February 3Gmail user -Icon disappeared from webmail?

- Usually this is due to your email account and all you need to do is simply perform a Firefox clear cache refresh: Click Ctrl +Shift+ R on your email window and wait until your Webmail service reloads.
- Gmail users: be sure you are using "Rich Formatting"; WiseStamp will not work with "Plain Text". In order to switch from "Plain Text" to "Rich Formatting: In the "compose new email" box, simply click 'Rich formatting >>' and you are good to go.
If none of the above works try the following:
- Temporary disable interfering Firefox extensions:
- To disable extensions click: Tools>>Add-ons>>Extensions>>Click on each Extension>>Disable.
- After disabling all (except for WiseStamp), restart Firefox.
- Try now to insert your signature manually if that works, click CTRL+Shift+R and check if the auto insertion works as well.
- Now you can enable the extensions one by one until you find which extension conflicts with WiseStamp.
- List the conflicting extension and please let us know so we can solve it.
- Are you using the extension "better gmail2"?
- Try to uncheck options on the "compose" tab and/or the "Use Macros" tab.
If none of the above works- you might have a specific
issue with your personal Firefox Profile, what you might want to do is to
create a new Firefox profile. See this guide >> after creating a new profile install WiseStamp again -

If you see this icon:
you have probably added an incorrect image location link.

Picasa users- note that the link provided by Picasa directs to the page and not the image. For that reason it will not work. To upload the image, you need to right click on it as explained in the 'Image Location link' guide.
