The board has been upgraded.. you can now add avatars to your profiles.. as well as perform searches through ALL forums.. etc..

Let me know if there are any noticeable problems.

Ok, I'll try mine. Maybe a little adjustment is necessary.

Find any .gif or .jpg, size it to around 100 pixels or less, upload it to the net, and insert the link in the appropriate field in your profile.

JR,

I just wanted to be sure my computer was handling this Avatar thing correctly. I see all of the Avatars that have been displayed so far in my Windows/Temporary Internet Files directory on my PC. Is that the way it is supposed to work? If so, should be be concerned about viruses being attached to these files? I have the security settings pretty high on my PC - it prompts me about any 'cookies' but these came right on through.

I guess the plus side of having the Avatars on the local hard drive is that if you see one you like - you already have it to use. [Smile]

Thanks,

Those avatars were not "downloaded" persay to your machine from us.. but when you viewed the page with the list of Avatars.. they would have certainly stayed in your images directory unless you force a refresh of all files everytime you run the site.. you should have no worries regarding virus stuff there.. since their just images being cached on your machine.

J.R.
