    Is it tennis related?


    I ask because I can see it on my login but it never appears on my posts. Just curious how they work.

    Depends....

    You have an avatar set as seen in your profile page
    MSE-avatar-Mi-E.jpg

    However, with the latest and greatest, all singing, all dancing forum skin, avatars are no longer shown on the forum threads (replaced by standard, default ones)

    MSE-avatar-1.jpg

    Anyone still using the old, out of date, unsupported green forum skin can still see user's avatars (where set) on the forum threads

    MSE-avatar-2.jpg

    Note, however, users can decide for themselves in their user account options whether or not to display avatars (and/or signatures, images)

    Of course, anyone who has opted not to display images will not see the hopefully helpful images included within this post

    Ah ha! Thank you! I could not understand why an avatar appeared on my profile page but not on my posts. Now I understand.
