Don Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 When I'm browsing a thread, sometimes I see my avatar. Other times I see the magic red X and a box about the size of an avatar. Other times I just see my name with no avatar. Do I have something set wrong? Do others see it and it is just my browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 As of right now, I don't see any avatar for you...did you delete it? I can try to check out what's going on but I'll need to know that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 No, I didn't delete it. But if I go into "Avatar options", I get the red X. Hrm. And I don't have it anymore. Is there any way of getting it back? I suppose I can get it from the cache on my machine at work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hrmm...lemme go into the CP and see what's up. Can I have a link to the image you want your avatar to be or was it uploaded from your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Don, I checked it out, and something isn't translating correctly. Here's the response I got when I tried to access your avatar: /forums/uploads/av-392.jpg Is not available. So, if you have an image of the avatar on your computer, PM it to me and I can just upload it myself and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hrmm...lemme go into the CP and see what's up. Can I have a link to the image you want your avatar to be or was it uploaded from your computer? Uploaded. Because I had this problem a while back with one of the Canadian flags that I put up during international tournaments.... the fellow with the web page nicely took his site down. So I rather upload them than count on someone leaving their page up in perpetuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) *sigh* It's bad enought that Bob Goodenow destroyed this years hockey season, but NOW he's going around deleting avatars. Rat bastard. I have thwarted Bob and re-found my avatar over on the Flames board. I shall keep it on my desktop until a settlement is reached.

DevilMinder Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 better to host the image yourself or upload it here. You take a real chance that the image owner changes it to something unsavory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well as I said at 6:51, from now on I'm uploading them. Though that is a good point that someone could change it, I now upload because people often take down or move their site entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevils_info Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Or people sometimes delete the images that are no longer being used because they notice in the site logs the file is being used on other sites without them asking first and it's taking up bandwidth! Sorry... had someone steal a ton of Marty Brodeur videos the other day, put the actual videos on a site so when anyone visits their page, every video on Brodeur is downloaded from my site. Needless to say, I saw a huge spike in bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
