I actually think my avatar is just on my computer. I looked at it yesterday when I read that you were still having probs & I can't see a link for my avatar so I don't really know where the hell it is! I should check my picoodle account. That's the only other place I used to post pics & I have had that avatar for ages. Can you put anything in your signaure area?
-
LOL....it is back. It will probably be gone by tomorrow. Maybe I just have to re-paste the link every day?
-
lol...i can't see it! what the heck is going on?

Hi Sheila, I have merged your concern here into the appropriate thread within our technical forum. So sorry to learn that you are experiencing an issue uploading your avatar. We have been experiencing an ongoing issue with disappearing avatars for quite a while. The best advice that I may offer at present is to link your avatar from a hosting site such as photobucket, Flickr, ImageShack, etc. rather than uploading directly from your PC to the message board. For most, this seems to resolve the disappearing avatar issue. Hope this helps! Anita

Well, I don't know where to put this so I shall put it here. Does anyone know why my avatar keeps disappearing? After about a day I notice it turns into a small broken link image box. I have seen many other people's avatars with the same problem. Any answers?

Hi, Use the PM system and send me a PM with details of the avatar you are trying to use. Are you uploading it from your PC to be hosted on this server? If so it must meet the dimension and files size limits listed. Upload Avatar from your machine: Did you copy it across from another site using this option: Upload Avatar from a URL: Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image, it will be copied to this site. Are you hosting it elsewhere and just linking to it using this feature: Link to off-site Avatar: Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to. If you're fetching from elsewhere using either of the second or third options forward me the link so I can check it that's an issue. At the moment there is no avatar showing associated with your account - have you deleted it trying to resolve this? Do all that via PM rather than publish your details openly here. Martin

Yeah, I like yours better too. My avatar lasted a record breaking 3 days!

I was really enjoying my new avatar... and now it's gone... again.

Hi all, Thanks for the useful feedback. Are you trying all options? Upload Avatar from your machine: Upload Avatar from a URL: Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image, it will be copied to this site. Link to off-site Avatar: Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to. It seems we definitely have an issue with hosting avatars on the host server. Try the third option where your image is collected as required from a third party host such as FlickR. Can you list which option you are using when your avatar goes missing and you post feedback here as it may offer clues where to look. I am in contact with the tech team and they sincerely are trying to resolve this so your continued feedback is invaluable. Martin

MartinPut Hi! My report in is that I have gotten the image up from my computer after a great deal of resizing to be 125px 155px = 20KB or less. But the problem is it goes away within 3 days or so. So tomarrow I will try Flickr & option #3, watch out. :

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. Thought I was going crazy. I'll try the image hosting thing.

Love your avatar..I tried the off site link, it worked until I posted and then disappeared again! Com'on, That is just so wrong..have a heart you ADM. I'd like to send my holiday wishes ... IF it's not too much to ask, before Christmas is over..

Thanks for your continuing feedback. It seems the only reliable method of showing an avatar is to use option three; Link to off-site Avatar: Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to. Which requires you to upload your avatar image to a third party site such as Flicker or Imageshack and then obtaining from that site the image link and submitting that in your Profile. Sadly it is the most complex option available. I have forwarded your feedback to our tech team to review. In the meantime, if you do have an avatar successfully uploaded and hosted on our site I recommend you do not attempt to change it in case you too lose the ability to use the on-site option. Martin
