If you ever need any other lounge help dont forget about the Question and answer thread where things tend to be answered more quickly, so if you ever have a question you can go there!

Hi!

There are avatars here on leaky, although the galleries seem to be down at the moment
There are also Deathly Hallows avatars here, and regular HP avatars here

I pasted the above avatar and system said it updated my avatar but all I get a red "X" inside the box. What am I doing wrong. I tried putting 70 X 70 in the boxes and that did not help. Does this avatar have to go thru the hosting thing I was reading above?

Hey!

As you guessed, every avatar on the lounge has to be first hosted on a site such as Photobucket or Imageshack. I use photobucket, and you do have to set up an account. However, it's free and really easy to use.

If you need any more help, feel free to PM me or post here and I'm sure someone will be happy to help you.

Hey Saphira_shurtugal!

This is what you'll have to do:
1. Go to the respective area of the Galleries and choose an avatar that you want.
2. Then save the avatar onto your computer (right-click: Save as ...) Tip: rename the file to something short e.g. instead of avatars_movie_ps_may02.png rename it to something like poa_1.png. This will make sure that you'll get a shorter url at the end of step 7. The Leaky Lounge only accepts a certain url-length so this is really an important thing to do.
3. Go to an image hosting site like Image Shack or Photobucket
4. Now click on "browse" on the image hosting site.
5. Find the picture you want on your pc and select ok/select (depending on what the site says).
6. Click upload.
7. Copy the url that the site provides for you.
8. Come back to your control panel on here (use another browser so you have both websites open).
9. Paste the url into the section provided in your Avatar settings.
10. Save it.
11. It'll come up if it worked.

Hope this helps! And in case you need some more help feel free to ask!

As Aornis said, you need to upload it first so its not hotlinked. Here is a new link thats not hotlinked, which should work for you smile.gif
