I tried several, but other people's avatar's with links (like Tricia) don't show up either.
Just tested it with Mozilla 1.7 and that works ok, so it is something changed between 1.7 and 1.7.3, but I don't have 1.7.1 or 1.7.2 currently installed.

The source gives:
[invalid URL removed]<img src="/forum/avatar/571.jpg"

So it is there, looks ,ike a tricky one.

Any other users of recent Mozilla out there?

That is normal, it is in there on Firefox too. Just means there is an ampersand (&) there.

It's that & is HTML markup. Shouldn't be in the URL. I suspect there's some kind of translation going in when the post is made or something. I looked at the code and there's no "&" in the logic that generates the URL.

A popup blocker might prevent this from working. The upload process launches a separate status and processing task via . If that window doesn't open the file will never get saved on this end. If you don't see the popup happen then that's most likely the problem.

Never mind this newfangled tomfoolery. Bring back the Revolving Kimis.

my personal preference would be to just get rid of them.

Internet Explorer with the latest patches
Only pop up blocker I'd have is the one bundled with Internet Explorer and XP SP2.

I would see the page where you select and upload the file,
then the pop up that indicated it was uploading the file and finally the confirmation page indicating the file was uploaded but it wouldn't show the graphic. Instead it showed a broken link.

I just checked my profile and it appears someone has gone in and made the changes?

Drew, this is exactly the problem that I am having.

I was able to load an avatar when you first set up the new scheme, but since your latest change I have tried multiple times and always got the result described above.

when the broken image link comes up could you right click it and provide the file name that it thinks is supposed to be there?

Oops, testing the avatar system, I loaded up a new avatar. It worked okay.

Then tried to change it back. I got the following error message:

Upload complete.
Finishing...
Processing image...Saving image...
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'

An exception occurred: 'JpegImage'

/forum/progressbar.asp, line 214


... and now I can't load my old avatar.

I have removed the support for the old avatar system and removed any avatars that were using it.

I'm working on fixing this. It seems like the code I created gets confused with Macintosh browser clients. I'll figure it out.

I am unable to upload my avatar. I get this message:

ABCUpload4.XField.4 error '80040050'

A Windows error - The file exists. - ( hex 00000050) occurred.

/forum/process_avatar.asp, line 41

Any help would be appreciated.

I use a Mac OS 9.1

It appears that the uploader doesn't support uploads from Macs. I don't have Mac available for testing so I am unable to reproduce or diagnose the problem.
