Due to possible security issues, it has been necessary to disable the uploading of avatars for new members, for the time being.

If you wish to have an avatar displayed in your profile, please contact a member of the PC Pals Admin Team.

We have now instigated some additional security measures, and have re-enabled the uploading of avatars and attachments for regular and established members.  :)

We know, Davy. :( We're as proactive as possible in trying to anticipate attacks and blocking them before they occur, but it's certainly become a bigger problem in recent years.
