I'd really like to get an avatar into play. I found one on the internet I liked and plugged the URL into the avatar section of the profile. It shows up nice and pretty on the completed profile but did not show up in a post I momentarily placed (or this one either I see). I tried adding the [IMG] and [/IMG] before and after but got an error. I decided that was unnecessary since the image showed up on the profile.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

as Smokin' noted above there is some kind of script error in the avatar setting. So in order to get one to show here you need add an image link to the "Custom Member Title" using the standard HTML img code; need to put the HTML code [IMG] before and [/IMG] after the URL link.

The avatar setting does show on PM messages so leave the URL link (without the extra code) in that spot too.

Not error issue it works fine (as indicated by the avatars). You just have to follow the steps as you indicated.

Obviously it works. You did a great job explaining how.
Ok, so this isn't working so swell. I placed the link in the Custom Member Title, bookended by the[IMG][/IMG] tags and tried to post a new message. The avatar showed up but it was HUUUUUGGGEEEEE. I guess I'll have to figure out where I can edit the photo to a small (very, very small) image and have that hosted. Can anyone recommend a completely legitimate host website? This is new to me.
Hopefully, I've got this figured out. Too bad I don't have time to do it today. Maybe this weekend.
I'm likin' the avatars!

Just a note tho', in the profile 'Avatar' section the image must be a square or it will be 'squished' to make it a square. That is why I recreated my avatar as a square also. The 'Avatar' setting is the one that shows in private messaging. If you decide to use the 'Avatar' setting be sure to insert only the URL link.
