Yes, the important thing is to get the correct link to your uploaded avatar. For instance, if it is on Photobucket just click on the "Direct Link" box and the string will be copied for you...  Now on the banner on any Talk Morgan page click on "My Stuff" and then "Edit Profile"...  Scroll down to the avatar section at the bottom of the page and click into the circle to the left of "URL for your avatar..." to select it. Then in the box put in the URL for you image. If you copied this from Photobucket then you can just paste in the URL by holding down the Ctrl button and pressing v (alternatively you can press the right mouse button and select paste). The URL should start http:// and end with .jpg.  Click Submit and that should be it. ~iw

Charlie has very kindly offered to write a how-to guide for this subject. Once he has done it, I'll make it a sticky (non-moving) post at the top of The Malvern Arms and Welcome Forums. One point I would mention is that direct linking to an image in Photobucket that is not 100x100 tends to give a fuzzy image; therefore, if you are able to, resizing the image to 100 pixels and then linking as per Charlie's suggestion is the best course of action.  PS - I cross posted with Ian - his summary is excellent and as you'll see, he has also resized his image to 100x100.

 It would have looked better had the rear number plate remained yellow. But otherwise, I thought it was quite good
