That could be the reason, though I never changed any of the settings.

I use Opera, so I'm not sure if this can be done in IE or Firefox, but sometimes you can set your browser so that it won't show images, or so that it will only show cached images. You might want to check that out.

My picture got through. I was worried it wouldn't work. It is not the greatest picture but it was the best I could find within five minutes. The problem with me is that people always think I am younger than my actual age.

Tig - do you need me to e-mail the picture over, or are the links I put in here good enough?

Nah, I'll get it from here... haven't had time to update, though, so I'll get to it as soon as possible.

I'm sorry that I don't know why it's not working for you Balin999, but you seem to be the only one having a problem... maybe my server doesn't like you, or something

I honestly don't know.

I see your point Lathriel. First time I looked at the photo I thought you were a teenager but a second look made me think you were older.

Balin maybe you should try using a different computer?

What i don't get is the fact that it worked before and that I didn't change any of the settings.

I could see that. I'm the opposite - for some reason, people have always thought I'm older than I am. They started thinking I was nineteen or twenty when I was thirteen. Now it's not quite as big a discrepancy between my appearance and my age - I get twenty-one or twenty-two and I'm eighteen.

And cool, Tig.

Take your time - just making sure I'd done everything I needed to do.

I've had both. I've been called all sorts of ages, plus and minus my real age.

When I was 18 I had a beard and a fairly adultish haircut and, especially when I was dressed up a bit, I was often thought to be in my mid twenties.

For a bit while I was 20 I was really clean shaven and I spiked my hair and, especially when I would wear a silly cartoonish t-shirt, I was mistaken for a 16 or 17 year old.

Yeah, I kind of go through phases. Right now I pretty much look my age. Maybe next year I'll be younger?

Facial hair does tend to make guys look older...and certain girls too, I would imagine (

). I'm bad at guessing ages in general, though, so I never try with people.

Now I have to pop back over to Tig's page and see your picture, phantom. That's a cool pic. Got a certain indie, IFC Film of the Week, maybe Pulp Indie even, feel to it. And you know, that makes sense to probably about two of you out there, so I'll just be quiet now.

People have asked me if I was in college for several years now. Basically I think that was just to make sure they didn't offend me if in fact I was, but... Hopefully, when I reach that point in my life when I want to be called an age minus my actual, things'll change.

I'm still trying to figure out obloquy's... Looks like something I'd have a nightmare about. So I give it two thumbs up.
