if you had an avatar in the old forum and it does NOT show up in the new forum, go to your profile ...


"Personalized Picture" will show an incorrect specified URL address such as ...
[attachment=1,msg2786966]

Type in and correct that address, just be sure to leave your avatar image filename the same ...
[attachment=2,msg2786966]

then go down to the bottom right of the page and click on ...
[attachment=3,msg2786966]

and where there was no avatar ...
[attachment=4,msg2786966]

now there is ...
[attachment=5,msg2786966]
