Problems adding an avatar to my profile

[RoyG]

Hi Chris,

Love the site & new forum - well done you.

Minor problem trying to add an avatar to my account profile - tried to upload a legitimate avatar (under 6 Kb, less than 80 x 80 pixels) and got a burst of error messages over the profile window - tried to copy them for you but the main screen re-loaded too quickly for me!

Perhaps you can have a look for the benefit of others who might try and do the same.

Thanks again for the site,

I have tried to add an avatar, just posing a message to see if mine worked,

Looks like my avatar did not work.

Here are the error messages mentioned above, I hope this is of use:

As you can see, it can be got to work, but only by using the

"Link to off-site Avatar:
Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to."

function... Bummer. I think the site is protecting itself against nasties getting in.

Sorry about that folks, I only bunged this Forum in because I couldn't get Invision Powerboard to install and was in a hurry! I'm no php geek, so don't expect me to get my hands dirty fixing it! :-)

Just stick your avatar graphic on a web server account (your free ISP provided web space will do fine) and point your Profile settings at the URL and you too can have a completely prattoid avatar. :-)
