We’ve been having loads of problems with this one, it’s not just you. The US techie-types have been trying to get to the bottom of it for ages - well, ever since we got our own server, which is when it started - but still no joy… :cry: :cry: :cry:

The simple solution if you need your avatar (or would like your avatar) to be hosted directly on the site is to e-mail it to Rikki at UKAdmin@Truck.Net, being sure to put TruckNet UK in the subject line (hence avoiding the spam filter) and your username in the body of the message. :wink:

In the meantime, it’s actually bloody handy that you’ve managed to copy and paste the error messages above, as no-one’s ever thought to do so before (they won’t appear on our PC network because we’ve got an FTP link to the server), so that’ll give the US guys a bit more to work with…Thanks! :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:

while on the subject of avatars, 80x80 is a bit small these days, can we have bigger avatars?

The 80x80 thing is really for avatars which are hosted on our servers…it’s a bandwidth issue, I’m told… :cry: :cry: :cry:

Since these have to be uploaded manually by Rikki just now, he’s shrinking any oversize ones as he goes. :bulb:

As for avatars hosted off-site, we tend to be fairly liberal. My personal rule of thumb is that if it noticeably distorts the page on my screen, it has to diet!!! There are a few which are borderline - teddy’s Brum FC one springs immediately to mind - but which haven’t yet caused a problem…the day they do is the day they get threatened with deletion if they don’t go to Weight Watchers a bit sharpish (other slimming software is available… :wink: )…! :stuck_out_tongue:

Wide pics/graphics tend to cause more problems than long ones, if you see what I mean…but as long as you don’t kick the arse out of it, bigger than 80x80 is fine… :grimacing:
