Hmmm? It links to a image of a copyright infringement message. Maybe there were protections on the image?

Maybe so. I thought they were for free. I am searching for an avatar right now and was confused as to why I couldn't seem to get that one to work. I'll find another.

Sounds to me like the images are free, but you must save and then upload them to your site. Hotlinking without permission is illegal, and many sites are using countermeasures like the image you see at this link.

If anyone needs help uploading their avatar just post about it and I'll see what I can do.

Right - I am clicking on my 'profile'

Upload Avator from your machine

I am uploading a pic of my son with 'Smokey' the Silver Back Vulture on his arm. It is in my gallery. Lovely picture that will cheer people up, as yours do Chris.

Nowt happening. (Nowt is a Lancashire dialect term for Nothing.)

Hey Up!! (Would you like me to teach you all to speak Lancashire Dialect?)

I believe the picture you are uploading has to be no more than 100x100 pixles. If it is larger, it will not show up.

Do you know, you are lovely Mr. P?

OK - now I think I might have managed a more apt avatar.
