We have disabled signature pics permanently. We are sorry for doing this but it needed to be done for many reasons. Those of you that have the code for a signature image, please go into your profile and remove it. Thanks!!!<br /><br />The good news is that we have turned on the Avatar feature for these boards. You will notice the 60x60 pixel picture under my name on my posts now. All of you can upload you own images as well. Please note that the image is limited to 60x60 in size and requires that you have the picture stored on another hosting service/server. Please, please, please keep the file size of the image small (less than 4k please) so this site will still load quickly. You all have the option to turn off the viewing of Avatars in your "my profile" area if you are on a slow internet connection or just don't want to see them for any reason. This is a family-friendly site, please keep your images tasteful. Nuff said. I have included some avatar info found in the faq area. Enjoy!<br /><br />What are Avatar Images? <br />Avatar Images are small images that users may choose that represent themselves. Like signatures, a user's avatar is displayed with each post he or she makes. You may choose an avatar by editing your profile (click on the my profile link on the upper part of the page). Note that this feature may be disabled by the board administration. <br /><br />Can I upload an Avatar Image of my own? <br />For security reasons, we do not allow any file uploading. If the board administration allows it, you may provide a URL to an avatar hosted on web space that you have access to. Otherwise, you must choose from one of the avatars provided by the board administration. <br /><br />How to I hide the Avatar Images of other users? <br />If you do not wish to view the Avatar Images of other users, you may hide them by changing your preferences. Click the "my profile" link at the top of this page, then click the Edit Preferences link.

Had a feeling about that...bummer cause I spent a week designing oddjob form scratch. Oh well maybe I can use him somewhere else or here with a non animated version.

OK what can I be doing wrong? :confused: I am going to my pic hosting site (photobucket) and copy and paste just like when I want to show a picture.I am pasting right in the space provided for the custom avatar. Why is this not working? :confused:
