Cuppa-Tea Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I am going to load a new avatar. Please tell me what you see! Edited to add: I STILL see the lightkeeper's house! ARRRGGGHHH!!!! (not that I dislike it, though, I think it's cute.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I see a tea pot :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa-Tea Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Okay, this is really wierd. I deleted all the files in the "cookies" folder on my computer, rebooted, and then I deleted everything in my "temporary Internet files" folder as well. Then I came here, and because I delete the cookies, it treated me as a Guest. I STILL see the lightkeepers house. Doo-doo doo-doo, doo-doo doo-doo.

havanaholly Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 At Tracy's suggestion I always delete cookies before trying to post pictures and I always have to log back in first. As I mentioned on the other topic, I now see a teapot. As I also mentioned, whatever I post here for an avatar seems to show up also on other IPB boards (like DHM), even though I don't change it there.

Cuppa-Tea Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Okay, I did load a sunflower teapot picture. But I don't see it. I still see the house. I even deleted the lightkeeper's house pic from my photos on my PC, and I still see it! Something somewhere on my machine is still pointing to that picture when viewing this site. I tried changing my avatar on another website, and had no problem. So I'm not sure what is going on! Edited to add: I found a "turbo cache" in the settings for my ISP, and clicked "Empty Cache" and rebooted my PC and the problem still hasn't gone away. I still see that darn little red house! Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I see the teapot :lol: . I had a similar thing happen to me a while ago and everyone thought I was hallucinating. I ended up logging completely off of the internet and rebooting my computer. That fixed the problem for me which was a good thing because Linda and Tracy were about to send those men in the white coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I can see your beautiful teapot too!!! Very strange... Maybe your computer has a crush on your little red house... That's why he doesn't allow you to change your avatar. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I see a teapot with sunflowers :lol: Maybe it's ME <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi Christine, I am also seeing the teapot. But were you aware that there is a place on the first page of this program that says "Delete cookies set by this board", you might want to try clicking on that. Hope that helps.

Mini Man Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi Christine! Try pushing down your control key (Ctrl) and the F5 key at the same time. That will force the page to refresh. I noticed that some of you have mentioned that your picture looks distorted. This might be happening when the forum software scales your image to the appropriate size for the Avatar. The maximum size for Avatars is 100 x 100 pixels. If you are having problems with distortion, I would recommend that you edit your image not to exceed these dimensions prior to uploading them. This post has a step by step for changing you Avatars. I'm sorry that the forum is acting goofy. I will continue to work on the problem. Thanks for your understanding!

Cuppa-Tea Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Nope, neither the "delete cookies" nor the "Ctrl-F5" worked. I think there must be some setting somewhere in Windows XP that is doing this. When I go into "My Controls" and then load a new avatar, I select the photo that I want and then it loads (I see the little green bars on the bottom of the window while it's loading). Then the page refreshes and lo! the old picture is there instead of the pic I wanted. I did try selecting an avatar from the base gallery, and that seemed to work just fine. But, it's not worth wasting as much time as I have today, and I don't want you to think I'm really upset about it, Dean, because I'm not. It's just an avatar, after all! I'm just puzzled. I'll put the Sugarplum photo back for the rest of you to look at, so that at least my avatar is a Greenleaf house! The teapot was a new photo I took this afternoon, that I just wanted to use for a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'm seeing a house with a purple roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'm seeing the house with the purple roof too now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa-Tea Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 A house with a purple roof? Hmmm... the Sugarplum, you mean, right? A tudor with dark trim and a pointed door? I guess the roof looks kind of purple in that photo, though it's actually red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa-Tea Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Now I see it too!!! That is so wierd. First it was the red house, then suddenly - Blink! Up pops the Sugarplum!!! Hooray!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa-Tea Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just curious... I tried changing my avatar earilier this week to a photo of my amaryllis, which has a spectacular red, white and green flower right now. I can't see it. Can you?

Cuppa-Tea Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well, it took about a week for my to see my previous avatar, so I'm hoping if I just wait I'll see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
