For some of us, even if the image toes the line, it still doesn't show up......  _________________ It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

I'll move it
I recall that it isn't just the size of the avatar that counts, it's also the pixels (density, IIRC).
...but as Sploom implies, even having the right size picture doesn't always work...which is why I haven't bothered changing mine in a few years... _________________ Play it nice and cool, son. Nice and cool! You know what I mean.

I have tried on a few occasions, but always revert to the Sheik (Yerbouti) as my default, because I know it works...  _________________ Blessed are the cheesemakers.... |

I've tried using old photos/images that have worked in the past, but don't now! I wonder if it has something to do with something I don't know anything about......Yeah, summat like that.....  _________________ It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

I guess my PC is the culprit....I will use a different computer at my pal's if possible tonight. If not, I'll use a different one on Monday.....
Thanks for trying, anyway, Zap!  _________________ It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

I just tried to upload four (not at the same time ) and all of them were rejected for being the wrong size. |

I dunno what goes wrong. It states that my profile has been updated, but the image doesn't show up. I've even tried using the Blues Bros. .gif I used years ago, to no avail.....
It's not a big deal I suppose, it's the curiosity in me, that wants to know....,.  _________________ It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.
