We have made it.
The avatars are AWOL i'm afraid.
I do however have them all if anybody has lost theirs and would like it back i can email it over

Trying to reinstate my avatar, which shows in my user CP when I go to the avatar section but it says that my current avatar - which is visible there - isn't working because the file type has been disallowed.
I'd grown quite attached to that fly, his name was Hamish. Please give me a moment to gather my thoughts and plan a suitable ceremony to mark the passing of the insect that's been with me on every forum there is since 2008.

John mine is saying the same even though it is with the pixel limits
My avatar was a .png I think yours John was a gif wasn't it?

So the question is what file type is allowed?

Managed get my avatar (jpg) back Was a bit of a faff Had to save it in photobucket then copy and paste the "Direct link" into the second box "Link off site"
Under user control panel it says not authorised to edit profile and not authorised to define a signature

I have raised a ticket with support to find out why you are not able to upload new avitars. When testing we were able to upload new ones over the top of the existing so it is (hopefully) something simple and quick to fix.

I have to admit, I will not miss John's fly. My monitor has a lot of dirty marks where I try and swat the chuffin' thing

I tried to post a reply before logging in and got a debug page. As I don't always log in (and always log out), that could be a pest!!

I've been chatting with one of the server admins and the reply button when not logged in can be fixed. The error is a left over from the anti-spam mod we had on the old server.
Avatars are still confusing. He is going to check the settings within their database and get back to me.
All good fun :S

Checked my sig settings and it said exactly the same as you.I have managed to do what you said above, and voila! its back so it does work in some cases.

Ha Ha!

I'm more than happy with my 'brand new' Simca - sporty, rearengined & no rust.
