cant get my avatar to work?
      #682406 - 24/07/2008 01:05

I tried everything I know possible. I made a 6kb gif, jpeg and png. also tried 50px or smaller as the 80pix wont work!
I tried greyscale, rgb, indexed, dropped icc profiles etc..

Im stumped, what am I doing wrong?
Its a little red x every time I test it

There's some kind of bug in the forum software - it's been the same for as long as I can remember.

Hopefully a kind mod will note your plight and come to the rescue like they did for me...

ROFL!

That would involve giving the hamster more food and oiling his wheel.
