...I just squealed like a little girl.

BASS DRUM! :D

Long overdue. Thanks, Alex!

Thanks Alex!

As you can tell from my avatar, I'm really happy about this! Thank you!

Awesome!

Cool! Thanks Alex!

what websites are image hosting sites?

Imageshack and Photobucket are popular.

Woah, I totally can't figure out how to get the picture. I can get the codes but they won't show on my profile when I put them into settings..........

Just put the url, don't put anything that has [img] or <img src="...> into it.

I used to have th Bluecoats logo but then I tried to change it, failed, and couldn't find the old one! XD

Make sure you are just putting the url in (only the http, etc., etc.) and don't include extra tags like <img, [img= or anything similar.

Also, note the size requirements as well - if its too big you may have to shrink it.
