Supreme Cmdr Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I have enabled the use of custom avatars. You can access your profile and select from a list of 26 avatars.Though I have 88 avatars in that folder, for some reason UBB only displays 26. Still trying to find out why that is.You can download and view the list of avatars I have collected from around the Net.[ 01-03-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Yep I noticed it when I got onto the forums. Um, the blank.gif image for those who don't have an avatar isn't working. And how do you set a custom avatar? Anyway, thanks for the cool updates, boss.(Edit--Oooh, cool. Just trying on a few avatars.... )[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendi Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 This is sooo cool. I chose this avatar because I guess it best represents me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I will create one now.To set a custom avatar (like mine) you have to upload the avatar to my server, then I have to update your profile manually. You already know the answer to that one I think: Its not gonna happen.Once I figure out why all 88 avatars are not listed, there will be more to choose from. And if anyone has avatars they want me to upload, then I'd like to see them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 ACK! I don't want an avatar! I keep having the blue thing displayed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 LOL! You made the default pic a smurf.... I'll find some images from some other UBB boards that I like and I'll make a list here later.[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Perhaps you could change the default to a small transparent gif file. (I'm guessing this because blank.gif probably means a blank gif file.......)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.[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendi Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 You know what would actually be funny? If SC locked the avatar options and everyone who hasn't changed their avatars are stuck with the smurf avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Ahhh. Wishful thinking. But that would be funny indeed.... [ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Ths one looks like a warrior... No Fendi, it isn't funny to stick with a snurf. Just imagine if you were around with that avatar. Eek, right?Over and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or another idea is to set an avatar, "none", which would be a blank one, if SC wants to keep the smurfs as the norm.#2: On other UBB forums, you upload your pics to the acutal server. SC doesn't have a lot of space & bandwith to spare..... You can't manually change the URL, either.#3: Don't put your CD-Key in your forum profile. The field shouldn't be there anymore, because anyone who looks at your profile can get your CD key--and that's not a good thing.Fendi and I exchanged a few PMs a while back, and IIRC, SC deleteted all of the CD-Key things in forum profiles to protect against that security risk.

Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Oban: I cant seem to view them all in my profile update, some are just blank boxes. Same thing on my end. Also, since SC said that there were supposed to be 83 or so avatars displayed, I decided not to speak up about it. I think he's already aware of this. But when he works out the kinks, everything will be all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Lindsey Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I chose avatar 4 but it's dead. In the downloaded folder it is avatar04.gif. But right click the dead pic and it is listed as avatar4.gif. Bet 1 - 3, 5 - 9 are the same way. The double digit avatars (IE avatar14.gif) seem to be working fine.

Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Yeah, try taking off the 0 from all the single-digit ones, SC. See if that works.[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
