    Could somebody please explain to me why my profile photo isn't showing up on these forums? I uploaded a photo of myself to my profile a week ago, and I can see it in my profile, but it's still not showing up in any of these posts.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Your profile pic was a *.gif which is not accepted as an avatar.

    Without your permission, I downloaded your picture, converted it and uploaded it as your avatar. I would say that it's all better now but perhaps it was better without the picture. :pound:

    Tony's the best. :)

    Tony, if you have time, can you Shepard Fairey-ize my avatar photo?

    I think I need the same. My file is a JPG and is the right size, but it doesn't show up with my messages. How do you convert a JPG to an avatar?

    You don't. It doesn't need to be converted. Make it the right size and upload it.

    Tony,
    Sorry to bother you, but I'm also having trouble with my profile picture. It's in the jpg format. How can I fix it so it will appear on my posts?

    Thanks for your help.

    Revised: I figured it out. Thanks. I just need to read carefully!
