Strange think something is up, as getting red X. Would say link not pulling through correctly. Cant imagine anyone would take it off.


Well not without explaintion.

i really cant imagine it would have been removed as it was simply a union flag with no slogans or writing.
i will be more than offended if it has been removed.

Maybe someone from Northern Ireland, as that's in the UK, but not part of Great Britain

if need be i will indeed appologies although i did ask politely and not in an abusive ranting manner.
its still not showing for me but it shows in my avatars on other sites im on so surely it cant be the image hosting provider?
i was born north of the border but lived some of my childhood years down south and more than half of my relatives are english and still living there thats why i consider myself british and fly the union flag rather then the st george or st andrews cross.

that is the URL for your avatar, and it's not working. Try uploading to another image hosting place...

You are 100% wrong as its not been moved at all. If it was you WOULD NOT HAVE THE CROSS* and if you press control and F5 on your other sites you will probbaly find it doesnt show there either. Its simply cached on your hard disk.

The annoying thing is, how many people have to tell you its your own fault before you give up blaming others and just do something about it? Bill just posted it as a clickable link and TOLD you whats wrong and you still want to blame the webteam...

*= Never wondered why nobody else who has no siggy has the same cross you can see? Its because the cross signifies a broken link

The avatar box doesnt show you a link once uploaded, it shows the image instead...

Me, Bill and everyone else on here could see a broken image placecard showin your avatar clearly hosted at:
http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/418/imagesjr4.jpg

Which doesnt work, and now its been changed to:
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8622/imagesja1.jpg

Which does.. presumably by you? Oh well...

the one i changed it to is exactly the same as what was on here. i uploaded the same pic again from the same site . i had the avatar on another site and that still worked perfectly as always.
it doesnt matter now as its fixed. my o/p was not a rant but merely a question too establish if it had been removed. if it had been removed there would have been no point in me fixing it just to have it removed again.

I fail to see how it can still work on other sites as the link as you can see, is broken now, hence the reason i suggested the Ctrl F5 but its fixed here now so all is well.
