1. ensure that the picture is online somewhere
2. in your profile page go to the 'Select Avatar' section. You can choose from the built in options or you can type in the path to your pic (e.g. the kenny pic is at http://www.kenny.de/info/kenny05.gif
3. Click 'Update Profile'

failing that email me the pics (bmw@kbannon.com)

Well congratulations kbannon and all others involved in getting it sorted . The site was missed. Computers are a pain. Mine Blew up 9 months ago and my gosted Hardrive was melted and I lost everything.  Thats life though.

Naw it wasn't a virus - I have been led to believe that a malicious attack on the site occured but somehow all data was lost. I am still waiting on some answers from our website hosting proivider .

Anyway from our point of view the site was offline for 48hours and I am not sure why and furthermore as all data on the server was lost and my forum database backup was from the end of August we lost two or three weeks worth of posts .

From now on we are going to make very regular backups ourselves to minimise data loss again.

I am lead to believe that the site went down for 48 hours and a number of members sweated blood and worked all night to bring it back. Verdict is that a Virus attacked the system.  Basically everything added from late August on was lost and they are trying to retrive. I suggest looking at the website feedback section as details are posted on there.
