Umm, what's an avatar?

John,

It's the name of your on-line persona image, e.g. the little photo of yourself or something, that you chose to represent yourself.

Have you given up trying to escape Bryan ?

Cos you haven't done one. You need to choose a picture as an avatar in your profile settings

You may need to reload it John, mine didn't show till I put it up again.  Julian

[Graham]

You certainly used to have one John, a pic of you standing by your lathe if I remember correctly.

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

Since nobody has responded to, or commented on, this post, should  I  deduce that Avatars are totally pointless?

Just responding MCB, not sure if they are pointless or not.

...it's a good job that scientists developing new cancer cures don't work to the same set of research criteria....i.e., I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary, so I must be right!

Maybe people just didn't see the point of getting involved in that discussion.

The file size for a minute avatar image is so small you wouldn't notice page loading speed on anything but the slowest internet connection.

In answer to your question on what's the point of an avatar, consider why everyone registers with a name instead of a number.

I may look into putting an avatar on my profile page.

[julcle]

What was your solution Eric ?

[Paul Hannaby]

I have made a couple more tweaks so hopefully avatars and images should be showing correctly in all common browsers.
