your link should be something like

Cheers gizmo. just the help i need.

HTF do you do it.

No sorry Gizmo. still can't get it. Do i use a url from one of the following? if so which?
Thumbnail for Websites
Thumbnail for forums (1)
Thumbnail for forums (2)
Hotlink for forums (1)
Hotlink for forums (2)
Hotlink for Websites
Show image to friends
Direct link to image

sorry, i've got no idea about the software or hosting you are using, I can give you the code this forum software will recognise but can't help on the content. can you view the avatar image in a browser window by clicking it?? if so go to the address bar and copy the address then paste it in to the avatar link in your options here is a l can suggest

I guess I must now do myself a new one then.

I only got half a one now:eek:

;) :D

Cheers for the help.

Like it. Made I larff

ok, think i've solved one reason why the avatars aren't appearing. if you are in plain white theme you won't see them, the red theme is displaying correctly so to check make sure you view in default style not white theme.....
