Yes mate. Pick the picture and edit it to the sizes suggested in the avatar section of the control panel. Save the edited version separately. Select the link that works, can't remember which but it's fairly simple. :thumbup:

I think you have to use the direct link on PB and put that into the Link-off site field under you profile/edit avatar.

If you used the Link-off site field, then yes. If you use the Upload from a URL:, then no.

Tut tut tut that's no excuse for being security concious.

scary stuff cyber
i was filling out a form online for my father in law just a few days ago and forgot his login info
my oldest son steps up and within a few clicks revealed all the login info ,passwords and all for all my sites
he never helped filling them in the first time round so didn't have any hints for passwords etc
i think it was Google auto fill or something like that he used

watty probable best you take all the photos down of the blue thing just to be on the safe side
