Ummmm, is there now some kind of restriction on the avatars? i've only noticed mods' with 'em and there dont appear to be any specific forum rules about them apart from the size of the image (which i've adhered too). The image apperas in my user CP but it says that my Avatar isn't selected? do i need to hit so many posts or can us 'ordinary' folk no longer have them?? :unsure:

I'm hoping we could sort out custom avs for long-term or high postcount posters and also have a standard pool of the pre-set ones, as mentioned for medium post count post posters or something (low post count = no av).
Not finalised yet but if any of the original av users from the old forum want theirs back, just let me know & I'll sort it (if we don't sort it sooner anyway).
I was hoping to have time to get on & give people back their titles too but haven't had a chance yet... (sorry).


Cool, but what is with pugs avatar ^_^ he dont look like a watercooling guy to me lol :o Hehe, I wondered if anyone would know the guy :D - his name's Åke Mälhammer...
and he's cooler than he looks... ;)


[Edit] Bunch of old geezers ???:) Lol! Hang on, I'll just get yours... ;) :D

If ur in the process of sorting it i wont bother you by getting u to put my old piccy back up - not really worth the effort on your part so i'll just be patient ^_^

Pug

Mail it to me and I can upload it easily for you. No bother. :)
Sorting generic avs will take a while longer, as will changing the permissions accordingly for you to upload one ('cos I don't know how to do that yet... :o )

Must resist peer pressure to use old guy for avatar!

Actually I think its cool to give wise men their dues. I have just as many old guy friends as friends my own age, but Choppers and Hot Babe theme avatars take 1st priority ^_^
