In order to help make the forums more secure, I've made an attempt to move all forum avatars and profile pictures into the forum database.

While this will create an increased load on the server, it should help eliminate the security risk of leaving some of the server folders writable, and thus minimise the risk of a hacking attack.

However, there may be some bugs to fix with the change - I'm not currently seeing my avatar, though I am seeing other peoples - possibly due to caching.

If you can therefore report if you're having trouble seeing forum avatars I'll look more deeply and see if there is a need to rebuild any of these.

Welcome :)

I know I made like 4 - 5 peoples avatars so if anyone else wants theirs back let me know. I never throw a thing away that I make lol.
 
You have made quite a few avatars here Alex. May I refer to you as a Kingmaker? :)

Wow, just noticed my old avatar. Haven't used that one in years.
