I want me Gorilla beringei beringei back!

Could you settle for being a monkey?

Alex L seems happy to be a Penguin.

It's supposed to be Tux, the Linux mascot . And Si, I deleted the non existent one. Still will only let you use ones from the galleries. If you can still do it, could be a permission based problem?

There are monkeys and monkeys:

Apologies, it appears that some avatar images were accidentally deleted in the recent Forum update work... I'll see if I can find backup copies, otherwise please feel free to re-upload your avatar, which will then appear on all your posts.

'twould appear that the avatar problem is worse than you think.

Well I had my avatar until last weekend I decided to change it...and realised that the profile editor doesn't allow uploading avatars now. Then I started seeing other avatars had gone AWOL...actually, I thought it was some of my own software going gaga.

Yes, I tried to reload mine but there doesn't appear to be an option other than choose one from the gallery

All you need to do is re-load your avatar.

Yes, but where? When I go into UCP>Edit avatar all I see is this:

Deletion doesn't do anything: it behaves as if there's a file already there, but there ain't. Am I missing something or just going wawa?

Avatar thing STILL not fixed ....... no option to upload in the Profile.

Aha, found the problem and fixed it. You can now upload avatar images again!

Apologies to those whose avatar images were accidentally deleted, there were 150 avatars that disappeared. I've changed my upgrade procedures so this won't happen again.

[robgul]

Ah - I have my jersey back on now!

Will have to get a new picture as I don't have mine anymore. Maybe I should just buy a new bike so I can get the picture off the internet

I was browsing another phpBB run forum the other day and noticed that half of the avatars on there were showing as blanks, so I assumed that it was a general software format issue. Anyway, I'm off to find another piccy.

On an entirely unrelated issue, I've noticed that some of the resident smilies appear to have undertaken a diet. You can see their chins for the first time ever . It's not natural. The smiley has always had the the perfect facial proportions of a 16 stone stand up comic. These new ones look strangely alien. I don't trust this cyberspace anymore.

Mine still looks the same to me. .

I'm sure yours wasn't a roadkill sheep before.

[meic]

My troll seems to have run away, you have history on this score, did you catch it on one of your troll hunts or did it just meet a Billy Goat Gruff?

Engineers often take pride in their artistic talent and that picture is obviously my impression of a road kill sheep as you (a man of discernment) could tell. Many others think it is some sort of rat hanging from its tail as frequented the schoolbooks of a certain teenager thirty years ago.

I'm going on an Avatar hunt, do you think I'll find one?

Sorry it took so long. He's been hiding under a bridge in a particularly dark corner of the internet.
