Lovely, care to use a format most browsers recognise?

I forgot the thread title for a moment...

Of course, there is nothing to indicate that Jamez would remove his avatar in the near future. So it was, and is there, for you to see in page 1, Nini.

... Um, didn't you save it for posterity in a small time format usually reserved for clipart on the basis Jamez would remove it?

No, I simply went back and did it again in JPEG. It had accidentally saved as EMF the first time because of something I had been doing earlier. I hadn't noticed the change, as it's not crucial to my well being.

I'm not sure where you think I am slipping, but as long as it's not downhill towards you Nini, I don't mind.

Well, I certainly can't say I'm disappointed.

Well done Nick, yes with the next site update (in about a week or so) all avatars must be converted to 16:9 and be 150px wide. (Specifically, 150x84px).
