OK, don' know why but I seem t remember someone in the past having similar problems and they were related to Google Chrome, I THINK.

But, my issue is whe I changed my Avatar it never appeared in any of the posts I make. It appears on my profile ok, but nowhere else.

I would appreciate any solutions/sugestions/help.

Thanks in advance.

Any other avi work? Could be a permissions issue

Nice pic, has to be something with Chrome, I think. Or maybe the pic, move it somewhere else, then try to upload it again and see if that helps.

But then if it were Chrome would it not let you upload it at all, I don't know. I had one that did that, just got another pic. Try a differnet pic, if it works it is not Chrome then, something to do with the address of the pic maybe.

I know, just thinking out loud. Not feeling so hot, forgive me, Sir. Fell today, hard.

Save the avi pic to your computer HD. Set the size appropriately small (e.g. my avi pic is ~150 square & ~66 Kb). Upload from HD. Bada bing.

I prefer using Mozilla Firefox when on FN. I definitely have less spinny issues compared to when I used IE.

Thanks guys. I'm at home today and don't have any pics on my laptop, but I'll try some of the suggestions.

On my work PC IE is what I gotta use (all programs must be installed by IT, everyone has to use certain programs like IE and Lotus Notes for mail), but I use Firefox at home and you're right, it works way mo-betta for FN (No dbl posts, less other kludgy behavior.

Mainly tho it's way faster. With my low bandwidth wireless router, supporting multiple PC's/game systems/Netflix my laptop was slow. Not just a little either. Before FF it was 'hit-a-keystroke-and-wait' type slow. My daughter told me about Firefox. Being lazy, stubborn, and skeptical I kept bitching instead of installing. So she did it while I wasn't looking and demonstrated; all so she could get a "you were right/I was wrong" satisfaction from her stubborn Dad.

Try going with an Avi that shows ND stomping the Trojan helmet into the turf for all eternity. Works for me every time. ;)

May not like the name it has. Could be a copyright. Try renaming or re-saving it as a .bmp if its a .gif or vice versa.

Find some kid who can help you.

Just go get Hammered! and forget the whole thing.

The latter would be my choice.
