Do you have it incased in the [IMG]

The file may be too large either resolution-wise or size-wise.

Here are the current restrictions for avatars:

They must be under 29.3KB in file size
They must be no larger than 60x60

Good luck and I hope that helps

EDIT: Another option is to just upload an image directly from your computer. Try saving it to your hard drive and uploading it instead of pasting a URL.

I did upload directly from my computer but the image was too large. And I had the [IMG] thing at both ends for Photobucket...but it is the wrong kind of jgp. WTH???

Will try saving a Photobucket one to my HD and see what happens. Thanks!

For an avatar you ONLY need to copy the URL, not the code to paste it on a forum or webpage. JUST the URL, without [img] or any of that jazz. If you did that is probably why it told you it was invalid, because as a URL, that would be invalid (but as forum code it IS valid).

I used the URL - but I was told the file was not a valid jpg, gif, or the other one.

It says this: The uploaded file is not a valid GIF, JPG, or PNG file. Please ensure that it is and try again.
