Okay this part is the test. If the new avatar pic with her wearing a hat appears, then it works.

Okay it worked!

If you don't have a place to host an avatar, you can host it here by attaching it to a post. Go back to that post and click on the attachment to see the picture. Copy the URL that is displaying the pic. Go to your profile and put that in as the address of your avatar.

I don't know how long message stay on this board, so when it purges off it will disappear. But by then you would want a new pic anyway. :)

Yes, it is working. What a cutie! And zazi is a cutie too!

You know, when they designed this message board system, they probably thought people would put their own pictures in there so people could see who they were chatting with. They weren't counting on proud mommies and daddies. :)

I had clicked on someone's attachment and when I saw that it gets its own URL, I just had a brainstorm that it could work for an avatar. I spend way too much time on computers. . . for work and for pleasure.

Karen,
What a wonderful idea!! And what a cute picture of Logan!!! She's grown so much since I last saw you two! We have to get together soon...I was still waiting to hear from Chrys but, so far, nothing...she did say Fridays were bad for her, though. Anyway, if she can't make it, we'll meet on our own.

If you are getting "script error" when you are trying to attach a picture, it is because your picture file is too big. It has to be 50K or less in size.
