Title: Avatar Question


Phelan - November 17, 2004 03:57 AM (GMT)
Okay, I've tried uploading an image from my computer and I've tried posting on a webpage and doing things that way but I've run into the same problem either way.

Whenever I try to put an avatar up I get a blank space where the avatar is supposed to be. It says that it's there and itt shows the space that it should occupy but no image at all.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Eh, I was going to try and change your avatar, but apparantly you can only remove it as a mod on invisionfree. You could change them on proboards.. *sulk*
The only thing I can think of, is to check the file type and size. It can't be over a certain number of pixels, and just try .jpg.
Apart from that.. Get an admin to see if you even have one up, and they can change it from there, if worst comes to worst.

What web server are you hosting the image on? If it is a free host, most likeily the problem is .htaccess, which wont allow off off linking: stealing other people's bandwith,(similar to what you folks do with photobucket, but they let yah)

The reason the space for the image is there is because the HTML states that theres an image of size X that should be there, if the browser gets a problem, it will just show an outline.

Take this for example:
user posted image

The image is hosted on anzwers, if you haven't visited the page, you probably wont see anything. Now goto the main LU page, then come back here and refresh. The image should appear.
