Make a copy of it and resize it in a way that the longest side is about 100 pixels. Then, upload it your image server (like Flickr or tinypic) and then use the image location and link it to your avatar location inside your f-stop-cafe user profile.

grrrrrrrrr!! Tried and failed. I copied the image,resized it to 68x100. 100 being the longest side, then uploaded to flickr. On flickr, I then clicked share,then grab the link,copied. Then I went into my profile,clicked "modify profile"then pasted image into avatar url,then clicked modify profile. What did I do wrong? Thanks, Joe

Thanks, Joe No good listening to Jiro. he only changes his avatar weekly. You need someone who changes it daily... Go to Flickr, select the uploaded image. Select the size you need (should be up to 100x100px). In Firefox right-click and select 'copy image location'. Or, in IE select properties and highlight the image location. Paste that into the URL on FSC. I'm off to change my avatar Get back if you still can't do it.

You will notice that I have placed a test image as your avatar. Check out you profile to see what I did. I used PhotoBucket for convenience but the principle is the same. The image needs to stored somewhere like Flickr or Photobucket where you can grab the URL of the image.
If you are still having problems send the image URL to me and I will check if there is anything odd going on.

I have your Flickr account. Can you give me the name of the image so I can have a look at the avatar?
