Profile Picture

[Matt Vangaalen]

I uploaded my FVT pictures to BCDSM through photobucket, why cant I make a profile picture through photobucket? what am i missing?

Without seeing it myself, two thoughts:
-You're using the wrong link code.
-The picture is too big.

I'm not sure what the sizing limits are for this forum (usually a dimensional limit and a kb limit), but you are probably over one or both.

I say I'm not sure because my avatar is already pre-sized down from the full photo size - What you see is actually 100% zoom for that particular one.

if it's a size issue, open the pic in Paint, click CTRL + W then you can edit the size by either % or by pixels. i usually just edit them down to like 25% and 25% which usually works

Cam's profile pic is 120 by 98 pixels.

My avatar is 149 x 110.  The file size is 18.0 Kb.

Couldn't load as an avatar but I got the picture at the bottom of my posts

so i placed http://s1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/Vanga12/?action=view&current=0321d5c7.jpg into the picture spot on my profile and it seems to have accepted it but i still cannot see it? I shrunk it in paint to 1/4 size. An it is only 5.7 kb

I figured how to change the file to a gif. looks a bit sloppy but thanks for the help! I will work on making it more clear.
