You need a webhost first. If your ISP doesn't give you any webspace, there are other options.

free web host with hotlinking? (for avatars) - old topic; some information may be out of date, as web hosts can change their policies or practices

At the top of the forum, click on My Stuff, then My Profile. At the bottom of that page, click beside 'URL to your avatar', and copy

into the text box. Once you hit Submit, the avatar should start showing up in your posts (might need to make another post first; don't recall).


You only need the image tag to put the avatar in the body of the post.

Yes, that was what I was describing. You don't need the image tag for that.

Nice to see after thirteen years this shit still hasn't been fixed. Really fills me with confidence.

This old thread is from a user who didn't understand how to link a customised forum avatar rather than a bug. And from the fact their image isn't a standard one, looks like they figured it out.

If you say what your own problem is, then perhaps we can get that sorted too.
