It would not be an exaggeration to say I have done nothing to note the approaching holiday. It is time. Let it begin!

Well, I'm into Christmas music up to my ears, so I'm prepping for the Season. I do have a Christmas avatar, but I can't remember where it is hosted. I usually post photos for web use on Flickr, but it doesn't work for avatars.

ETA: I see that the link to my Christmas avatar has just been posted by Woodman, so I'll update it now! (Thanks, Woodman!)

In case anyone is wondering--that IS a picture of me.

Well heck, I'll play.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

The problem does not lie with SIGforum software; the problem is with postimage which, like many hosting sites, will not host an avatar. SIGforum software is quite happy to use an avatar image that is hosted on any reachable internet site, but many of the free services do not like the amount of bandwidth that is generated by hosting avatar images, so they will not host avatars.

I believe that ImageShack is one site that will host avatars; that is a paid service but the first 30 days are a free trial period so you could try it there with no initial cost.

If you do not want a paid service, several of our forum members have graciously offered to host avatars: Woodman hosts some, and sigmonkey hosts some. Communicate with one of them via the email address in their profile to make arrangements.

Anybody have trouble changing their on Imgur? I set up an account there JUST FOR my avatars. I see it showing just fine on Imgur, but it won't take when I try to change it. My old one (also hosted on imgur) works just fine. . .

There are over a dozen threads on hosting avatars. Lots of good info in them that is up to date.
