Are you talking about the forums? We don't support avatars or attachments. They're not compatible with our webserver load balancing -- the file only gets uploaded to one server, and anyone using one of the other servers will see a broken image.

yes, forums.

I too see them from my tablet, but not from laptop/desktop PC. This a bug or feature?

It may be a skin issue.

But even when they're displayed, they don't always work. If the viewer happens to be using the same server that the person uploaded their pic to, they'll see the avatar. If they're using a different server, they see a broken image.

So when I view whereagle's profile, I see a picture. When I view helene_t's, I see a broken image icon. But in a day or two I might be sent to a different server, and then this will change.

I think there's just a mobile skin and a regular skin.

Ok. Well, as I said, avatars do show up on the mobile version. Not so in the regular version, even if that option is checked.
