Avatar problem

[Jesus]

Doooh, when I was trying to change my avatar some moons ago, I carelessly selected the "don't show an avatar" button.
Now I can NOT deselect it, even when asking for "reset", and so far I'm unable to add an avatar.
What should I do? Doooohhh

[Avalon]

it didn't go away even when you pressed the use custom avatar button and entered the picture info?

Thanks Avalon, Tommy, but it didn't work, I tried to reset the fields, I changed the Show Avatar box (off, on, off, on) and I can't get the Avatar control button to reset. I hope James can do something about it.

I'm in the same boat as you Jesus. Can't unclick that button no matter what.
James is aware of it and I'm sure he'll figure something out for us eventually. Until then, we're doomed to be avatarless!
