Sorry!

First (maybe you have seen it), the email notifications didn't work anymore. So the forum (phpBB) script have to be updated. Now the notifications work again, but the avatars have got lost. I checked mine, but they really have gone. So I uploaded mine again. Cant remember the requirements of the old script, but now they are max. 12 KB; mix. 20 x 20, max. 150 x 150 pixels; jpg, gif or png.
Please upload yours again, if you want ;)
Thanks!

Thanks Mario,

But it looks like it's still not working as I can't see yours.
By the way, I've deleted mine as having an avatar was more like a gadget rather than useful.

Well, I can't see any avatar, yours as well as his.
Tried on many devices,IE, Mozilla firefox and Google chrome but can't see.

Well, now I'm tempted to upload a new one, this one,

... but only if the forum can promise to protect me from drones looking for guys like that...

I tried to upload my old "avatar", the very same picture/file as before, but now it got refused as
"too big" or whatever... Have the rules changed in meantime, or there's some stupid bug around?
Not that it's terribly important, we can all survive without that, but I'd just like to know what's
going on.
I tried with an even smaller picture/file, but it was plainly rejected just as the original one.

Bero, no idea :(
I have changed nothing!
But there have been some updates in php by the host.
And now we have problems in corresponding between the interpreter (php) and the forum script.
If there will be no other problems with the forum, I think, its best to run it without visible avatars.

An alternative would be to update the forum to the newest script, but this could be quite dangerous to all old postings :(

OK, we'll certainly manage surviving without the (rather childish) things like "avatars"... Not risking
crashing the forum is certainly much, much more important, of course it is. BTW, f..k the modern
technology.

Michal, all of us get the same reply from the f..king "advanced technology".
Just give it up, at least for the time being. I have.
