to decipher the address from the url I have given further up. :lol:

Whoops!!!! Dont know what happened here, one minute it was an url address, next it was the picture I have spent about 10 hours trying to get as my avator (note that the dreaded "red cross" is still there)

Sorry to "rabbit" on about this avatar but can you tell me why mine doesn't show up unless I am logged on? Thanks

I don't think any avatars are displayed unless the user is logged in...............are they?

Good question!!!!!! But if you look at old postings those with avatars are visible. ??? if they are logged on to same forum at the current time. Can someone please log off and check to see if their avator disappears like mine???! Thanks so much

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?
