Welcome to the Web Board

Could I ask though that you reduce the size of your Avatar as per the information given in the User Control Panel

Displays a small graphic image below your details in posts. Only one image can be displayed at a time, its width can be no greater than 80 pixels, the height no greater than 80 pixels, and the file size no more than 6 KB.

Steve,
I deleted the oversize photo. Then I created an 80x72 px photo with PSP- uploaded to my Facebook account (as I did for the 1st image). I copied the URL of the photos location...

(FB page URL: http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak ... 5295_s.jpg )

and enter it into the Corel Avatar Control dialog in my Profile and submit... I get the msg "The URL of the remote avatar is not valid". Am I missing something? It seems that it worked the 1st time ok- but not now.

If I enter the URL directly into my browser (TB) I get the photo returned to the TB viewing page as it should (try it).

Oh yes- 1 more thing... my browser indicates your website "forum.corel.com" is located n Taiwan - why is that?
