I do not know, but I will try to investigate. At least until a *real* computer person comes.

Hmm...when I look, it seems to be working for me...it is showing up by your name and in your profile...
(note, it is the little magnetic words, right?)
Odd. Let me know if it is still giving you problems.

Juding by twinkletears thread, the avatar filespace has probably gone down. This is something deb or mark will need to sort out.
Act in such a way as to make yourself feel capable and effective

The change starts now.

If in doubt, don't

oh look.
A real computer person!

It may take a bit for Deb or Mark to have time to do this...but we will make sure they know there is a problem to be looked at, ok?

i think something went boom the last time someone modified the folder. if it's saying that it can't be accessed, it probably went boom somehow, or the place it's resting on is poofing every so often.

i don't have privileges to look at it, nor do i have time to even if i did right now - but i think that's what's going on.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

haven't heard anything yet from either...
while I know this is aggravating (especially if you found a really cool avatar you want to use), there really isn't anything we can do right now but keep waiting.
Wish I had a better update, but...that's it.

NOW I have an update!
One of the admins is in touch with Mark about the problem. Don't know how long it will take for him to find what is wrong and fix it, but...the process has started.
