Can you see my avatar?

[bismarck]

Ok, so I’ve pm’ed for help with little success and I’ve searched for a related topic, but found none.

It’s been more than a year since I could last see my avatar. In that time I’ve bought a new pc…still no luck. Can you see my avatar? Why can I not see my avatar??? It’s like changing your clothes to suit your mood. If I can’t see my avatar, what’s the point? It feels like I’m naked in cyberspace…

So please, help me out.
Can you see my avatar?
Why can I see some avatars, but not others?
Is there something I can do to make my avatar visible? Some setting? Some magical charm?

All helpful comments welcome.

Cheers,
(virtually naked) Bismarck.

PS - I also can’t see my signature. The stuff about the Springboks etc… What’s up with that?

[maoman]

If you’ve pressed it it will say “SEESIG” instead. This button is next to the quote button on the top right of posts.

Looked at the appropriate area.

Clicked “SEESIG”.

And… (drum rolllllllllll…)

Voila!!!

To all you guys, and most especially BIG Fluffy Matthew. Thanks!!!

If I ever make it up north to a Happy Hour, one round’s on me!!!

Mine is mere bum-fluff, whereas Bismarck’s bearded man is the mark of a real man, cold baths in the morning, Gin and Tonics on the veranda and taking absolutely no shit from the natives what what.

Interesting that you should say that.
It’s General Koos De La Rey, one of the boer generals who put some real hurt on the British Army during the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902.

I saw so many other folks were using bearded famous folk from the days of yore, so I decided to give Gen. Koos some avatar time.

i found the Napoleon analogy to be pretty good,
both because of his size and boldness!
