Sorry kiwibuddy, I can see everyone's avatars just fine :eggsad
In Avatar news: I've just added a new section to the sites Avatars: "Holidays." Of course with Easter right upon us, it has a few in there for you to use if you wish. I will be adding more for other holidays soon.
If you don't know how to view these new avatars, Go to "Profile" at the top of the page, then under Modify Profile on the left hand side should be a link that says "Forum Profile Information." To select a site avatar, simply select the bubble next to "Personalized Picture" and select a category and then browse through the pictures available. If you find one you like, scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the "Change Profile" button at the bottom right of the page. If you were just looking, don't hit that and continue to browse the forums as usual; your avatar will only change if you hit Change Profile!!
