I have signed up with MSN's Myspace live and trying without success to ad a picture from the site to my profile.
I have managed to get the URL as a link but cant get a picture to display.
HELP!
Ian

You're doing it right then Ian, you just need to reduce the filename to under the 50
the 50 limit came on a few months ago, i had to rehost my pic on a different site as my host site name was too long
try www.tinypic.com

Hi Scorpius,if you sign up with Photobucket,it is free.Just upload your photo and you can resize it to the size required for this site.Then just copy the link which it gives you and just paste it in the box.It will show three links,you need the one that starts with img.Hope this helps you.Roy

Thanks guys.
I think that the way Myspace stores pictures causes many of th problems. TinyURL didn't work but Tinypic.com was just the ticket. (As you can see)
Cheers again
