yeah there must be a server issue or an upgrade going on...

edit: actually, there seem to be avatars that still appear for some members (probably online pics)

And mine works. I am guessing it's just the ones that were uploaded on the forum that don't work. Mine is off-site.

The only avatars that are working are those stored off the avast forum, all the links are there for the internal forum avatars (image1), but you get a 404 error if you try to display them (image2). External avatars aren't effected.

Notice in image1 that the URL starts off https: and this is what I believe is the cause of the problem. If I drop the 's' down to http then the link works and displays my avatar, image3.

Re-uploading doesn't work either.  Guess I'll just use the offsite version.  :)
Note:  I linked to the same picture I had previously uploaded, and the preferences weren't  saved because it was now too large.  So I cut the max dimension down to 100 pixels and that worked.

I can say that the forum has been responsive today.
Maybe not having all the images on site helps ???

It's no big deal to simple make a little change in your settings and post a link
to your avatar on one of the off site picture hosting sites.  :)

So Uploading my Avatar from Documents/"My Pictures" is obviously not working. How can I get around this??
Thanks  :-\

As has been said the only avatars working are those located off-site, not located on the avast forum server.

You have to store the image on a photo sharing site, photobucket, etc. and then paste the URL to that avatar image into your profile.
