Hi Red, You should be active now.

Do you have a gravatar account?

I cannot find a box to tick, just a message saying inactive??

Every user name I try, it says is already in use. So it could be a while for me to find one that hasn't been used.

Eddie I had a lot of trouble - I don't know if it made any difference but I also clicked on the bit under your email by your chosen photo that says `check this gravatar'. It then says wait five/ten minutes.

Then I went to my AB profile and it just said avatar inactive but I did Control F5 and a new line saying something like click box for avatar came up - but there was no box. Luckily Chuck had said in another thread that the box would be immediately before the C of click if it wasn't visible - so I clicked the invisible box and it worked.
