Avatar Help

[Jubz]

I have set up a Gravatar account and uploaded an avatar to the account but I don't understand how to get the avatar to appear on AB.

I have been here for 15 days and have 66 posts which I understand I should now be able to have an avatar. But when I go into edit my profile there is nowhere that I can see to upload the avatar from Gravatar.

I would be grateful if someone could give me some help in this.
Thank you.

The main problems are:
- failing to set a G rating for the avatar on Gravatar
- not using the same email address on Gravatar as is used on Answerbank
- not activating the avatar on Answerbank by ticking the box on your profile

Try those

Here's a link that will help Jubz

Thanks for both your replies, I have G rated it and used the same email address.
I don't have this box on my profile to activate the avatar. It says you may connect with Gravatar in minus one days ( -1 ) and after 10 posts.
It looks like that is the problem not having this activate avatar box, maybe I should leave it for a couple of days and see if it appears after the weekend.

Thanks again factor-fiction and mazie for your help.

It might be worth logging out of AB, clearing the cache on your browser/refresh using Ctrl/F5 (I think), then logging back in.
If you still get the same message I'd wait until perhaps Monday and then email the Ed as he very occasionally has to intervene to force these through

Thanks factor-fiction, will try that and if no joy by monday will email Ed, would be nice to have one. :)

Congratulations on getting it working, Jubz!
(Nice avatar, BTW)

Thanks Buenchico, the little box to activate it suddenly appeared about an hour ago, I'm happy now, I feel a bit more at home now I have an avatar. :)

Lol, I thought your avatar was Medusa, now I realise it isn't snakes its flowers!!

Must go to Specsavers!
