AdamSmith Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Any idea why my avatar doesn't display on the mobile version of the site? Most other posters' avatars show up when I view the forums on the mobile version of the site, but not mine. It does display if I toggle over to Full version of the site on my phone (iPhone). BTW, management's use of forum software that offers a mobile-display default is very nice. Quick to navigate, easy to read on a small screen. Maybe worth observing (no malice! Just fact) that the Other Forum does not, far as I can tell, have this option. Making it deucedly hard for these aging eyeballs to read on a phone.

Members Lucky Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 What is pictured in your avatar? I must have tried about 20 pictures for a new avatar, each a jpeg image, only to be told each time that I cannot link to that type of image. I gave up.

Guest EXPAT Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think they have to be really small images to work (in terms of kb size wise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 What is pictured in your avatar? I must have tried about 20 pictures for a new avatar, each a jpeg image, only to be told each time that I cannot link to that type of image. I gave up. JPEG stored on a public web site, a screen grab (I assume) of a scene from '2001.' As I said, you can see it on the 'full version' of this site when viewed on either PC or cell phone, just not on the 'mobile' version of the Forum, which is the (very convenient, easy-to-read-on-cellphone) default view for my iPhone. I ask because, again, many others' avatars do show up on the mobile version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think they have to be really small images to work (in terms of kb size wise) Thanks. Likely that's it. If I get motivated, maybe I will play with downloading it and monkeying around to shrink the file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted March 17, 2012 Members Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks. Likely that's it. If I get motivated, maybe I will play with downloading it and monkeying around to shrink the file size. Just wash in hot water and dry on the cotton cycle. Guaranteed to do it.
