It didn’t work. That happened to me too. Tintin and Joy helped me so much! Did you want to submit your current avi?
The link works, you go to it and it takes you to my favorites.
It's not my current avi.
I can try to save it for you if you equip what you’d like to submit. Are you on a phone like I am? I usually have to get it to say copy image for it to work. I saved Joy’s words and will post them for you.

Also, while I'm posting, I thought I'd give this alternative way of posting your (or anyone else's) avatar on Gaia so it doesn't change when you do: 1. Favorite the avatar (click the red heart below the avatar) 2. Go to your favorites (in the drop down menu for My Gaia) 3. Click on the avatar you just favorited, then right click and select "copy image address" 4. You can use the address within the codes to post.
I'm on a computer and that's what I did is what Joy said lol. Inside the image codes doesn't work. Which is why I posted the link by itself. If you copy/paste it it works just fine.
That’s how I copied/pasted it (labeled 2nd try). I viewed it in your favorites, copied and pasted it in my post.

Thanks but as I said my entry works just fine. Let's stop spamming/cluttering the thread.
My guess is the image would be available for a year, like the Avatar Builder images. Will post the images in my resource thread and then I might remember to check back and see if the images still work.
I think I've used this type of link for a few contests without any problem. I thought the image used to be tied to the outfit slot - if you changed the outfit slot the image changed. Doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment. Also thought there were some viewing issues for some users - maybe that was through the favorites album though. sweatdrop
o: I didn't know the expiration on the AB images. So that's good to know too. Haha, I mistrust links that start with Gaia anything so I'm usually so fast to replace the link by uploading to my own imgur. I'm trying to be good this year and trust the links. <.<;;;

Another way to let Gaia host your avatar (if you're wearing your own stuff) is to favorite your own avatar, then go to your favorites and copy the image link.
Thank you. I think I've got that way written down in the guide, but I see your instructions that Esme shared below. They sound way more straight forward than what I've got, I'm sure. So I'll have to add your instructions to the guide. (will credit, of course)
Ha! You fit in a ton of items! That was a good idea to include the list of equipped items ^^

Thank you, got it! Yeah Esme was letting you know that for the last step, you should right click and copy the code straight from the image. If you use the link that Gaia provides, it won't work with image tags. Either way, I was able to grab it from there. ^^

Definitely not too late! For future reference, there were about 11 hours left of Day 1 when you submitted that post. ^ ___^ And thanks for helping with the code. ^^

Yep I know. Like I said I can't do that. I posted what works for me.

Quick question. I've made entries for the other days. On those days is it okay if I post the link to that favorite like today and you grab it that way? For whatever reason I can't save images with right click. Never could.

Hopefully this isn't too hidden. It's the top. Idk just liked my current Avi a lot so changed it to meet the needs lol
I’m late to quote ya so you can have extra time. Your avatar is lovely but the stepford dress doesn’t count as a starter item. Edit; extra time as in sometime tomorrow ^^

Thank you, cabbi! I think I'm just a bit too worn out from today. No creativity flowing at the moment. I will definitely have an entry for the fairy as well as blue & yellow categories though. 3nodding
