Technical Problems

[Violetstar]

If for some reason your avatar won't show up, it is probably because it has spaces in the title, which are converted into %20. Whatever link you provide, it should not have %20 in it or it may not work.

Example:

img.photobucket.com/albums/v149/shaki_fan/Avatars/Violetstar2.gif - This one is perfect, and should show in your avatar.

img.photobucket.com/albums/v149/shaki_fan/Warriors%20Forum%20Stuff/Violetstar2.gif - See the two %20 in the link? Well, that makes the picture unable to show up. You will need to change the location of the picture to a place without spaces.


Now, I have noticed that the forum does not support pictures from Tinypic.com when they are used in your avatars. In other words, if you are hosting pictures from there, don't, because they will not work here (you can use it for your siggy pics though. I haven't found a problem with that.


I hope I made sense. Please ask as many questions as you have because I want to be really clear with everything

To host a picture you found on the net:

1. Sign up and/or login to either Photobucket, Walagata, or any other picture hosting site (not tinypic.com - the forum doesn't accept those for some reason... at least not for your avatar pic)

2. Choose to "Upload Picture from URL" and paste the URL of the picture you want into the box.

3. Copy the link they give you (which is the url to your picture) and paste it wherever you want it! ;D

To host a picture you have saved on your computer:

1. a) If it is in BMP format, download a program that converts BMPs (which take up loads of space) to GIF's (which load a LOT faster). Do a Google search and you can get free ones that are pretty useful!

1. b) Convert the BMP picture you saved into a GIF (or JPEG, wich also take up much less space than BMP's).

2. Sign up and/or login to either Photobucket, Walagata, or any other picture hosting site (not tinypic.com - the forum doesn't accept those for some reason.. at least not for your avatars)

3. Choose to "Upload Picture from computer" and browse for the picture you want.

4. Copy the link they give you and paste it wherever you want!
