Dear Wondering.
Not really. My IE6 works well with the the new software. I just checked it. Again it is something with your computer. The laptop I am using is two years old, so back to the mystery. It has to be a setting somewhere in your computer display or preferences with the IE program. My guess here, is something on your advanced options is either checked or unchecked. I will not even venture to speculate what at this point. BTW, I never upgraded on this laptop from IE6 to 7. I did though on my desktop (which is now only 1 year old) a while back and still do not have the problem. I keep IE on both because Microsoft will not allow updates to be downloaded from their website without the program. So back to mystery.

Must be something wrong with IE7 and the new upgrade. I can tell you exactly what is wrong with IE7 (and IE6) - it is a Micro$oft product!  What should one use instead of IE7? Well...

I just noticed this evening that Microsoft has an update already for IE7. It may or may not be a help for you.
I did not install it because I am quite satisfied with FireFox and could not see any reason install an update to a program that I will not be using.

My avatar disappeared, and I no longer have an option to restore it. Teething pains most likely.

Ha!
Alexandr, yours is the only avatar I can see properly in IE6. It looks perfect to me. Gordo's is squished. Everyone else has a line.
Back to Firefox.

Deacon El,
Go into "my Stuff", then my profile, on the top of the bar and you can then change your avatar to one in the gallery. Outside avatars are no longer being supported or allowed on the forum.
I hope this helps.

I couldn't get anyone's avatar to show up as well as my own; but after seeing some here got it with the Foxfire browser I switched to my other browser...OPERA...and it works fine now.
Thanks.

OK, after checking through several different browsers on both the Windows and Apple OS X, I have some good news and some bad news. The clue to the resolution, was the fact when other browsers were used, the issue was not apparent. The good news is that on Windows XP, the Firefox and Internet Explorer 6 browsers have everything show up especially the avatars. The same can be said on Apple OS X on Safari. Firefox, and Camino browsers.
Now for the bad news. Internet Explorer 7 (final version, not the Beta 2 version) is the apparent issue here. I have checked some other places, and have worked on settings from both my computers' end and with our settings here. I noticed it when the update was automatically installed for the final version. If you can, please use for the time being any of the above browsers other than IE7. If it does not bother you that you do not see any avatars or images, be my guest and work with IE7.
I hope this is of some help to those that are experiencing some difficulties.

I had problems with IE6, and I think one other person did as well. Firefox fixed everything for me.
(Down with microsoft!) :p

Dear Wondering,
I think the ones that had problems with IE6 were just two posters. Almost everyone that has IE7 is having this issue. So I must agree with you, as Microsoft tries to make their browser more like Firefox, maybe they should really figure out why Firefox has become the popular browser in the past year or so.
Oh and when I can, and that is not always, I refuse to use Microsoft products. With some of their products, I have used them and the different versions that followed for almost 14 plus years. Though I have to say with their new product version line for January coming, i.e. VISTA and Office 2007, I am going to take a wait and see attitude towards the releases. Too many things that I have read from the Beta test results, that have me holding back for at least a year on acquiring either product.

Love that signature line of yours!
