Not sure if this is related to the post about being blocked by Cloudfare, but my avatar seems to have disappeared.  Everywhere there should be a little pic, it just says Metr0Land in text.

 

Aah!

 

I was doing some server maintenance yesterday and found a few small files in a folder which didn't make sense which dates back to about 2008; there weren't many in there and I didn't recognise any so I, erm, filed* them. I've just looked at your avatar filename and now it makes sense,.

 

Many apologies; could you try to upload a new file please?

 

* The same place as Mrs Y files my stuff - never to be seen again.

Is there a sticky saying what size it needs to be, and where to load it?  It's a long time since I changed it and will need to do a new one.

 

Edit: finally cracked it

something to do with old server versions?

 

Almost the opposite, I realise now that they were some of the avatars ported over from the previous phpBB software - with a naming convention that was different from what they were (and are now) in a directory which was a parent of other (recognisable) subdirectories.

I'm afraid mines gone awol too; how do I get it back?

 

Sorry; it's not often I cock up like this. I just deleted the files as strays I'm afraid so it's a case of uploading afresh.

 

Click on your name at the top right and it'll open up your profile. The avatar should appear at the left of the header bar but won't be there of course so there should be an icon to upload a pic.

Just noticed that mine has gone - it was there on (at least) 28th December.

I might just stay with a 'Z'.

 

I have reason to suspect yours was abandoned on a rather rainy planet...

It might be that it disappeared when I added a signature - looking at my profile, there doesn't seem to be a way to add anything except a signature. But if I add the avatar to that it ought to appear in the signature ? Will try that.

 

Indeed, it appeared in the signature, which is less than useful

Tested, test proved unuseful.
