As long as the URL to the avatar is correct, it should display it fine. Otherwise, we do have limits on the size an avatar is allowed to be which is 200x200 (rather large). Try not to get any that are TOO big... \o/

will a local url work?
eg file:///home/whatever/something.jpg

Unfortunately, it won't. It has to be external.

Are you still having trouble?

it could probably work but the forum probably masks out file:///...jpg with something like http*jpg and even then you'd be the only one able to see it.

If, for some reason, you can't get your URL to work, just email me or give me a link and I'll gladly host it here. It won't bog down the server or anything.

Loki, you've totally flipped your lid. I'll try to find you some help. In the meantime, put some ice on your forehead.
