I don't seem to be able to re-upload my avatar as it has disappeared.

I have tried "upload Avatar" but cannot gain access to my Eigene Dateien.

Before I call my "inhouse expert", i'd appreciate a little information.

Thanks

What avatar do you mean Gill, I can see one under your name? A cat asleep on a newspaper?

Hi, there has been numerous threads on this topic, I think it has to do with the browser different people are using, internet explorer I think,
Groom can see the avatar but I cannot, there is just a red cross.
Trystan was trying to sort it out.

I can't see it but then if you can, that's ok!

BTW, the kitten is asleep on a book of German grammar.

You should hear him swear in German.

Yeah, I'm on IE9 and can only see certain avatar's, I think Trystan said it had something to do with the Download/Upload size of the avatar, I could be wrong though  :-\

Hello SwissGill,

As with quite a few other avatars, yours shows up quite normally in FireFox and Chrome browsers but not, for some reason, in Internet Explorer.

Trystan found that the width of the avatar must not be more than 80 pixels so first of all I thought that that may be your problem, as it seems to be with Emmeline. However I managed to download yours onto my pc and look at it with Paint Shop Pro and I saw that yours is the correct size. Also when I made it my avatar (on a temp basis just to check), it was visible in IE 11.

Computing is a weird science so perhaps you would like to download the avatar which worked, from this posting and upload this one to your 'Forum Profile'?

cheers, falcybe
