Why can't I get an avatar?
Our illustrious Editor has suggested that I ask the clever people here about a problem which puzzles both of us:
I want to set up an AB avatar and have chosen one. I have registered with Gravatar but cannot get past the page which says:
Select a file from your computer
I browse to get the file I want, click on it and OPEN it. The Word window disappears and I get back to the Select a file.... page in which the bar now says C:\Documents and settings. When I click on NEXT, nothing happens.
If I try typing the name of the file into the bar I get a message which says "This is not a valid file name"!
What am I doing wrong?
(I run Windows XP and have tried the above using both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Same result.)

Three Cheers.
I may appear to be relatively knowledgeable about establishing Avatars but, initially, I also had difficulty, and the Ed had to render assistance to me.
Anyway, all's well that ends well and your Avatar reminds me of what I looked like in my school uniform...more than 60years ago.
Best wishes .....Ron.
