Avatars

One more announcement for today, before I go to bed. We now have working avatars, so you can put an image of yourself (or something else of course) on your profile. I was using an external site called Gravatar for this before, but it's not been working for a couple of months now, so I've dumped it. Apologies if you went and signed up for a Gravatar account because of the Carbon Diet, but at least it works now. I look forward to seeing all your pictures :)

Hi James,

I am having difficulty uploading an Avatar...

I have tried .jpg .bmp .gif

Everytime I get error message:
"Image upload failed! Please check that you are uploading a valid image file!"

Hi Maurice - that's very odd, it should work fine. Try making the image smaller (we resize to 100x100 pixels anyway) then upload it, otherwise email me the image and I will give it a try myself.
