Hallo!
I think I'm having difficulties with my avatar and profile photo. I uploaded both, but whenever I view my profile, I see neither. So I check my profile settings, but both pictures are in their correct place. Is it just me who can't see my picture?
Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi Kawi,
Unfortunately, in your case, this is a site-wide restriction. Those members who are under 16 do not have their photo/avatar or age shown anywhere on the site, regardless of personal settings.
This was created to ensure a safe environment for young members and to prevent some unwanted contact that seemed to occur because of photos previously.
Once you turn 16, you'll have full access to the site!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly at privacy@takingitglobal.org

Just another general note about your avatar/profile...
If you upload a new one to replace your current avatar/profile pic and you are still seeing your old one, this is because your web browser "caches" your image so it doesn't have to re-download it every time.
In order to see your changes, just clear your cache so it will load in a fresh copy of the image. To do this, is easy and is often only one step. However, these steps vary between the different browsers.
I found this website: http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahic.html that tells you how to do this step by step, for each of the major browsers.
If you have any problems doing this or getting your images to update, please contact me via this fourm or TIG IM and I will be happy to help.
