    Hi, VerVolvo,

    I'm sure COastal will solve your problem, but here's my two centimes worth:-


    Your post says the picture is at :-
    http://www.xc70.com/pics/albums/userpics/b&b.jpg

    But if you right mouse click on where your PA is displayed, and select "Properties" you will get the address as:_
    http://www.xc70.com/pics/albums/user...rmal_B%26B.jpg

    'trouble is it's not there either. Now, I'm not clever enough to go and look (hack) at the albums directory under the covers as it were - anyway I regard what you don't have access to as "private".

    Another problem may be that the '&' character - a 'special' character - may cause problems in the BB's software, that's one reason why it has been translated into the string '%26'.

    A little knowledge is a dangerous thing; I'd either send Coastal a personal message or wait until he picks up your post.
    Mike.

    Try http://www.xc70.com/pics/albums/userpics/B%26B.JPG and it should work. However, I think your picture is too big and, for some users on dialup connection, it will take very long time to load. You should reduce your picture size to 100 x 75 pixels.

    VerVolvo,

    I went into albums, found a picture and click it to full size. Right click, properties and copied that HTTP://....

    Then pasted it in My Personal avtar. This worked for me.

    PS I borrow a picture for test purpose, and now changed back since it is not my picture.......

    Where is the picture you are trying to set as your avtar anyway?

    - EDIT-

    Got my own picture uploaded, but I think the location vil change later as it is screened and moved to your own album.

    Am I right Coastal?

    I have given up, four days now and still it is too big, it is not found, can't find it. I am not going to have one now. What happened to the old ones?

    it's 85 pixels tall, max allowable is 80.

    plus can't seem to find the option, but 30 k is awfully large for an avatar. try something that's not animated.. not only do the frames add to the file size, they also tend to be distracting for other users.

    the old ones were lost with the transition unfortunately.

    It you still have problems, email it to me and I will upload and attach to your profile.

    Cheers!

    Taylor.

    Getting that animated gif back is possible, although not in the same quality as before. I did a try, and you see my result. Some work behind it also as you have to resize and lessen the size(kb's).
