Hi Kelly,

The flag cannot be deleted. It can only be replaced with an avatar. A low-resolution image is not the proper way to downsize an image file to fit the specs of the system. If you aren't having any luck replacing it, attach an image file that you would like to use as an avatar to an email and send it to me — I'll be happy to convert it into an avatar and upload if for you. But please send an image file that's large enough that I can reduce the file size to fit the specs of the system without losing all the detail in the resolution. You can send an email to me by clicking on the "Email" button at the bottom of any message that I post.

However, I see that you have written less than 5 posts, so those links are still invisible to you. In that case you can send me an email at the address hidden from address-collecting computer bots in this "Spoiler" box. Just click on the "Spoiler" to access my email address as a live link.

Or, you can simply replace it with one of the stock avatars available. To do that just click on the "Show Gallery" link, select one of the categories offered, and select an avatar from your category of choice to replace the flag.

Those astrology links are left over from the early days of this board, and they no longer work to fetch daily astrology data. They are not individually removable. IOW, to remove one, all must be removed. I would assume that no one would object if I remove all of them, so when I get the time (unless there are objections), I'll try to modify the code to remove that feature.

OK, I have modified the code so that the horoscope information is no longer displayed anywhere on the discussion board.
