Were you trying to upload a .jpg or .gif image from your hard disk, or copying the url from an image hosting site? How big was the image? It's working - I grabbed two of your photos from your thread in Fur Pics and uploaded an avatar without any problem. It works best if you cut the image to about 300 x 300 pixels before uploading.
You now have three more avatars in your avatar album (accessible at the bottom of your profile page). You can open the album, click "Edit Photos" at the top right, and then click "Use as my avatar" beside the picture you want, then click "Save Changes" at the bottom.
Alternatively, click on the album to open it, right click on the avatar you want to use, choose "Copy image location", and paste it into the "Add or Upload an Image" box that pops up when you click "Replace Avatar" on your profile page.
Thank You so much. Got my avatar changed. Now just need to figure out my signature. Not sure why but it says I can't access/edit the rest of my profile until I've been active in the forums... but I have been. Lol. Oh well. No matter. I'm having fun anyway. Lol
You're welcome! You'll be able to edit your signature when you've achieved Young Cat status, i.e., you have at least 20 post and 5 days of membership. This various groups and the perks connected with them are listed here: Promotions and Benefits
Once you've chosen a default avatar at registration the other choices become unavailable to you. However, you can right-click on one of the images below, choose "Copy image location", and paste it into the "Add or Upload an Image" box that pops up when you click "Replace Avatar" on your profile page.
