Oh is that what that is?

I thought it was for the dancing girls!

And yes I can see it now.

Edit: The shovel must be the Italian winch for when it gets stuck in a mudhole in Bosnia.

Looks good. Wonder if there is a pickaxe on the starboard side?

The Avatar has been broken for a few months now. I think its the forum and not me.

I'm pretty sure it is the forum. Trying to get my avatar back, I get the message "Your avatar does not match the maximum size, width or height." eventhough it is a 90*90 pixels image of 7184 bytes which is less than the maximum given by the board of 100*100 pixels and 10000 bytes.

It does work on the backup forum, but when I instal it over there, you'll end up with that no pic symbol like snip's avatar on this board.

... and I would think that the tank needs more shovels on it for when it gets stuck in the sands of the desert. One for each crew member.

Edit: On the backup forum, I have no problems seeing Snip's avatar. Another indication that it has to be something with the main forum itself.

Incidentally, I've been meaning to ask both of you to send me your avatars so I can fiddle with them and fix them.

You should have mine as soon as enough electrons are inconvenienced to get it to you.
