I wanted to change my avatar. Although it is the correct size, the system will not show it.
Help?
I think the server is a wee bit glitchy tonight. Glitchy is not what I really mean…what I want to say rhymes with glitchy.
Normally, if the avatar is of the acceptable format and file size, it should be straightforward, Ulrich. So, perhaps you will have better luck in the morning when the grownups are watching.

I accidently deleted my avatar and could not upload a replacement ( the same one I had before from the same location).

I have experienced the same problem. After following all the steps, I get a note saying I have a new avatar but…nothing.
I’ve tried several times over several weeks with no success.
Maybe the new forum format doesn’t like Macs.
Bump, still does not work nor does the help button in my profile page.
Rick
Yup, still not working. Tried a couple of times, but no result. Makes me feel “face-less”.
I have alerted Craig and Wade to this problem. They won’t get to it until perhaps late Monday at the earliest.

Thank you, Crandell!
Twitchy ???

You still have one more guess.
You guys really got me there - it took me a while to get the pun!
If I get it right, are you gonna lock the thread… ??? 
John
You know it.

I had this problem before the forum upgrades. After the changes, I had no problem at all.
I still haven’t had any serious problems with the forums, before OR after the upgrades. Just the slowness in the late evenings which has sinc ebeen fixed and I assume was an overagressive maintence plan running on the database and slowing it all down.
I’ve never had issues with logging in, it always rememebrs me - about once every 60 days or so I get the “you need to log in” message and it rememebrs me again for the next 60 days or so - which I suspect is the cookie duration. If you have problems with thigns like this, you are probably locking down your browser too much, or have some third party blockign software in place that does not whitelist this site. Simplest thing might be to add cs.trains.com to the whitelist of your web filter/malware detector software if there is some that runs real time always scanning, and maybe even add it to trusted sites in your browser’s security settings.

Bump, still not working!!![tdn]
Took a chance and changed mine and it worked, but forum doesn’t seem to like an animated gif image, so I settle for a Jpeg. [:)]
Just tried it - does not work [:(]
People in Hamburg don´t tan, they rust!
Not sure what to say about a system that doesn’t like Hamburgers…

Ulrich,
I just changed my avatar to the file you sent me. I see it, do you?
Let me know if you see it.
