It's that time of the month...avatar upload day!

Does anyone actually have this option available to them? The webmaster was able to restore my icon and manually upload it to my profile, however, it does not appear in the list of available icons so each time I update my signature I get the dreaded blurry penny. Also, the option to upload a new avatar is gone. Just wondering if there is anyone who still does have this option. I'm curious if it's a universal issue or just me and tsalems.

    I remember back in the day we had to wait for a specific, single day of the month to change our avatar. Only on that day could you change it, and that was after trudging through 8 inches of snow... uphill, both ways and submitting it to the mods. None of this "change it on a whim" crap like all the kids are doing these days!

    If you have a Mac and are using Safari:

    Select the "Develop" menu option
    Select "User Agent"
    Select "IE 10"

    you will now have the option to upload. I posted this before

    Have you tried this recently? I'm only asking because I have tried in IE10 on two different PCs and on Chrome in two different PCs and on my Android mobile device to no avail.

    When I was conversing with the Webmaster, he mentioned that there is a known problem with Apple devices on the site. I don't use an Apple device, however.

    The upload option in gone plain and simple. I'm no tech nerd but I don't think it matters what computer or system you're using if it's not there. It's a problem with the site.

    I heard back from the webmaster and it's officially changed back to once a month on the 15th for avatar uploads. Time to get rid of the blurry penny...

    So my suspicions were correct. Did he say why they went back to that?

    Negative, he did not give a reason for making the change back.

    I wasn't actually planning to change mine. I just wanted to update my signature line and then it removed my already uploaded image, and by removed I mean it was no longer available from the drop-down list. So that means if I update my signature, blurry penny or pick another default icon. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if it keeps my icon in the list going forward so that I can change my signature more than once a month.

    I have tried for quite some time to update mine but everytime I do the picture is to large.

    A few moments ago I emailed myself some photos from my phone that were under the 50 size and they were tilted sideways and not able to be rotated.

    Anyone else have this problem and is there a work around?

    Thanks.

    Le Melon



    I live in Florida and they have it at ABC Liquor and Total Wine which are the two big retailers in my area. A few restaurant/bars I have been to have it as well but it is just rolling out.

    You can drink it straight on the rocks or mix water or soda water and it is fantastic. My wife mixed it with a Sparkling Ice Coconut Pineapple and loved it.

    I'm definitely going to try out the real deal.

    The bartender and I sort of invented a new drink as a spin-off from this last night. I call it the "ManGoose". Mango + Grey Goose. Since I'm down here in South Texas near Mexico it's a popular flavor to add into drinks. Also, since mango is pronounced "mon-go" in Spanish as opposed to "main-go" like most people do in English, the drink is pronounced "mon-goose" like the animal, although spelled differently. Here's how we made it...
      1) Coat the edge of the glass with Maraschino Cherry juice.2) Rim the glass with Trechas chile powder.3) Mix Grey Goose, Mango Juice, Mango Puree & Mango Liqueur. Not sure how many parts of each.4) Serve on the rocks
    It was delicious, I consumed many of them. image Here is a pic for your enjoyment!
