Avatar won't load, everything meets the requirements, all I get is a box with a red X in it. Is there a setting to change or a time to wait to be able to upload an avatar?

Also, this is what is under my name in the avatar box:

Am I the only one who has the last 2 lines about Spambot and Daily Updates? How do I remove them?

It takes about 10 minutes for the avatar to show up on our images site once you have uploaded it. After 10 minutes, you should be able to refresh the page and see your avatar.

The extra profile fields are set to be private so only the person who owns the account and the board admins can see them. That's why you don't see it on anyone else's profile when you browse the forums. You can verify this by logging out of the board, then looking at one of your posts as a guest -- you won't see those profile fields in that case. So in reality, they're already invisible to 99.9% of members.

thanks Memphis, I removed the 2 hidden lines from my post, and I'll load an image tonight, and check on it tomorrow after work.
