Just added over 60 new avatars to the avatar gallery - no excuse now if you don't have one . . .

(Or you can choose a signal flag . . .)

Nuffin I've done should have removed any existing avatars . . .

Best if you just upload it again via your profile probably :square

for some reason that is beyond my techilliterate understanding i cannot upload my original avatar. it is on a gallery which gives me a link but when i try to paste the link into my profile the only thing that happens is a heading box pops up saying the picture must be a jpg / gif or something else.
i don`t recall having any problems when i first uploaded the avatar beyond being unfamiliar with the process.
where am i going wrong now ? :? and more :?

No remote linking allowed . . .

:doh! I forgot I turned off remote linking for avatars :sorry

Just download the avatar to your machine and save it somewhere, then upload it from there via your profile page.

Sorry for the hassle, but it means your avatar will be securely stored on our system and served immediately every time.

I've always said you couldn't possibly be as daft as you look.

ok, so far so good - the avatar is now stored on my computer. it measures about 300 x 300 so i can`t upload to the forum.
i can`t find any way of reducing the size ( i did say i was techilliterate, didn`t i ? ) although i must have cracked this one when i first put the avatar up.
help ..... :cry

OK
