Yeah, after spending over an hour searching for the perfect avvie, I decided to go with one from Death Note. Now, for some reason, I cannot see it when I post. Can anyone else see it? I can think of no reason a mod would have had for deleting it, it was not offensive in any way. It was merely a line from in Death Note, which read "L do you know Gods of Death only eat apples?". I am currently mildly obsessed with this show, I found it on the internet, it is the only TV show I have watched in over a year. I spent a long time looking for that avvie, and I would like to have it back, if it was deleted for some reason. If you are the person who deleted it, could you please explain why?

Avatar?

Maybe the image was too large so it got removed.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

The size was fine, I am pretty sure it was a 100 by 100 avvie. Do I need to go look for it all over again, then?

There is nothing there at all for me, not even the red x in a white box that means a broken picture.

Honestly I have no idea. I haven't had any problem viewing any avatars recently, to my knowledge.

Hmm... scratch that. I usually use Opera. I just viewed this thread with IE and Riddick124's avatar shows as a red x. Firefox shows nothing at all in that space.

Indeed, I could not.
It would appear that something is awry with the image, so far as it being accessible in the avatar directory.
Someone's cache is askew.
I'd be interested to know how you captured the copy that you managed to upload. I suspect that your copy came from somewher cached, probably on your own machine.
I'm pretty sure I had never seen the image, so when I came here to this thread, I had no cached copy. WP (or cachefly) failed to supply it.
Now you've supplied it, the new file name is fine.
Yes... it's perfectly visible now.
Glitch.
