I've decided to start this topic for a place to troubleshoot avatars, signatures, and profiles that members (new and old) may be having issues with. If the question you have isn't in any FAQ list (the best place to look is the Board FAQ; newbies, see my signature for a link Edit: As of right now, they're not in my signature. When I fully return [it'll be a lot longer this time], my normal signature will be back) or other existing method of explanation, or if it's not explained clearly enough to easily understand, ask about it here. It may be faster to have your question asked by posting in this thread where all other members can see it, rather than relying on one admin to help you.
So anyway, the cause of me starting such a topic: I'm having a problem with an avatar.
After much fuss on my part, I finally got the site to link to one of the YW LJ icons that I loaded in to my public web album. I edited a message I posted here, and saved the message.
Now, for signatures, if I change the signature and edit a message, it will get the new signature to appear on all my posts. In other words, it applies, or activates, my new signature. I'm trying the same method for an avatar; however, what this accomplishes is that a little line appears under my name that says: "Picture of EricG1793". How do I get my actual avatar to appear, and not that line of text?
In a few other members' cases (I don't remember any names right now), I see this same situation.
Oh, this may help too: When I look at my profile page here in my Personal Zone, my avatar doesn't appear there, either.
Since my signature has no YW books-related stuff in it, I thought it may be nice to have a YW-related avatar.
