Hiker02 -> Another Avatar question. (6/5/2008 10:54:54 PM)

O.k here's what's happening.

About a week ago I tried to upload a avatar and it said I successfully uploaded my picture. I checked the next day and saw that my avatar was a red "X" and I somehow lost 600 of my posts. I tried again and again it uploaded successfully with only a red "X" being the result, but didn't lose any posts. I then tried to use one of the sites avatars and again I only have a red "X".

I have uploaded two pictures successfully in the past so this isn't my first time doing it.

Any ideas about what's going wrong?

The most common mistake is to forget to click apply or ok towards the bottom of the profile page.

Good call. I can't believe I forgot to do that three times.[8D]

Still confused at why I went from 800 posts to 200 but oh well at least I got my avatar to work.

Thanks

if you were around a year ago and posted that many posts yesterday a year ago then it went down because the old threads get purged every night, and thus those posts disappear from the system. Although I would say that losing 600 posts in one day is quite a lot...lol. Either there is a glitch somewhere, or you posted a TON on that day last year!!!

If one posts a lot in one thread that is deleted, then of course all posts are gone, so it's not just one days worth of posts. I imagine I will lose a bunch when some of the PFY threads are deleted after not having been posted in for a year.

And game threads, too.

oh yeah...that's true....never thought of it that way (my brain is a little dim these days...things don't connect as easily as they once did...and as they hopefully someday soon will again...lol)

Thanks for the help everyone. [:D]

There were a few game threads I posted in quite a bit last year so I probably lost those.
