Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	I just installed an avatar, and I wanted to know whether you can see it. If you can, then I have to thank tellywellies and shadowhippie for their explanations in this forum. If it didn´t work, I will blame it on the same two guys. _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

If so, I am sure that Tellywellies and Shadowhippie mentioned are happy _________________________ The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.

No technical knowledge here except I know that it means it knows you've linked something but can't display it for some reason. _________________________ Does the brain create or receive consciousness?

Maybe the computer might have an error in it and won't work. 5. Possibly it needs to be a jpg or a gif. Maybe some others work too.

Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	It's there now Chris, seems like Harish's explaination about the site being down as the best one. Other times you would be able to see if if no one else can because it's cached on your computer.

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	If the iownjoo server really was the problem, do you have any idea how often or how long they shut it down? Do you have better experiences with other servers? _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

tellywellies Forum Champion Registered: Sat Apr 13 2002 Posts: 5473 Loc: South of England	I think most servers go off-line occasionally. It's probably for maintenance reasons, or maybe a failure has occurred for some reason or another. This being the case, it's probably best to accept it as being just one of those things. Changing to a different place probably wouldn't lessen the chances of the image disappearing once in a while. Sometimes it may not be the server itself. I suppose it could just be a router in between the site where the image is situated and FunTrivia. _________________________ Error: Keyboard not attached. Press any key to continue..
