Thanks Craig.
When I lost mine I didn't hit remove avatar, but went to the default cartoon avatar tab and selected one of those.

What could be worse than calling you a faceless blob is the guilt by association, being mentioned in the same sentence as Hamltnblue. My apologies. I retract the statement. LOL

Craig Kuhlow Hey guys. I took a look at the page that allows you to update your Avatar images and discovered a small glitch in the programming. Apparently if you click the "Remove Avatar" button, the system will automatically "disable" your avatar settings all together. This meant that regardless if you tried uploading a new one, the system would still not display it because of it being in a disabled state. I went ahead and reset all avatars to be enabled again and believe that I have fixed the bug so that clicking the "Remove Avatar" button will just remove the image while leaving your avatar settings enabled. I'll be monitoring this thread so if anyone continues to have problems please just reply to this thread and I'll investigate. Thanks guys.

In the interest of testing the fix, I just removed my avatar and successfully reloaded it, Thanks for the fix.

Yay!
My avatar finally took hold.

Craig,
that seemed to be the cause:
Thanks to you folks at Kalmbach for listening to us and helping us.
Best wishes for the season!

Sir Madog As suggested in one of the earlier posts, I wrote an email to the customer service people at Kalmbach, asking them to reset my public profile - as you can see, it worked!

I did the same thing and I now have my Avatar back!
Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
richhotrain Sir Madog: Rich - I have created this avatar myself from a drawing of a loco I made using RTS! Sir Madog, Very nice job on drawing that avatar yourself. Very creative!

Sir Madog,

Should you just be a little curious - this drawing is the basis for the avatar - done in RTS.

By the way, I see that Vernon/IN was able to restore his avatar as well. Congrats.
I just see a faceless blob.
Oh, wait a minute, that's a steam engine and tender.
Congratulations!
Good things come to those who wait.
Espee Black Widow Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me if there is an avatar above my username? It should be an SP herald. I have "uploaded" it about a dozen times and get the notification that I have a new avatar but I see nothing! My original issue was not being able to see any of the avatars, which is still an issue as well as not being able to post one. Thanks. Pat

I don't know if you're still curious, but you are a faceless blob no longer.
Bump
Sir Madog Seems, as if we have disabled the avatar function permanently by deleting the avatars we had uploaded. As there is no function to enable it again, the MR IT guys have to fix it.

Ulrich,
From everything that I am reading on this thread, I have concluded that you are exactly right.
Until the MR IT guys tell us differently, a word to the wise. Don't try to change your avatar!
Take a look at my Avatar. You only need to be as handsome and debonair as moi, and you would never be filtered out.
That's Mr. Grinch to you.

Thanks Jeffrey.

Like I said I didn't remove or delete the existing avatar. I clicked on the tab for select avatar and picked one of the cartoon ones. My original disappeared, no cartoon one showed and I'm faceless.
Let me add some more info to the mystery.
When I had an avatar, there was a tab to remove it. That is the tab I used to delete my avatar. Once I deleted it, the "Remove Avatar" tab was no longer displayed. Maybe because at that point I didn't have an avatar to remove. But after that I also couldn't reload my avatar either.
As for the close "X" in the corner of the window, I have noticed that if you go to Change Avatar straight from the column on the righthand side of the screen, the "X" is not there. If you go to Change Avatar from Public Profile (edit) and then select Change Avatar, the window will display the close "X" in the corner. Not sure why this is but this is what I have observed.
Does anyone know if MR IT Dept. is working on the issue? I sent an email to them a few days ago but haven't heard anything back yet.
Guess I'm with the guys with the White Hats. as I've both the Avatar and the Remove Avatar option.
I'm not going to delete my avatar to find out if it comes back or not. That may be whats wrong in MR software after all, you delete and your gone.
Heck I don't know, but it sure is crazy.
EDIT: Just happen to think that each time before I changed Avatars I did not click on "Remove Avatar" as I just clicked on Browse, clicked on My Pictures and clicked on a jpeg pic and "Viola" the MR Avatar was concieved.
Remember I said I did NOT click on "Remove Avatar". That may be the Varmit??
Wadda ya mean I'm old ? Just because I remember gasoline at 9 cents a gallon and those big coal burning steamers.
Same at this end of the Big Pond - no delete option.
jeffrey-wimberly Vernon/IN: I never deleted any of the avatars I used. I never saw an option to delete an avatar. There's an option for 'Remove Avatar'.

There's an option for 'Remove Avatar'.
Here is a screen shot of what I get when I try to change my avatar.
Mine has the 'Remove Avatar' just to the right of the 'Use Uploaded Image'.
Here's what mine looks like:
