Subject: New avatar won't show up
Hi,

I deleted my old avatar and uploaded a new one. I got a message that it was successful. That was two days ago. Today I uploaded it again and again got the message that it was successful. But my new avatar doesn't show. What do I need to do?

Thanks!

Typically you need to press Ctrl+F5 to refresh the cached image, but I don't see it at all in your post.

Can you upload it to this thread so we can take a look at it?

There's your problem. You need to upload the image to BT from your computer, you can't enter a url to an image on another website.

This is for two reasons:
 
1- If the other site is slow or otherwise experiencing problems it can cause a thread to load slowly for other people trying to view it.

2- Due to our heavy forum activity, avatars are viewed a LOT and it's not really fair for us to expect other sites to pay for bandwidth to serve up images that we display so much.

I did upload it from my computer when I did the avatar.

In reply to your post, however, I uploaded from a website. That's because when I clicked Insert/Edit Image here in the message area, it asked for a url. So I attempted to show you the image using a url (or is that an url?). Having no luck, I tried it as an attachment.

But when uploading the avatar, I clicked browse and uploaded from my computer.

Sorry this is getting complicated. If I need to switch avatars, I'll do that. I thought there might be something you could pinpoint.
