Perhaps it is too large. The forum software shrinks large images by itself but seems to have a size limit. Scale it down with an image editing program to max. 300 pixels width/height and save it as a new jpg file.

Joe, you have to put in the address of the picture not the address of the album. It is shown next to "Direct link" when you hover your mouse over the picture.

In your case it should read
Code: [Select]

Hey guys,

I am having a difficult time trying to get a picture into my avatar. I have uploaded several pictures into photobucket. I tried to follow the instructions but I also keep getting a blank box with a red x in it. I tried citing the reference in photobucket but it does not seem to work.

Any help You can give me would be greatly appreciated.

This is a great website.

Thanks much ,

I just uploaded mine. I had to make it small, I used Windows picture and fax viewer, went to- edit, image, stretch/scew, changed the stretch percentages until I got down to 28K and then uploaded it.

Step by step:
1. Open the desired picture in your album
2. Copy the address from the "Direct link" textbox on the right under "Share this photo" (click to select, right click, copy). Or right click the photo and select "Properties", the address is shown there too.
3. Paste the address into the "I have my own pic" input box.

I suspect you haven't marked the picture as public. When I try to reach the address you're using I'm getting the facebook login page. Perhaps it's easier for you to upload your pic to SBG instead of linking to facebook.
