Just to be clear, the avatar photo should show your face so that all our members have an idea who they are communicating with. 
Thanks for your help with re-registering.

Hi Dave, Trying to include a photo or 'Avatar' as it puts it but all I get is that I need to change my URL what in plain English is that?
Help,
Les

Les, welcome to the forum
URL stands for "Uniform Resource Locator", and is the address for a "resource" on the World Wide Web.
If you had a photo hosted on a website, such as Photobucket, each image would have its own address or URL.
Was there not an option to "Browse" your PC for a picture directly from your hard drive?

Hello, new member Michael here. I've followed your instructions and I too can only see an error message when I go to "change avatar". There isn't no option to browse photos on my pc or to select a URL, it just says 

• The URL you entered for your avatar does not appear to be valid. Please ensure you enter a valid URL.
  Any suggestions for how to fix this would be gratefully received, cheers

Hey Mike

Can you confirm if you can see the upload form below when you try and change avatar? Just to check too, you're using this URL to change it - http://maidstonevictoryanglingsociety.co...ion=avatar

When I click on "change avatar" it says i'm using the wrong URL, I've used both links on the Email.
