Maybe your image is too large in size. You can reset the dimensions at the bottum of the page directly below whre you define the path of the image

I don't know if it's the same for "http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/", but XOOM here never allowed linking images stored on their servers onto web pages stored on other servers.

You're images are functional, but need to be moved elsewhere.

Sorry.

Alright guys, you can now use avatars again from this forum. You'll have to go into your profile and select a gallery (currently there are only 2, cartoons & Vanessa-Mae).

Maybe it will be cool to have some members make some more VM avatars and make an actual avatar packs.

Sorry, I've had to disable remote linking of avatars for the meantime, because I can't find a mod that will restrict the dimensions of it when it shows up (as they did when we were on ikonboard). At least not one that works with the latest phpbb 2.0.10 yet... it's a bit strange and distracting to have some big big avatars, lol.

Anyway, you can however, upload your avatars to our servers (go into your profile to do this).

To all members if you want to use a Avatar you need to link to a off site address in your profile.

Thanks, but according the procedure in the profile settings, I can also link the avatar to a folder on my own desktop. This has always worked, but not anymore for some reason. Can you explain why?

Did they found any solution for this problem? It would be nice to see that everybody has a avatar again.
