I know how to use the mood avatar thingy, but I don't know how to get the link to the folder with my mood avatars. I'm using Dropbox, btw.
So yea, how's it going? Currently TASing: Nothing

In profile, you'll need to put $ in the URL. The site will replace the $ with the number corresponding to whichever mood avatar you choose. For example, if you enter "http://tasvideos.org/avatar$.png" as the URL, then mood 1 will use "http://tasvideos.org/avatar1.png", mood 2 will use "http://tasvideos.org/avatar2.png", and so on. All your mood avatars must be located at the same path and the same name except for the mood number.

I know that, but how do I get the link to the folder/file of the avatar? It's supposed to be dl.dropbox.com/web something.

I guess you can use Imgur. It supports uploading more than 1 file at once

Fundamentally, you are referring to a web directory in which all of your avatars are stored using a regular filename scheme. If you don't have your own webspace to store the avatars on, Dropbox is your best bet. Consult the FAQs and the like to figure out how to use Dropbox and set up a directory so that you can use it for mood avatars.

I don't see how Dropbox will get you mood avatar to work, every single file or image link address is TOTALLY different and you can't control / change it.

I don't see how you can get mood avatar on Imgur either, once you upload image.. they change image filename to something gibberish like "jhlq3.png" (I haven't tried registered / pro feature)

Try Photobucket. That works perfectly for me. You don't even have to upload them all at once. Then use the "direct link" URL for one of them, but replace the number with $ in your Profile settings, and you have your mood avatars!

I didn't know that, sorry. Dropbox is out of the question as well, then.

Your choice. Personally, I use bright blue/green. Just do something that feels right with you.
