i have been thinking of changing my Avatar , Now the dilemmer i have is i want to change it to a Golly .. i have tried but it has not worked reasons i think 

1 - deamed as possibly racest ? but my love of robinsons strawberry jam .

2 - the club think it may be racest ?

3 - the flipping thing will not load ? 

would i be able to use it ? or should i just stick with the one i have now ?

what does everyone think ? Undecided

    You have my sympathy. The PC brigade appear to have struck in advance.

    Keep at it, after all a picture is just that and there are no words attached to cause offence.

    As regards racism I have often found that it is those who are racist that are the quickest to point the finger. I speak from many years of managing an ever changing group of multi-cultural staff in central London

    I hope you get your Avatar.

    Methinks he wants to change the picture, not his name.

    You need to refresh your page Golly and it will display.

    I have only seen your new avatar since your return.  Reminds me of my childhood, my cousin collected the badges.  Don't know if she still has them all.

    Good to see you back posting and trust you are much refreshed and feeling better?

    The system only ever displays your current avtar. Historical ones are replaced. That’ll be because they link to whatever’s in your profile.

    Aren't dragons copyrighted by a certain Kentish poster?

    I think RT has difficulty loading their picture, rather than obtaining one.

    Love your new Avatar Golly, not racist at all IMO. Wish they would bring them back on the jam.

    I've spotted your deliberate mistake.  I think you've added your comment to the wrong quote but I understand what you mean. Happy

    I’m not sure what file formats are supported, but am pretty sure bmp is one. Can you create your pic as a bmp?
