Avatars have just been added - ain't I cute?
No description of where to find the new feature - each person as they figure it out should post a message to this thread, but don't give it away!
Feature is potentially buggy - please append problems, suggestions, comments to this thread.

The hardest thing about it is choosing an image.

If I've got it right I should have an avatar.

Let me guess - you're using Netscape?
[Added by edit. --Admin]
Netscape *almost* works. It should record the avatar, but it will get the scale factors wrong the first time. Repeat the procedure again and the scale factors become correct.
But you're not using Netscape, and your problem is different, anyway - you're seeing no avatar at all. Checking your profile in the database...there's no entry for avatars in your profile, yet all the information for your avatar was properly uploaded and stored away (you *are* the mad scientist!). Can't guess what the problem is - I've manually updated your profile, we'll see if that works.

Nope, IE6. The avatar keeps vanishing. I put it there, came here, posted and there was nothing. Went back, and it was where it should be where I added it (trying to be cryptic so as not to give the game away re: how to do it) ... so thought "maybe it takes a while to work through the software and be updated on page" (other boards running UBB do that if you, say, change a sig) ... tried again, and still nothing. But now when I go back to where I uploaded avatar it says I don't have one.
It's not really important. I'm not a regular contributer here, and was just a bit bored waiting to goto church, having got up too early.

Hi, Dr. Cresswell!
It's not really important.
Oh, come now! First people start losing confidence in EvC Forum, then in the Internet, then in western civilization, and the next thing you know we've got a full scale catastrophe on our hands.
The code looks okay. Is it possible that you perhaps clicked on "Submit Modifications" instead of "Update Avatar"? It *was* early in the morning, after all! [No, strike that, your avatar info *was* uploaded, so you must have hit the right button. --Admin]
[Added by edit. --Admin]
Loved your endorsement, by the way:
I'm not a regular contributer here, and was just a bit bored waiting to goto church, having got up too early.
That'll be our motto - EvC Forum, better than being bored!

Hey! it works ... looks a bit pixellated ... the other place I use it it's much smaller. Do I dare risk finding a larger version and use that?
Alan
PS: my being bored is not in any way related to this forum ... I just don't have time to follow many discussions here, and no one had commented on the 14C topic I was following since last night. I must resist the temptation to make the awful pun about this being a board for the bored .... oh piddle, there I've failed to resist.

Ok, I give up, I've tried to "url" the original site, & downloading & url-ing my PC. Both times the avatar is displayed in my personal profile, but even after updating (update avatar button) the thing never appears afterwards. When I return to the profile, it's gone.

Hi Mark!
I fixed it, should be alright now, but I'm still trying to figure out why it didn't work for you. Just as for Dr. Cresswell, it uploaded your image properly, but your profile was not updated to indicate that you have an avatar. Very strange.
