How can i get my avatar to show up?

I tried pasting the URL but the answer i got was improper picture size. I then edited the picture to 80x80 pixels and then pasted it from My Documents and it still wouldn't show up. I need help, thanks in advance.

Is your PC hooked up to the internet 24/7?

If not, why would linking a picture from your PC work?

The pic has to be online. You can upload your pic to a hosting site or just grab a pic already on the web.

Did you try using imageshack to host the picture? That's what I do.

The pic is online but it's original size is larger than 80x80. I'm new to avatars, please go more into detail.

1. Find the image you want.

2. Save it on your computer.

3. Find a place online to host the image. This site will explain where and how to host the image better. (http://www.avispot.com/?template=imagehost)

4. Once you get the image uploaded to the host you picked in step 3 you will get a URL. A URL is the address of your image. It will look something like this.

5. Now that you know the address of your image online you just have to tell 2+2 where it is.

That should do it but some common mistakes can cause it not to work.

1. Only use images that end with .gif .jpg .png

2. It works best if the image is 80x80 or at least square as in 180x180 as when 2+2 resizes it to 80x80 it will distort the image if it is not truely square.

3. The URL must be valid. All valid URL's have http:// at the start and must end with a extension listed above. If one letter or slash is wrong it won't work look close to be sure you got it right.

There are other things that could go wrong but these are the normal ones. If you want help resizing a pic or finding a way to get it hosted I can try to help. I just need to be albe to find the image so if it is something you found on the internet just give me the link to the picture and I should be able to do it. Feel free to pm me if you run into trouble as I am pretty much a avatar freak. Generally just a freak really but it aplies to avatars as well.
