Hi CI fans,
I've been going nuts trying to post my avatar of Uma Thurman from 'Kill Bill, Vol. 1' The picture where she's using the reflection of her katana to see how many bad guys are behind her. Anyway, I've got it to work once or twice but, when I leave the board, then return, the avatar has disappeared.
Anyone willing to lend a hand? Thanks in Advance, JMc.

Jeanmacgreen, I assume you have the photo stored in a host site like Photobucket somewhere. Did you go to your profle and type in the avatar url, specify width 100 and height 100, and then save it by clicking on Modify Profile? If you did everything correctly you should see your avatar displayed on your profile page. The avatar on the profile page will be the size of the image from Photobucket, but with the parameters 100w x 100h the avatar displayed in your posts should be downsized.

Yes, I did just as you've said but, what seems to happen is that when I have done that and it works while I'm online. When I leave this site and then return later, the avatar is an box with a small 'x' in it. Can't figure it out. And here I'm married to a guy whose head of a large company's programming department, how dumb is that?  |

This is similar to what I see in NikkiGreen's initial post dated 1/31/07 on the Town Meeting, February 2007 board (in The Squad Room). There is box with [image] and a red X in it. I meant to ask then what was in the image and why it doesn't show up.
In NG's case, it's possible the image she chose was removed by the host site. But in your avatar example, why the photo shows up when you're online and "disappears" when you leave and then return is a mystery.
There might be a logical explanation that the admin/mods know and hopefully will answer soon. Unless someone else has an answer, I suggest you get the admin/mods' attention by taking your issue over to the Welcome & Help Center on the Forum Questions and Comments board.

No balloons for me NG, just the box with [image] and the red X as I described. Maybe the admin/mods have an answer for this one.

I think it just may be an issue with your internet browser.
Everything shows up fine when I use Netscape.
However, when I tried it with the office's Internet Explorer browser, I too got the box with the X.

Thanks NG. I'm on MSN and usually don't have any problems viewing posted links. I'll try to visualize the balloons next time I re-visit your post.
