== Showing the avatar ==

The avatar is grabbed directly from CCP servers by using your characterID. This is stored in the same way the corporation name is stored. If anyone is worried about the security of using your characterID for this, I'll just add that anyone can find you characterID if they know your characters name thanks to the API.

If there is only an exclamation mark where your avatar image should be, this could mean 1 of two things:

# Your avatar isn't up on CCP servers yet, nothing you can do but wait.

# Your characterID isn't stored in your forum userprofile. This is easily fixed by doing the steps for reactivation listed above.

How to check whats the cause: You have to right click on the exclamation mark where your avatar should be, and choose image properties or something similar (varies a bit between browsers). Next you need to check the adress of the image. If it says http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=256&c= then you need to run the activation script, if it however says http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=256&c=935308063 (the number will be different for each character) then the image is just not up on CCP servers yet.

Hopefully this will help a bit with those that cant get they're avatar to work.
