Both the original and modified files were .jpg files.

However, when the paint program saved the modified avatar image, it capitalized jpg (i.e. it was .JPG)

So, I amended the suffix of the name of the modified avatar image file from .JPG to .jpg.
{Probably a dumb newbie thing to do }

Anyways, as a result of your e-mail, I went back and amended the suffix to .JPG. and then went throught the same proceedure to change my Avatar
image.

The results were the same.

I did notice a warning when I clicked "Set URL" of the path to the "modified avatar image"

It said "Problems with this Web page might prevent it from being displayed properly or functioning properly.
line: 97
char: 1
error: invalid character
code: 0
URL http//www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?

I occasionally get this message when I surf the net. But it was never a problem. So I just ignored it when it popped up everytime I tried to use the modified avatar image file.

If that's the exact text of the error message, you're missing a colon; the URL should start with http:// rather than http//

The avatar you're trying to use is on your hard drive, correct?

It probably needs to be uploaded to work. If it is uploaded, please tell us where to.. that might be the problem as well.

Yes, the modified avatar image file is saved to my hard drive.

Upload? Maybe that is the problem. I have been using the "Use custom URL:" in the window "Intel Forums - Microsoft Internet Explorer" which is opened by MyProfile\View/Update Profile\Select a different Avatar Image.

Do I upload it somewhere else?

It won't work if it's on your hard drive, it needs to be on a website somewhere.

So, do I have to have my own website in order to be able to upload it?
