Title: Personlised Pic
Post by: Minwah on July 30, 2002, 06:50:46 am

I added a picture to my profile the other day.  I just noticed it doesn't work  :o.  Why could this be?  It is a .gif and is 65x65 pixels.  It has a long filename, is this the problem?

Thanks

OK Can someone put me out of my misery?

When I come onto this site, I can't see my pic (I can see everyone else's).  If I paste the url of my pic into IE, it comes on the screen fine.  Then if I return here, I can see the picture again.  BUT when I close IE and re-open it, and re-visit this site, I can't see my picture again.

Can anyone else see my personalised picture?

Where is your pic hosted at?
I am asking because some sites don't let you link directly to pics.  Once you go to the actual site and then comeback the pic is in your browser's cache so the browser now displays it.

Aaah I see.  My picture is at Mameworld, now you mention it I think I read somewhere else about that.

I'll try & move it to a different host.

Thanks very much

I'd bet that mameworld doesn't allow other sites to link to items on their site. The link is ok. If you paste it into the address bar it works.
