I can't seem to use a particular link as my avatar. The pofile page just dumps the avatar settings whenever I try to save them. The link is: www.gravatar.com/avatar/04c2e40b66305057b3318aa6ec771e71?s=100On other sites, appending &=.jpg or &=.gif to make it look like a picture file makes a difference, but here it still dumps the setting. Any ideas?

No idea... but a workaround would be to save and upload the picture to a free image hosting site like Photobucket (registration needed) or TinyPic (no registration needed) and use that instead.

You can have EK make it one of the pre-loaded ava's here, that usually works.

As long as EK doesn't get so inundated he gets annoyed, yes... The official avatars are hosted by either myself or Steve on our Photobucket accounts, after all.

I realise I can upload it elsewhere. It's more the point that Gravatar is an avatar system that some forums I'm on use exclusively. It'd just be easier to link to that so I only have to change it in one place, but it's fine if it's not an option. Thanks for all the help, peoples!

Did you try deleting the "?s=100" part and adding ".jpg" instead? The size will be a little smaller but it could work...

Yeah, that does work! I can blow it up with the forum settings but it comes out blury. I'll stick with the link Galadrial gave me. I'm guessing the forum is rejecting it because of the ? or = characters.
