If you have it in photobucket you need to copy and past the URL into the avatar image in your profile. (you will have to select another image) Be patient but it does work.<br /><br />Merry Christmas

Photobucket allows you to change the size of picture to make it fit better. <br />I think your is a Tad to big still.<br /><br />Good Luck!
