Lonny, I new at this, I clicked on link in your post and got message (not allowed to view this page) why? Also what is Avatar? Thanks Fozj
dolphins,

Your avatar is entered as ftp://i.dslr.net/alib/51/458051.2.gif
Ftp isn't supported for avatars as far as I know. Needs to be a regular http link.

Or you can upload it from your hard drive using the Browse button in My Controls, Avatar settings.
I see the red-X. Using IE. Never have figured out which setting would fix this, or should I say, never have spent the time to look for the answer. Hope someone else knows!!

I actually had this happen to me earlier today (in a different way) when trying to paste a small Excel table into an Outlook email, that uses Word. I did a paste special as a bitmap and could view it just fine, but printing the Sent email resulted in an empty box with a red-X.


EDIT: Thanks, Tom - I can see it now

dolphins - nice avatar!
Normally I block Third Party Cookies but my son must have enabled them (just checked) so that's not the problem. As I mentioned above I can see it now but the animation is not working.
