Can someone please tell me why Avatar does not appear on latest postings yet it is there beside my profile and in the "Answer" space?

I think there is a waiting period after you join before it does,

You will find if you change it later on the same thing will happen and it takes a while to get to the questions.

Welcome to AB BTW.

[Arksided]

You've done everything right just the waiting I think:
From Site Rules etc...

What do I need to do in order to get an Avatar?

Firstly, you need to have posted at least 10 times on The AnswerBank and have been an active user for more than 14 days. If you don’t have 10 posts by now, why not nip into The AnswerBank and help someone out with their burnings questions? Your knowledge and opinion is what makes the site tick!

You've met the criteria so email the Ed

[Arksided]

Well you've being active 16 days so can't be that.... hmmm mystery.

[Moorea7]

Thank you both. I have posted 14 questions since joining on 25 June this year. Avatar is there just not on postings.

[ToraToraTora]

It does show if you click on moorea7's user name then all the entries have the avatar. Probably a problem with Gravatar responding quick enough.

[Moorea7]

Barry1010. I did do that while at the same time as I was asking how to log back in - that was Sunday and I only was re-instated today lunchtime.

It happens from time to time, I think when the coal runs low under the boiler that runs the system.

[Arksided]

I only was re-instated today lunchtime.

Does that mean you were 'user inactive' for a few days?
If so that'll be the reason for the delay, as above in Site Rules.

'you need to have posted at least 10 times on The AnswerBank and have been an *active user* for more than 14 days'

[Moorea7]

Arksided. I was not user-inactive. I was travelling and decided to log out of Answerbank. When I came to log back in, I couldn't exactly remember my password and I presume Answerbank office was closed
as putting in a new password and saving it did not result in my being able to log back in until today.
While on the subject of Avatars, is that you on yours or wearing a mask?

[Arksided]

Ah I see just guessing as to why it's not working.

My Avatar is from the tv series Angel (spin off of Buffy) In one particular episode Angel (A Vampire with a soul) is turned into a puppet:

[Moorea7]

A bit scary, Arksided.
Am going to delete Avatar and sign in again - if not, it doesn't matter because I like jelly babies and there are loads of them here!

[Arksided]

Indeed! :-)) funny enough added some jelly babies to my monthly shop this time, due on Thursday... I was inspired.

My avatar is the same. My profile helpfully informs me:

You may connect with Gravatar in -2998 days and after 10 more legitimate posts.

[Arksided]

Good to see I was as helpful as ever then as well.

Strang! I always thought it was a selfie of your self Arksided ;-)

[ToraToraTora]

If it helps, I am seeing your avatar on this thread, normally.

[Moorea7]

Wow! It's there!!!
Thank you Tora and, btw, all those fruit flies have gone apart from the odd one flying about - am keeping an eye on them.

[ToraToraTora]

[Arksided]
