I've searched and searched but I can't find a match. I am trying to revise my sig pic (for obious reasons). I have thumbnail size pic on Image shack but I can't get it into my sig pic. I copy and past the address but when I save changes I get an "Invalid
File" error. Whats up?

When I past the same string in a post is shows up like this:



Thanks

First, do you mean your avatar under your name?

If so, and you are wanting to replace it with a more clear one, what has to be done is that the pic must be 150x150 pixels max and 29kb or less in size.

I suspect your thumbnail pic does not meet that spec.

You could edit the pic on your hard drive, size it like you want, and then return to UserCP, Edit Avatar and upload it from your hard drive.

I used a freeware tool, EZ Thumbnails, to make this one...

Ok, I think I understand. I can upload pic off my hard drive for my avitar pic, but if I want to insert a pic into a post then I need to use something like Image shack?

You can upload avatar and profile pic from you hard drive. You have to use a hosting site to create your sig with pics and post pics in threads.
