I have noticed that at least once a day, my avatar disappears. I have to go back and upload the image again. This will be the second time today that it has done this. I have also noticed that I am not the only one. I think I saw Digital Slacker's has gone too. _________________

Maybe ur file host. I think hosts like ImageShack has like a daily bandwidth limit. I use tinypic.com and have no probs. _________________

Wes made it for me. I didn't have PhotoShop, so I don't know what he used. I moved the file to another folder and that messed it up the first time. So I just posted it again from that folder, but now it just goes whe it pleases and I have to repost it. I have it on the PSP_HQ also and it won't work on both. Either here or there. _________________

His bandwidth and host are fine, any change to your profile stands a chance you will need to reload the avatar.

I haven't changed a thing. As I said, I posted the same stuff on PSP_HQ and it lost the avatar, Never lost my sig, just the av. When I came back to this site, my av was gone again. It's no problem fixing it, it's just worrysome. _________________

Thats what im saying man when you make a change it mucks your avatar. When i try to set my avatar for pc-hq i got to come back here and reload it.

Alrghty then. That's what I figured. I'll just have to live with it. It is strange that the Sig doesn't change though. _________________

The HQ is hosting your avatar so when you make a change you need to reset the avatar.
Photo bucket hosts your sig so its not effected by profile changes.
You can have photobucket host your avatar and see if it helps.

Most likely. Also, JJ, you dont host your avatar at another website, you upload it to the server here at HQ through your profile.
I now host my avatar at my PhotoBucket account. It didn't change a thing. It still disappears when I visit another site in the HQ. So we know it's not that. _________________
