I noticed the same thing on Saturday, this website has always been a little picky about your avatar picture but yes now the little Arillas Addicts pictures have vanished to be replaced by a nasty red cross, I wouldn't worry to much, if its happening to more than one of us then the problem most likely rests at the Admin end and not ours, there will be some security glitch that's blocking them.

For your main picture if you resize it to thumbnail size and save it as .gif format instead of .jpeg or .bmp it tends to work better.

I can see pictures on my Laptop at home just fine because I am using Firefox, but here at work the Explorer doesn't show them at all.
Life is good ;)

The forum has been upgraded, if you look at the side of your posts you will see a little pen icon which once clicked on lets you modify them, this will account for the errors everyone is getting and I have no doubt that Internet Explorer security settings are mostly to blame, I have just tried to firefox to and everything is perfect on there. If you are confident enough check through your internet exlporer options to see if its blocking anything it shouldn't, I would think this is only a teething issue though and will fix itself in due course.

Oh yeah, ive just seen that!!  Thats a good idea, so you can add after youve posted or if you missed a spelling mistake.

Don't try then you'll probably do more harm than good :-)

If its really bothering you, download firefox from here, its a different browser but works just as well as internet explorer, people tend to be split 50/50 over which is best, I use them both and I think they are equally as good, talk about sitting on the fence with that one.

Hi, everyone,
 I have been viewing pictures this morning, I too use Firefox, and my system is Linux, not Windows.  I find I have less problems with Linux. No crashes or anything.  ( and the software is free!)

Getting more 'Corfu-sick' cant wait to sell up and be there.  the pictures are great.  Marie
