How come I'm having trouble linking my avatar to my profile? This is the only place I am having trouble. My hosting service will allow remote linking.

You can do what I did (someone on the forum suggested this to me, I don't recall who)... Go to your project or success story and upload your avatar as an attachment, then link to that downloaded version. This has worked very well for me.

I had some problems with this as well and it's an odd problem...

For me it was a combination of things; but the crux of the matter is that the MSEFI forum software will only accept file names in lowercase letters.

If your web host is picky about case in URL's (some are some aren't) then you'll have to rename your avatar with all lowercase letters.

I know it sounds goofy, but it's true. Give it a try.

O.K., the lowercase letters cleared up the problem with the forum saying my website is nonexistant, but it says I can only use avatars that are 80X80 pixels. Is there a trick to getting camera photos to work? Can I edit them in mspaint or something?

You can edit them with Microsoft Paint, but it will be ugly.

Attach it here and I'll see if I can get it to a respectible size for you!

Or take ACDsee or Irfanview to resize all you want for free.

I cropped a 80X74 section from your pic and ran it through paint shop pro.Just right click and "save as"
