Hi everyone. I am a new member.....very pleased to find this forum and Smugmug. I am having trouble adding an avatar from my Smugmug galleries. I get a message that the URL is not valid. I've read and re-read the instructions, but can't seem to get it right. I am obviously missing something. Here is the link for a test avatar:
http://greggae.smugmug.com/photos/27947781-Ti.jpg
I can get to it in my browser, but am not able to add it as an avatar. I'm in the last few days of my trial membership....perhaps that is it. External links are turned on. I'll try to add the avatar as a picture here:
http://greggae.smugmug.com/photos/27947781-Ti.jpg
OK that worked. I'll try adding a real pict to the end of this after I get the link. Any idea as to why it thinks the link above is invalid under the User CP section?
More importantly, I really like what I see here and on Smugmug. I am looking forward to learning from all of you and sharing some of what I've done. Thanks for your help.
Flowers are one of my favorite subjects. Here's a test post:

UPDATE: I saved the test avatar shown above to my PC and tried that angle. Found it was too big to be accepted. So.....I just added a GIF I had on hand. Looks like I am up and running.
