Hi Ed, it's Jan / Jannx here on my ongoing effort to upload an avatar.  I've tried as best I can. I've got other avatars on the net and all seem to be the same process as outlined here at Filmwasters but for some reason I'm not getting this to work. Here's a few "docs" to show what I've done and a link to the image..hopefully you can comment and straighten this process for me.

As you wrote I did the following:
opened my "profile"
went to modify profile
went to Forum Profile Information
went to the "I have my own pic" and entered a link / url
went to the bottom of the page and clicked "change profile"

I then returned to the filmwasters home page and sought this comment thread to see if the image was showing. It did not. I tried this twice more just in case I missed a step however each time there was no image below my name.

I've included these jogs to assist my description above.  One final note.. I'm wondering if the issue is based on the size of the jpg over at flickr? I think it's about 400kb.

thanks Jan

Jan, when we upload images to show they have to be less than 200k.

Perhaps this is the issue?

Thanks Phil, I've downsized the image from 280kb to 70 kb.. still no go. Is there a limit on pixels ie max 100 or something? I'm used to these images being auto resized like flickr does but I know some sites don't do that. What are the max dimensions for the avatar and I'll resize the pixel dimensions. Right now the image is 70 kb and 500 / 500 pixels

Janx, have you tried using this link from the share the link option on Flickr?
