| I don't know exactly what's going on with the missing avatars, but based on what I've read Forumotion is either undergoing maintenance or has recently done so. In the meantime, it would appear that everyone's avatar is no longer working. Once an avatar is uploaded, it goes to one of the servers, and either that server is down or is no longer functional. I was able to reload an avatar, but it would appear that the resizing function isn't working. So if you do reload your avatar, please make sure that it doesn't exceed 200 x 200 pixels. Hopefully they will get these issues resolved soon.  | |

| Weird, didn't even notice it. I guess it means I need to come up with a new one, eh? | |

| Sami, click on "profile", then "avatar". You should be able to upload one from there. It looks like Forumotion tried to switch to a new server, then it didn't work so they switched back. That's probably why stuff got lost. I also noticed we no longer have the option to upload avatars from our desktop. Gone also is the automatic resizing.  | |

| Hey, no problem! Yep Nay, you're right. All of the smilies I added to the forum a year ago are gone.  It looks like when the providers switched back to the other server, we lost a lot of stuff. Crap, that irks me. | |

| I'm giving them a little bit more time to see if the problem corrects itself since they seem to still be doing maintenance. If not, then I'm going to have to find them all on my PC and reupload them. When I went to their forum, others were was complaining about the same problem. One guy said he had something like 140 of them that came up missing. | |

| I'm reading through the forum and everytime I see that picture I think it's your post but it's not. I'll have to change avatars. I need to find that plaid again. | |

| LJ, if it makes any difference, I quite like your new avatar. Much better than boring old plaid.
When are we getting the smilies back, Miss Donna? | |
