Is it me or have all the Avatars gone missing since the new Forum was posted ?
The only one that is displayed on either of my PCs are from Les. I haven't tried it
on iPhone because the screen is too small to read.  Julian

Interesting, all I see is a little black cross where the image should be. Looking at my settings the path to the avatar was blank so have uploaded the picture again and it is now displaying my picture but nobody else's. This is not a problem but more of an observation, thanks for your input guys.

Hi Paul,  Yes I have done that and reset the personal settings in the browser. It's interesting that the problem exists on both PC and laptop in IE11 & MS Edge but when switching to chrome on both machines all is fine. As said it's not a problem but I will have to do a bit of work as not an issue on any other forum. See you perhaps at Yandles  --  Julian

It's the little picture of you that is on the left of the post under your name that may or may not appear as a little black cross. Steve - have you got one ? there is no little cross under your name !

What's the POINT of an avatar?

It seems to me that they increase the size of the page so slow downloading.

Maybe by only a little - but I'd  rather see the page as quickly as possible
