The forum software doesn't seem to allow for uploading of avatars or images.  As a work-a-round, if you would like to use an avatar, do one of these 2 things: 1. upload your avatar to a photo-hosting service and copy the url to the appropriate section of your profile. 2. choose an avatar from the gallery, and past the url in the appropriate section of your profile. If you would like to post an image, you need to host it at a service, and paste the url between the img tags ![]() [/img][/b]. You can also use the ImageShack uploader which is now on every post page.  |

It worked for me - this is one spot that it is counter-intuitive because there is no save button. If you upload whatever you want to photobucket or whatever image host you use you can use a direct link (http not img). I had issues because there was no *save* button - but as long as you put your password in before you hit the modify button - it will save the changes.  It only took me three times with mine, and my sig line. |

UPDATE: We now have an avatar gallery. Just go in to your profile, scroll down next to your current avatar (or where it would be), and right next to your current avatar you'll see some text along with a link. Click on the link, choose your image, and copy the direct link (no code!!), then paste the direct link in to the area for the url. You can also check out the avatars here: s667.photobucket.com/albums/vv33/science-rocks/avatars/?start=allWe also have an ImageShack uploader on every post reply page just to make things nice and easy. It's located just below the row of smilies.

Yeah. I can't focus on much because of my div. proceedings, and this stuff requires little focus.  |

I hope that resolves well for you. My brother finished a NASTY divorce with his ex-wife in December, and yet somehow, despite a year of really ugly business on her side (she appears to be bipolar and is untreated), they're getting along rather well right now and are even friendly. I hope that can happen for you, too, that somehow it will resolve well and stay that way.
