Ok, I joined Drawspace a couple of days ago and I love it. The lessons are awesome, the forums are awesome. I'm really glad that I found this site.
Anyway, I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I haven't been able to upload an avatar. I pasted the link in the little box and clicked 'Upload'. The first avatar that I tried, it said that it had been uploaded but it wasn't on my control page and it didn't show up when I posted on the forums. Then I tried another picture and it said that there was an error.
I would so appreciate it if you could tell what's going on. Thanks.

Hmm, I have only used avatars from my own computer....here are some things to check,
The avatar needs to be 100x100 pixels or under.
I think it needs to be under 10 kb.
Sometimes it can take a while for an avatar to show up, I know when you are changing it, it can take as much as a day or two.

I'll risk going faceless and see what the steps are for uploading from an URL.

This is what the code should look like. Mine changed instantly. In photobucket the code was under, direct link for layout pages.

Hope this helps, if not let me know and we'll brainstorm it.

I got my avatar up now. Thank you to everyone who helped.
