May depend on what web browser you're using. I can see it if using Internet Explorer, but when using Opera, my favoured browser it's not there. May just be a settings thing

Cheers,

I'll wait till MrDD gets in as we use Internet Explorer. We have had some difficulties in the past trying to open some attachments as well.

Right, so maybe it's a settings thing. It might be because of the slightly unconventional way I downloaded it. The normal route of opening one sent to me (or posted there myself) wouldn't work because my 'puter detected a virus in the attachment. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but thought I'd mention it.

Anybody else have an invisible-to-some avatar? :)

I have an invisible avatar - but think this is due to the fact that despite searching threads, I am officially clueless to this technology.
I asked some of the kids that I work with to see if they could help me and no they couldn't - amazing though how they get through my net nanny and download porn onto my works computer on a daily basis!!!! (I'm starting to get a reputation in the I.T dept)
So I am just going to have to remain avatarless!!!! :(

Wishing you a very happy birthday Tony - enjoy your evening.xx :beer:

Someone (can't remember who) posted quite a detailed description on a recent thread explaining how to do it. This is before I got mine.

If you do a search you'll probably find it. In brief, find a picture on the net you like, scan one in yourself, or maybe even create something in Paint, or in my case have someone send it to you, and save it to Pictures. You may need to resize it (sorry not sure how to do that) so that it isn't too big, and then come to this site. There's an Edit Avatar button you can press. Click Browse to find your picture (you'll find it easily if you gave it an obvious name when you saved it to file), and upload it. It should appear in your posts and profile.

Sorry if I missed out any stages or didn't explain things very well as I'm not very techie. Like a said, this other post I read recently summed it up in a nutshell.

There are actually sites online which specialise in avatars, some free, some you have to pay. The advantage of these is that they are already the right size to download. Good luck! :)

Tony - you're a star!
Right I am armed with coffee, chocolate and knowledge - I'm going to try it now.
Watch this space and I guarantee you will see - absolutely nothing. Ha

Whoohoo!
I did it - I'm so chuffed with my new found technology.
Can you see it???? :)

Weird -

Firefox = can't see your avatar
Internet Explorer = can see it.

I can see everyone else's in Firefox, what's so special about yours???

Oooh, it's a pretty birdy, anyways...!

*Can see your avatar too, Kristine :) *

Re: Can anyone see my avatar?
 
I'm the opposite.

Firefox = can see your avatar.
Internet Explorer = can't see it.

Must be a setting or browser add on not installed for one of them.
I have seen this with someone else's avatar on here. Curious but not to the extent that it'll keep me up at night. Sorry TK.
