Wondering if anyone has tried using a older (XP, VISTA etc,) machine which still has a older non updated browser?

My desktop machine still runs XP and Firefox.  The short answer is "No, it doesn't work."

It must be something simple, but I don't why so complex. 

Perhaps try different browsers?

Hey, Look at the bright side of things though, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down" Whistling

Luckily it was finally figured out in the nick of time over here, how to post one of my favorite road trip bridge photos for my avatar.  It was only a very short time afterwords, and the function broke. 

Certainly hope it wasn't my neanderthal computer tactics that caused it to breakOops - Sign...Laugh

Cool beans. Thanks for the info. I guess I will remain a nameless yellow face.

The ability to change one's avatar has been gone for at least 4-5 years now.  As frustrating as it is, until the forum software gets a major overhual/upgrade, we just have to live with its limited & lost functions.  And you'll know if & when the upgrade happens the same moment I do...

I understand that the avatar function has been down for some years - at least since I became a participant.  And that was about 2016.

Honestly, I'm afraid to even try.  This site won't let me look at my profile anymore.  I live in Delaware, I have for 5 years, but I can't change my profile to reflect that I'm no longer in Massachusetts.

I'm glad I like my old avatar.  I can sympathize with your predicament.

Avatars?

Alright I'm feeling really slow. How on earth do you change your profile photo? Whenever I use the change avatar button it just comes up with a empty white window. Sorry guys, I'm struggling.
