    Yeah, I use PhotoIsland.  Only problem is that it's urls are about 4 alphanumerics too long to fit in the Personal Picture address (is there any way you can change this, admins?  or is it ikonboard standard?), but it does work for avatars if you don't mind updating your avatar url every few months.

    It works.  You just have to link the pic for auction.  Go into your photoalbum, click the pic, and find the link near the bottom on the left that says "link for auction, etc."  It'll give you a static url that'll last about 3 months.

    The string length in the Avatar path is fixed. I suppose I could modify the VarChar length in the SQL column for that value... <i>could</i>, but won't.

    If you need an  avatar picture hosted, just email me or Comprox about hosting yours.

    It's not the avatar address that's the problem.  It's the one for the personal photo in the profile.  It's string length is shorter than the one allowed for the avatar, and that just doesn't make sense, I guess.  I can show my avatar, but not my personal pic without 5 more characters.

    Ahh. Well, can't you just make your picture name be something like '1.jpg'?

    Not that simple, MonsE.  It renames the picture to some 20+ digit string, regardless of the name of the picture when you upload it.  Whatever, I just need to find some place where I can change the pic every so often with a short enough url to fit, I guess. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    Nah, that's alright.  I mean, the one I've got now is alright and all (and not something I did, I might add), but I'd like to be able to change the picture every so often.  And I just think it'd be a hassle to keep nagging, "Hey MonsE, couldya change my pic, please?"  and then hear you say, "But that's twice today already.  And it's not even noon." etc., etc., blah, etc., blah.

    So in conclusion, give me FTP access, or I'll just shutup and find somewhere else to host my nightmares.

    Bah.
