The other problem might be the size of it. I found that mine was the right size in Kb but was bigge than the pixels size in one dimension so I made sure is was under that size & voila it worked....... just something else to consider

Couple of questions for Admin:

Are you running the server in 'safe mode'?

Are you writing avatars to the DB or the server?

Regards

Stealth this problem has only occurred since the last forum upgrade to the 3.6.4 vBulletin version. Our wonderful web designer Ben will soon sort it out.

Everybody should have that little bit of mystery about them, and LJ just would not be LJ without it.

Mr MB wants me to explains that he painted this muriel (sic) on the outside toilet to brighten the place up. I like it so much that I use it on my blog - viewing the world through a different perspective sums up the concept.
