Avatar Problem I have been trying to change my Avatar without any luck. It keeps on telling me, "POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed". Ok, so I thought it was from where I was getting my pic from, so I tried one of the fourm picks, but I got the same message. Please advise as to what the problem can be.
PS my pics are 60x60 in size just like it asks for, and they are in jpg form.
Thanks,
ROK

Avatar Problem My first post on this subject didn't show up, and if it did after I posted this one, then I'm sorry.

Update: I just tried to change it and it wouldn't go. My pic is 60x60 and it's a jpeg, I didn't have any trouble using the one that's there now. Plus, like I said before, the forums avatars wouldn't load for me either. I guess I'll hear back from you about the way I access the group, and maybe you'll have an answer.

Well, looks like whatever the problem is, it isn't your fault
I haven't seen the error message you saw. I was able to successfully change my avatar to one of the 'pre-defined ls1tech avatars'. I also was able to upload a .gif from my computer to use as a custom avatar, but after it was uploaded, it would only load as a 'broken' image (y'know, blank with a red x in a white box).
I think it's probably something messed up with the server's upload settings, since earlier it wasn't giving you access to upload an avatar, and now it's supposedly letting me upload an avatar but it's not actually putting up the complete file.

Okay, Brains took care of it, was just a disk space problem... as you can see since I was able to put up a working avatar again after my earlier test attempts, everything should be back to normal now

Well it might have been fixed lastnight, but it's NOT working this morning. I tried both, my pic and the forums pic, no go. Alrighty then, I guess I'm stuck with the Avatar I have, for now. Thanks for all your help guy's.
