If anyone could help...

I've been trying to see if my profile picture worked yet but nothing has changed, is there some sort of code or something? I have the link but when I tried to make it work it didn't. I'd be very grateful if anybody could help.

You'll need to paste your link for one of the admins to be able to help.

I think I found out the problem. This picture is too big....http://sinxasin.deviantart.com/#/d4f34n1

This should work, IIRC.

Though it would be nice (for Kumiko) if he/she were to stick the image on photobucket or something. Once or twice I've done this and they've used the URL for their avatar.

Unless of course, VAE is offering to host their avatar indefinitely

Thank you so much!

Edit
Oh snap, it's still too big... Why God, why!?

Probably because it's 178 pixels high.

Oh... well now I feel dumb... oh wait, I am. Well, might as well make a whole new profile picture, maybe one with cat ears this time.... and cleaner too...

1) Fixed it , 175x175 now, Same URL

2) @Tape - I have free SRCF hosting until I finish college (1 and half years yet) and even after that they provide a free redirect, so if i'll get any other way of hosting stuff, it'll still work.

Avatar is working.

FWIW, the width of the avatar is better if it's less than 150, in my experience. We'll accept 175, but many screen resolutions will show that as scrolling.

Just so you know.

Also, 175 is a huge image that takes up a lot of screen space, so that when you've posted a one-line response, it looks very lonely. Also just so you know...

Hush, you.

See?

Well, I guess when I make a new profile picture I'll make it smaller...but for now let's just sit back and enjoy the mary-sueness.
