I can't get an avatar to load.  I tried a couple weeks ago to load a pet picture, then tonight I tried to change the old one.  Last time I just tried to load a new one without removing the old one and it didn't work, so this time, I took the old one out first, which worked just fine, but now it won't accept a new one.  I tried resizing it and also tried in both browsers, Firefox and IE, but nothing. 

I don't mean to be a chess piece, so hopefully if we can get it sorted, I'll be a Christmas angel Innocent.

Thanks, Chris and Sarah.

Yes, I am having the same problem. Cannot load avatars for the life of me. Chris and Sarah have helped me out numerous times, but every time I try to do it solo: blank, blank. Methinks my technical (ie. computer) skills (not that I have any technical skills either) are lacking. Can I impose again and get POE to do it for me? However, I will need POE to hold my hand, (Don't snigger Ron). If I email you (again) a photo can you miraculously turn this into my avatar?!

Your present avatar makes me smile every time I look at it James. LOL

Incidentally I still can't get the smiley faces to work.

Hi Phil, are you making sure that your avatar is jpeg or gif and about 200 x 200 pixels square (if the file is too big it won't download to the avatars!)

YAY!  My avatar problem seems to be fixed!  Don't know what the problem was.  Maybe the site only accepts truthful pictures and I tried to upload an angel picture (for Christmas Innocent).  Wink
