I've had this problem too. Does yours just come up blank? My image it too big, but the server should resize it.

I have resized my avatar to meet all the requirements before uploading it on the sim upload page. It gives me an image Ok HTTP link to copy and paste to my profile. I do that and click on update. It comes up blank. I'm lost as to what else do . Never had this problem on other message boards that I belong to.

I also tried the link without the imag brackets. I then get an error message saying invalid characters

The only time you'll get a problem is if you make a complicate file name using lots of odd characters (or in this case adding an extra file type ID). Now this is Bobs original file Code:

http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/Stearman%20Biplane.jpg3.jpg

but if we change it to Code:

http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/Bob70Stearman.jpg

there isn't a problem Wink

Oh and don't forget to tick the box next to the URL stating "I have my own image" or it won't work Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Well, I proved it works so it must be you. No image is showing in your avatar, not even a red X. Make sure you paste the full path in the box without the img brackets. Just like you posted above. Here it is again. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/marmy2.jpg

I'm going back to my own avatar now.

Huh

Not that I've done anything, but I don't think you have the rights to use that image ... That image is one of the sacrosanct images of all of Simviationdom.

Try what I told you. Paste the path in the box WITHOUT the [img] code.

Still doesn't work, doug.... I must warn you, my parents downloaded a 'Cybersitter' program. It's set to allow simV, but has been causing problems. I find it very odd, however, that the avatars don't and the sig do.

Tongue

I don't mind, particularly, i'll just keep to the forum default images.

This won't work either, so I don't think It's really solvable Undecided
