pin Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hasnt worked for me. O/S Win 98. Seems wierd though, my avatar and pics were there this morning but now have gone! Wouldn't work for Win98, sorry (2000/xp only). I made a fix for windows 98 users. For those more technically minded the file you need to edit is c:\windows\hosts. Simply go to this link and you will find updated instructions and a new script. Untested as I don't have access to a windos98 machine, but it should work. Please let me know if it helped you!

Of course, I could always use my laptop with XP Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Worked for me Pin, again, many thanks P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I am sad to have to advise everyone that pin,s fix was miss-advertised under the trades description act. His instructions were to follow the prompts given when running his fix- or words to that effect In fact He'd done such a good job of it that I didn't have to do anything else! Shoont we ban him or somink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 If anyone still has the no avatar / no pictures from the forum problem, then here is the easy fix. Check this link and follow the instructions. I know I go on, but this is as easy as saving a file and then double clicking on it, literally! To those that are worried about .bat files from strangers - simply ignore the instructions and click the link on that page instead of saving it first, and you will see its an innocent copy script. As an added bonus, simply run it again and it removes itself from your computer! I can't make it any easier than that Its just worked for me Pin, thanks very much in deed. At last, im back to normal.
