In the Avatar list is: Custom. If you click on that it tries to download a (Forum Name).gif.

Looks like personalised Avatars may be a possibility if bandwidth is available and someone (Not SC he far tooo busy) has time to sort it out.

Browsing the forums and seeing tons of smurfs is pretty amusing, but.... I think it's best to make it optional. Only IMO, of course.

No. If someone doesn't want the default Smurf avatar, they can pick from a choice of 26. Simple I think.

*sigh* I thought I could get rid of it... That was one thing I liked with those forums... no little annoying image... will there be a way to get rid of the avatar?

Or enter a custom url for a av?

BTW I noticed each time I go and modify my profile I must re-enter my CD-key... is it normal?

If its going to make you quit your whinning, I'll just create a blank transparent GIF as Nova suggested.

As for having a custom URL. Read my other post in the thread.

The CDKEY is not a mandatory field and should have NOTHING in it. So, I dunno why you are being prompted.

You probably can't. I guess thats why I made the files available for download?

Bet 1 - 3, 5 - 9 are the same way. The double digit avatars (IE avatar14.gif) seem to be working fine.


Fixed.

I guess who ever wrote the damn hack doesn't realize that in computer terms, single digits would normally be preceeded with a zero (0) for proper sorting. So, the geek that I am, named them with double digits. What was I thinking.

Alrighty now...is anyone working on the Fleet/Battlegroup Insignia avatars? I know you can put similar in your sig, but I think it would be cool to see Orion-Tsunami, Orion-Deterrence etc etc as Avatars.


Brilliant idea!!

Avatars should be in GIF format at 48x48 pixels and 256 colors. I can upload fleet insignia avatars to the server and fleets can use them. If someone who is not in a fleet uses them, an admin can just go in and remove it if the person (after being warned), does not.

I use a custom avatar which cannot be used by anyone else. In order to use a custom avatar, the filename should match your PDN (Publicly Displayed Name). This is why only I can use the Supreme_Cmdr.GIF avatar image.

I picked out like 88 of them, but the UBB hack only allows up to 26. Once I figure out what is going on, I'll sort it out and more will become available.

Pardon my stupidity but-- how would I put in my own custom avatar w/o uploading it?
