Do u mean the one on the bottom or the left?

Left: User CP/Edit Options/avatar (follow the instructions - must be within the max size 60x60 pixels GIF, I think)

Bottom: USer CP/Edit Profiles/Signature

To add a pic to it, it must be posted on a web site (I use banners from other's websites ), whereever after or before your text (e.g. specs etc) type "[img]" then immediately after, the link to the pic, then "[/img]"

Good luck!

Ah, I see you wish to link it to your car pics! Just do the "[img]"link"[/img]" thing - it should work.

I just tried your link, hee, hee, it doesn't work (check that that is the full link).

I'm interested to know how we can resize an existing GIF pic (moving one) so that it fits the Avatar requirements - anyone know, pleeeeze?

Alex, found out why. That link of yours is just to the title page of your webpage, not the pic. You need to:

1) open up the pic you want;
2) right click with the pointer on the pic; and
3) open up the pic's properties, then highlight and copy the address at which the pic is located (make sure its the full address), then
4) put"[img]"your pic's link"[/img]" around it (no quotations of course)

Don't worry, I'll remove your LM5's once I know you've seen this thread - btw very artistic angle on that pic Just wnating to prove that it works now (after the comment on my second post)

Dude, that link doesn't work, even without the crap after the JPG. Is that a password protected page or something? What you've done is correct - think it's something to do with the need for it to a publically available page (I tried openning up the link but it doesn't work either - normally you should be able to open up the pic by typing in the http link). Try using your Cardomain pic or if its not what you want, put the Yahoo pic there then try linking to it.

Take it easy dude, I know how u feel about the HID ban - I almost ordered a set when I heard the law was coming to HK!
