In your profile, leave "none" in the "Avatar" box and scroll down a bit to "Avatar url". There you must insert the url adress of the picture from your album. Then scroll down a bit again and chose the size of the avatar. that will help to get an undistorted picture if your original picture is not a perfect square.

Paul, don't give up. Try putting in the length and width of your avatar pic. Go to the pic in Photobucket and click edit. Make sure you have the size as "tiny". Look at the length and height sizes in the boxes above the preset sizes once you have made it tiny (called "New Size"). That will give you the exact height and width of your pic and you can plug that into your profile.
The four things you need for a custom profile pic are: Select "None" for Avatar Put in the width Put in the height Click in the Photobucket box for "Direct Link" and copy (ctrl+c), and paste it into your profile next to Avatar URL

If the url has img[ in front and ]img in back, remove them.

I enjoyed talking to you too Paul. Glad I could help.
In case someone is reading this down the road and wondering what the problem was, Photobucket defaults with an IMG code under the pics. To get more options, like the Direct Link code, you can click "Link Options" under your first pic on the top-left of your main default album. What Ken said was true also. You can use the IMG code, but have delete the letters "IMG" and the brackets around them at the beginning, and the "/IMG" and the brackets around them at the end of the code. The IMG code with brackets is used to post photos in threads on forums, the direct link is used for your avatar.
Oh, also, when you make any changes to your profile here, you have to type your password in again at the top.
Paul, I like your new avatar! And congrats on your daughter's momentous milestone of riding a bike for the first time sans training wheels!!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Hey, you said you don't like the angry boy in your avatar, and I can still spot him there. Ready to throw some big boulders towards anyone who pisses him off. ;D Just kidding, looking great! Adrian
