My problem is using a photo of my own.

When I go to my profile and bring up 'use my own pic' it says specify your avatar by URL.  I put my pic in and nothing?

Post your avatar in "random pics" thread.  Right click it and then click "Properties".  Then copy the url and paste.

So Nic, post again and show us your avatar pic ?



I've tried for years and never understood,  
but I'll now follow these simples instructions, wish me luck.  I'm going to try to do it tooo

  I know how to add pix to my posts, but have found it impossible to do an avatar.  
But I've just bought a fab new iMac so wish me luck

Yes there is, I misnamed it.

and "properties" is named something else on Apple products.
There definately is a way to find a posted photo's url on a Mac.

I am pretty sure your "puter" works just fine. Seems more like operator error to me.

Here's the link:

Ta so much babes, I'll try it again later maybe
(definitely operator error, I've always known that.  I'm not techno and I'm not logical.
Sometimes I turn it all off and go out to the pub



...Where's Nic?  where is his avatar pic?  Nic?  where's your pic?

Did you figure it out?  If you can do it, I can
