Yep.. ok try following these instructions.. see what the out come is!  - find a photo/image you like a save it on your computer - go to tinypic.com and press browse - find your piccy that you saved and double click (it should appear) - then click upload - let the page load and then copy the text in the "link" box (it's the first out of 4 options) - then go to your profile (on MW) and paste that text into the avatar box.... - and press submit! Should work If not.. let us know! edit: the URL doesn't work in my post so i deleted the tags  |

If that doesnt work for you, the way i use is to right click on an image, click on properties and copy the link that comes up in the properties window-thing.

Also would it work by saving pics and uploading them into a photo bucket account ?

What Laura said ^^ ...But if you use Julia's method you have more control over the image, you can resize etc. |

Depends if you want to make your own avatar.. then you have to do it through a photo hoster online! (e.g. tinypic)  |
