1.4 Avatar Upload Troubleshooting·Uploading your avatar
·I've uploaded my Avatar, how come it still doesn't show?
·I try to go to the Avatar upload page, but I get sent to the FAQs, why?
·I'm using the Opera browser and my avatar won't upload correctly
| | | Once you have found an avatar you like resized by the helpers or modified to your liking, then right click and and choose to save it. Save it to your desktop for easy finding.
Next, go to the Avatar page and click Browse..., select your avatar, and then click on Upload!.
Your avatar will have to be approved by a moderator before you can use it; you will get a system message saying whether it was approved or not. When it gets approved, it will take about 5 - 20 minutes until all the servers update and show your avatar.

Depending on how many moderators are online at any given time, it may take a while for your avatar to be approved. The majority are approved within an hour of uploading, usually much faster. Once approved, avatars are mirrored or uploaded to other Broadband Reports servers.
Sometimes it may be necessary to clear or flush your browser's cache to see the new avatar. Your browser's cache can contain copies of web pages, so you may be viewing that old copy of the page and the avatar. One option to force a reload of the web page is to perform a "Shift+Refresh" - hold down the SHIFT key and click on the REFRESH or RELOAD button on your browser's screen. If you use Internet Explorer, you can also perform a "CTRL+F5" - hold down the CTRL key and push the F5 button.
From now on when avatars are approved or denied, you will get an instant message from 'system'. So no more wondering.
Nonetheless, please allow plenty of time for the avatar files to be mirrored or uploaded to the other Broadband Reports servers before asking where your avatar is.
