What Hi-Fi Team - What's up with the AVATAR?

What exactly is wrong with the Avatar? I have been unable to load any pictures, regardless of size. There was another thread on this some time ago with Andrew and Andy both promising to look into it, but there has been no feedback at all since then.


Please advice, thank you.

Re: What Hi-Fi Team - What's up with the AVATAR?

Most people seem to be able to upload their Avatars OK, but we are having a few stability problems with the site this afternoon, so please bear with us. What format/size are you trying to upload the picture in?

These were my attempt, amongst others - JPG File 2.05KB, JPG File 28.2KB, JPG File 1.59KB, GIF File 77.4KB, JPG File 468KB.


Each time an upload is done, the message says it's been done and to wait for about 10 minutes to take effect. Still nothing.

OK, we'll have to take another look at this, sorry for the frustration. It's a strange one this as it's not a universal problem, only seems to affect a few people. I'll look into it.

Re: What Hi-Fi Team - What's up with the AVATAR?

Could you tell us what size / format is preferred? I've tried a 79 x 79 BMP since that's what one of the working ones downloads as, but no luck.

Re: What Hi-Fi Team - What's up with the AVATAR?

And does the ten minute wait apply to forum settings as well as the main forum views, or should you be able to see the picture in forum settings straight away if it's worked?

He's currently trying to find a way to stop the site throwing error messages all over the place, as noted in another thread.

The avatar issue is sort of the least of his problems ATM!

Right - thank you for the update, Andrew. Whatever happened to the men with pens in their front pockets?

They're having the Clough whip cracked over them as we speak.
