Sorry to all those who had a forum avatar, the system is currently being revamped, and will be up and running again soon. Please be patient. I am afraid to say that you will have to choose your avatar again once the revamp is complete

Its all finished now. The sum it up quickly

I've now replaced the old quality pictures with the ones new thumbnails (simply compied over from the main VC)
I've fully added Season 6 images.
I've also made it so the more reputable posts you have to more avatars you can access.

I new member can access 5 avatars from Season 1, while a seasoned member with high reputation and over 1000 posts can use all the pics, especailly some exclusive ones from season 6 :D

Its all a bit of fun, so before you come down on my like a ton of bricks for encouraging spamming. I just though I'd say that those who do spam will not be able to use avatars at all! :D

You gain access to new ones very quickly, the first four seasons are completely available after 200 posts, and Season 5 after 500. Its only Season 6 which you will need to get to 1000 to have the fully selection.

You're right it does sound like encouraging spamming to me, especially considering the current state of events. But it's your forum. You could of at least told me first, I don't remember which one I had before! :)

I don't know for sure but I think the picture I always used has changed. Do you have the old one lying around somewhere? The current one is too dark, I can barely identify Dewey.
Never mind if you don't have it, I can simply change my avatar.
 
I like it, its a really clever idea, something very simple, but a nice little addition, just adds some more interest to the milestone posts.

I've increased the brightness for you, is that better or do you want it brighter?

Thanks, I just thought it would add another reason to post, and promote the avatar system more. Most people tend to stick with one avatar, maybe now they will change it every so often!

Well I knew you would say that, but there you go! :D I didn't realise your avatar was so important to you. I am sure if you look in the "Web Archives" website you'll find out which avatar you used to have! :D

What's this about Season 6 images? The menu only goes to Season 4. If that's all I can access, that sucks! :mad:

Amigo, the more rep and posts you have, the more avatars you get.

Sam, I remember your avatar, want me to change it for you? :) No, seriously, It's on the same page your current one is and just to the right and above.

Thanks David, that's bright enough.

But you want people to change avatars? I have to say I'm not a big fan of this, because once you have an avatar, people identify you with it; it makes threads easier to read because you don't even have to read the name. So I'll stick with that one for a while, if you don't mind. Although I think it's a good idea to bring some life into the avatar system. ;)

Right, Amigo, a few more posts. :) Personally, I like the ones from earlier seasons, better.

@J, yes, please change it back. Maybe then I'll recognize it. :)

Could we not just chose our own? I mean I like to make mine... :)


But that's just my thoughts as a total newbie. :p

MRD, all of the season six avatars are available once you reach a certain threshold in the number of posts and reputation. But please don't spam to do so, as your reputation will suffer and you won't have access to them. Just be patient, and suddenly, they'll appear as a surprise one day. :)

Kratos, I believe selecting your own avatar is also a choice once you reach a set number of posts/reputation level.

OK thank you Yardgames :D Errr also is there a place to post stuff that you have done, or do I just start a basic thread in the general area?

What do you mean with "stuff that you have done"?
