Avatar Frustation

GypsyJan - 9-4-2016 at 06:04 PM

I have read all the rules, signed up for DropBox and submitted a 100x75 .jpg image to Baja Nomad for an avatar picture under my ID.

Nada por nada

Mea culpa, but where did I go wrong?

Well, now that Doug has moved your thread, he has seen it... Possibly he has already answered you in the u2u, or he is working on it?

yes , I too have tried a few times over the last year... gave up
tried entering the avatar URL and editing my profile. Nada

or maybe theres a different way to submit, as mentioned above?

If you are linking to a dropbox image you need to tweak the url...

After you copy the public Dropbox link to your clipboard, just change ?dl=0 to ?raw=1 at the end of the URL

here is a detailed "How to"
