Changing your Avatar

Post by dwilley »

I know I should know this, but apparently senility has indeed set in. How do I change my Avatar? I uploaded a picture to photobucket, and can display it hereImage but when I try to use the URL "http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l63 ... 1296692389" on the "Edit your Avatar" page, I'm told the URL is invalid. When I first joined I submitted an avatar that I thought was being hosted by Excalibur, as that was in the hosting web site URL, it showed up with my posts, but I don't remember uploading the picture to an external website, so now I'm confused. Any help offered would be appreciated,
thanks,
David

Uploaded the picture to imageshack and that appears to work, except I can't get rid of the pictures size, don't know why photobucket didn't work :?:

Looks fine to me regardless. Hope you didn't harvest a limb and miss a deer.
Edit: where did it go?

Having my wife host the picture on her Facebook account seems to have worked.
And yes, there was indeed a buck standing behind that sapling that I didn't even see. Luckily I’d already put one arrow through him, this one was an unneeded follow up. He dropped where he was standing about 30 seconds later, while I was still fumbling for a third arrow. When I shot I was not sure where my first arrow impacted, and he didn't run off so I thought I'd missed him, fortunately the first arrow passed through both lungs.

Looks like a vintage broadhead. What kind is it? Did you cut the tree down and bring it home? Looks like a wall behind it.

The broadhead was a 125 grain Razorback, if I remember correctly and yes, I cut the (very small) sapling down and brought it home. It was on a friend's farm and I got permission. That is a wall behind the cut off piece. Those broadheads worked great with 5 inch feather fletching, not so much with 4 inch plastic fletching. These days I use mechanicals, 100 grain Steelheads, with my compound.

I have a friend I'll call Dennes who wrapped three unused tags around three tree limb trophies one year. They hang in the display hall of shame :lol: :lol: :lol:

I actually have a second "broadhead in tree I sorta didn't see", that one's about a 2 inch diameter. Thought I could shoot between it and the other undergrowth about a foot from it. I was wrong :wink: that doe lived.

Dang...thought it was an arrow that went through up to the vanes until I read your post and looked at it closer. :oops:
