I'm having serious issues with posting an avatar. I've been trying for a couple days now. I found one, resized it to 95 x 93 and went into my profile to plug it into the Image URL box. Nothing works. Is my post count to low to have an avatar or something? I couldn't find anything about that in the FAQ.
Thanks!

There aren't any post count-based avatar regulations that I know of. In the 'Modify Profile' section when you've tried to add your avatar in, you need to have selected 'None' in the drop-down box next to 'Avatar'. If you haven't been putting in a width and height, maybe try that (which would be 95 and 93 in your case). If not, it could be that the image you're trying to use isn't of a format that Pulse accepts. What's the URL for the avatar you're trying with?

Ah. Pulse's system wouldn't understand a link like that. You need a direct link; a link which would typically end in .jpg, .png, .gif or such. I'm not really sure how to work flickr, so I can't really help you find the direct link on there, but you could try a site like imgur, Tinypic, Photobucket or Imageshack. I uploaded it to imgur for you if you're okay with that; this is the direct link to put in the 'Avatar URL' field: i.imgur.com/5oImX.jpg |

 A HUGE thanks to both of you. I appreciate it. I'll use something different from now on.

I am wondering if anyone can help me out...I'd like to turn the gif image below into an avatar, but the problem with this picture is that there is a large area of light gray space outside the actual animation. i54.tinypic.com/9scegp.gifIs there a way to get rid of that light gray area and keep the animation part? |

^ Sure, I can (try to) crop it for you;  Is that what you were after? Would you like it cropped further to be more square or anything? :) |

^Oh wow, thank you sooo much Slizzard!! If you could make it a little more "square-ish" that would be awesome but I think this will work. You're the best!!  |

 That's 160 x 160. I think it fits well. What do you think? :) |

^I like it!! Thanks a lot. It's actually for a friend of mine on another forum, she's a huge Keith Urban fan like me.
You're the best, Slizzard!! :)

Is anyone else having it where avatars that are animated gifs are just frozen and don't work?

I find highlighting the image will fix it as well.

Yeah, all gifs seem to freeze on Chrome for some reason, and I can't figure out why. |
