Hey, I'm not complaining, and I don't mind changing my avatar. But I noticed it was missing from my posts today. I logged into my control panel to see if I'd lost it, and saw a message that said something like "This avatar can not be displayed because it doesn't meet forum rules." I don't believe it's about size because I checked that carefully and it has been working all along.
I used the search function and re-read the posting guidelines and I didn't find anything about this. So I simply don't know what the rules are before I put up another avatar.
Again, this is far from a complaint. It's just a request for information so that I can find another avatar that meets forum rules. I apologize if I failed to find avatar guidelines if they are here somewhere.
Anyone?
Thanks.
Disappearing avatar. Anyone else?

Where is your avatar from? Way back avatars had to be less than 15k and really small in pixel size, yet a whole lot of them were bigger than that and still displayed. That was understandable because we had pretty shitty internet connections in those days. It shouldn't matter much now as long as the dimensions aren't too big.

Cambo11, did you change your redneck tray avatar, or are you referring to that one?
There is no rule about avatars but obviously we don't want anything that can be deemed offensive or that is NSFW (not safe for work).
Edit: Hah! I just realized mine isn't showing either and the reason given is "this type has been disallowed." I guess there has been some technical tweaking done.
Try to upload another picture.

JOON!!!! You should have better taste in avatars and yours wouldn't get banned.Joon wrote:Cambo11, did you change your redneck tray avatar, or are you referring to that one?

Naw, thanks for the info. Yes it's the very classy toilet seat TV tray, one of which everyone should own. As for offensive, that would be a nude picture of Scobie.

It also seems that we can't upload pictures from computer directly. The only option left is to host a picture and to link to its URL.

So why has the upload been disabled and no explanation given...great.

I inquired about it. In the meantime, let's not jump to conclusion.
Kinard, is your avatar not showing too? What's the reason given? It should be indicated in your User Control Panel, under Profile, edir avatar.

The reason for no avatar is given but no reason for the upload function being disabled. No big deal, initially there was turmoil but over it now..

This was an inadvertent mishap in the settings. Everything is back to normal.

Keep scoffer away from the control panel!
Sorry all. My bad. I inadvertently changed a setting yesterday. It's back to normal now.
My apologies.

I get the impression this might not be fully fixed. Apologies for that.
I'll ask Sambo to have a look at it tonight.
