    Been having a wee look at the source inbetween the "Tosa Urlavatar" comments, there seems to be a bit missing - the "" after img src is empty. Meaning no piccy.

    I manually inserted http://www.mizus.com/hosted/TosaInu/TosaS.gif in there, and this is what it looks like:



    Which looks excellent.

    Edit: And it now looks perfect on the forums too.

    Edit2: Just got the profile picture to work. To save confusion, follow Tosa's instructions, i.e. insert the url under the PP heading in the Additional Information section of your Edit Profile link. Don't use the now somewhat misleading Edit Profile Picture link!

    Disabled the normal Profile Picture link.

    The " issue is strange. I could see the avatar when logged as TosaInu. I removed some stuff around it, it did look ok and the normal avatar uses it as well (link to profile and alt tag). Now it seems to work in Experimental. No idea why.

    Right now I see a similar thing with your not selected default avatar. I'll have to see what changed this.

    To say I understand it is claiming too much.

    When you don't have a normal avatar it displays an empty image. It also does that when the urlavatar is empty. For some reason it can't pull that off when both are empty. It doesn't make any sense here either.

    Theother's rationale for dimension and filesize sounds good to me. End-user flexibility with limits that guarantee reasonable performance for "lowest common denominator" patrons .

    Once/if this goes through would I need a picture editor to use a custom avatar? The picture I am currently looking at is one of Kenshin on his horse at a battle and is much larger than the current avatar size. If anyone would like to see it here it is http://www.sinister-designs.com/grap...rutora2-2.html

    Is this something that the rest of us should be experimenting with yet, or is it still just Therother and Tosa figuring it out?

    I turned the DUA switch on and added a .gif file URL (in an [img ] bracket, but this changed nothing.

    Can we help test or should I just go back to the Main Hall and wait for further orders?
