Okay, I did that for ya... You just go in on your Control Panel, Edit Avatar, Select "Use Custom" then put that URL in... It's good to go!

If I can find that setting I'm going to shorten that down!

I fixed that too... 1 is the limit now. Can't get any lower than that!

Au Contraire. 0 could be the low limit. But then what?

No, it won't allow it. Even if I remove any entry it would still require at least one character per post.

Does the avatar have to be made to a certain size limit?

It does, but I am unsure of the limit I haven't changed it from default. I'll look into that.

It's a radio button. If you click on the Use Custom Avatar below it the it makes that button inactive...

Do not use an avatar
Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.
