I uploaded my avatar directly from my PC - pyrochild tweaked it (I presume?), to accept direct uploads instead of remote hosting.

Bingo!

Good point - I know both of those hosting services don't play nicely with the occasional forum from time to time. However, while I'm not concerned enough about the lack of an avatar to be bothered signing up with ImageShack, I did try hosting it on my own website and linking directly from there. Same result... I'm guessing there's another factor in play here that we're unaware of, perhaps a hiccup in the IP.Board code, or something like that. Of course, my own idiocy should not be ruled out

Um, I must admit this is throwing me, too... My image is a 150x150 png (hosted on Photobucket), and it won't upload. I even tried a 100x100 jpg, but no luck either. I get exactly the same result as OddLlama.

Aha - that's precisely what I'm looking for! Thank you very much (never occurred to me to use the word "arch" when I was searching). And thanks for the welcome, too. I'm a long time casual PDN user and forum lurker.

I cannot figure out how to distort text into a curve to achieve a similar result to this Lucasfilm logo: Hopefully I haven't overlooked a tutorial here somewhere - I've searched but not found anything. I'm guessing this'll have a really basic solution that I've missed completely...
