Please note that, some web hosts/sites do not like hotlinking meaning their image file wouldn't load if linked from other site. In that case follow the 2nd Method.
A good Avatar would have dimension of 100x100 pixels or less and size of 10 kb or less.
File type should be either gif or jpg (am I correct?)
1st Method: If the image is in your web site:
Download it to your hard drive.
Using a graphic program (ACDSee, Irfanview etc) make it's size and dimension small.
Upload it to your site.
Put the URL (eg,
www.yoursite.com/myavatar.jpg) in your profile from control panel.
2nd Method: If the image is in someone else's web site:
Download it to your hard drive.
Using a graphic program (ACDSee, Irfanview etc) make it's size and dimension small.
U2U it to a moderator or admin.
