The permissions for the avatars folder aren't the issue. I've checked them anyway and they're fine (0777). 'Fraid it's a "contact the server" job.

In the meantime, I'll drop you an e-mail J and upload it manually for you, unless the issue gets resolved before that, of course. ;)

Edit: That is, I would if your e-mail weren't reporting an error...

If you want, you can try my upload script to investigate a bit more. Simply edit the paths in the script, upload and run it, but make sure nobody except you has got access to it.

Okay, wow. :o
No idea what's causing that. I'm gonna try again here, see if it's just me... I'll make mention of it - if I still get the error, anyway.

Hey J, if you want a new Avatar just e-mail me the file and I'll get it up for you.
This is strange that it is not working again.

Well, for some reason I can't upload an attatchment to the e-mail message, and it's not displaying your address, so I can't use my actual e-mail account to send it to you, or the board's system. So what I'll do instead is just upload it to someplace else and stick it into this message, and you can take it from there.

EDIT: Okay, that's the right size again... dunno why it looked so huge to me, but, anyway... yeah, just a minor change. This is pretty much just to make sure it can upload.

Changed, though, I cannot tell what the change in the two is, so I hope I got it...

Yeah, looks right. I removed the tacky-looking J I had in the upper right corner and modified the tassle on my hat. Also made it slightly narrower horizontally, and removed some of the blurry lighting effects I had going.

And I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that you can't tell what I changed... but I didn't change that much so I'll write it off as a lack of effort on my part.

Thanks for uploading it, Sheexy! :D

EDIT: Umm... it went back to what it was? Somethin's definetly weird around here...

EDT AGAIN: Okay, what the... seems to be right, now... oi this is confusing...

Hold Shift, then refresh, it should eliminate that from happening.

I can never remember whether it's Shift or Control you have to hold down when pressing F5... Or even if it varies from browser to browser. If in doubt, flush cache out. ;)

For the record, I think Shift worked.

Looks like it's both depending on what you do with it...

* Shift-F5 does nothing
* Control-F5 is ‘hard refresh’
* F5 is ‘plain refresh’

but

* Shift-click (on the reload button) is ‘hard refresh’
* Control-click is plain refresh
* Click is plain refresh

Interesting... Well, this is in Firefox at least, though I'm guessing that IE will be more or less the same.

I figure this might b the place to post this:

how to I change my title underneath my name?

I've been around for like 10 years and i would no longer like to be a rabite,
I used to be part of the staff for rabites sake.

I want to change it to something cool like captain hollywood.

Aaaand, my avatar's acting up again. Went back to what it was before, that's a bad thing, yes it is... :o

Perhaps posting this message will temporarily fix it! Again! <.<;;

EDIT: It did, but this is a recurring glitch and it's annoying me... just a tad.
