Anyone else's avatar disappear? tried to upload it again and all I get is a white box....

I guess I'm the only one who cant upload my custom avatar.[:@]

I have tried to do a custom Avatar for some time with no success. Maybe some one could help me.[sm=surprised.gif]

I uploaded mine a while back I got on here a couple or three nights ago it was gone... tried to upload it again and when I click on the upload custom avatar it pops up the box but the box is empty..

In settings where you can up-load the avatar it has a size limit in the box that pops up,

(85 X 85) Max. 7.5KB;
jpg/gif are supported

If the box is blank (white letters) Hold down the left mouse key and drag accross to highlight, should be able to read what it says.

If You can't resize the pic small enough up-load it here and I will try to resize it for you, If I can?

The auto re-size works in the forums, but not for avatar's

It would be nice to know how to resize it myself in case I want to change in the future.

There was a thread in clubhouse on avatars and resizing that had good info, but I use irfanview dot com to do mine. Supports most types and has other benefits, its free no time limits and no spy-junk and its a small program.

Edit' Clubhouse thread was (How do I convert bmp- jpg) but search for resize image and it should turn up some tips.

Thanks, I will give it a try tonight.

Hi Boots! Can you dig my Avatar? I was able to just hit resize in the toolbar of the pics viewer and then I uploaded it. Thank you[sm=tongue.gif]

ToolBar?? Irfanview?

WORNBOOTS.... Tried the above like you suggested and nothing.... the box pops up for you to select the file you want to upload but the box is just plane white. I tried to highlight it like you said didn't work theres just nothing there does anyone know if they have disabled it or something?.

I just tried it again and I took a screenshot of the box and what its supposed to look like, does it have any of the text around the box at all?

If its just a plain white box it could be a corrupted cookie issue, or something in the cache. I think'

WORNBOOTS.... The box that pops up when I try to upload my custom avatar looks just like the pic. you attached except the box has nothing in it.. The only writing is the writing at the top and it is different than what yours says(rc universe discussion - microsoft internet explorer provide...) here is what nine says at the top of the box. (http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/uplo...ile=-microsoft internet explorer)

Sorry You are having so much trouble,

I don't know what is best in that case to tell You, But what I would do is first see if another stock avatar will load. If it does than it may correct itself if its a bad code that got cached, if not I would clear cookies and temp files from within browser settings.

Other than that I really don't know what to suggest, and hopefully RCAdmin will see this and avise you better.

Thanks for trying to help WORNBOOTS.... The only avatars I can get to load are the ones RCU offers. I have checked my internet settings I have cleared all cookies and temp files I even restored my computer (Win XP) to a day I know it was working and I still have not had any luck with it.

No problem'

I sent a pm to Michael and asked him to look this over, so I hope You get it resolved ok.

Thanks WORNBOOTS....
