I cannot seem to get my avatar to upload to this sites profile. It is small enough. I also cannot embed an image in the forum. DOn't know why as I am loged in as a valid user and have both images in photobucket. Any advice? UPDATE: I found a way to fix the image embedding of my posts. Still no avatar.
