Hey Steph, I'm trying to modify my avatar to a new one you have listed but it's not going into effect.
I actually had one I personally would like to put on but can't figure out how to do it. Can you help me out via my email?
And you or Cosmo may delete this post after it's resolved. Thanks.

Which avatar are you trying to choose? i can probably change it for you.
You have to make sure the line below the drop-down box is also empty of any content. Sometimes the URL of the old avatar is in there, and it uses that one.

It's the one of Lizzie from the LiveJournal pic ending w/ 10753788. I have another of Lizzie of my own that I'd like to use so no one else does. That's why I'm changing mine today. I saw Cosmo had one of her own, and that's what I'd like to do. Edited to add: Here's the one I'd like to use as my own personal avatar. www.pbase.com/cinnamonhrts/image/94137820 |

OK, I finally got the old one out by completely erasing it and having None. Then put the new one back in.
I also tried to put my own one in, so am going to try erasing this one first, and trying again with my own. I guess it takes some fiddling.

You have to have a real image url, with the .jpg or .gif at the end for it to work i.pbase.com/t1/46/131446/4/94137820.mnFRMWo1.jpg I do recommend you try to resize it to 100x100 max if possible, just for maintaining browsability of the threads.. with large images loading, it will slow things down. |

Got it! You can delete this thread if you like, unless you want to leave it up for education.  |

I saved it to my computer, trimmed it to an even 100x100 and sharpened it a bit so it doesn't look stretched, uploaded it to my flickr account, and switched it out on your profile. Good?
