Either I'm an idiot, or are we only allowed to pick from a few avatars and can't upload our own right now? I'm utilizing a rubber duckie at the moment.

I think I set mine up during the fund raising drive a couple years ago. I just looked and yeah, there is no way to choose one. Hopefully this is one of the changes they are thinking about. The avatars help bring some personality about the person out, no real sense in restricting it. Pete 03-06-2009, 12:46 PM This was an unintended change when we recently updated our software. We'll add it to the list of things to correct. Karried 03-06-2009, 02:32 PM lol... I like the duckie... Smokin Joe 03-06-2009, 07:36 PM Cool... Glad to hear it... Cause I've been sporting avatars of Susan Tedeschi on all my other web site... Have for years and years... http://www.moboogie.org/newsArchive/2007/04-26/Pic20.jpg Joe grantgeneral78 03-06-2009, 09:14 PM great I cannot wait till it is fixed, so I can add me a new avatar bristolscene 03-30-2009, 11:07 PM My avatar has disappeared. ? It shows up in my user control panel and showed up by my username on posts earlier today, but now it is gone. Everyone else's remains the same, so it can't be my computer or Internet connection....hmmm. I don't know much about this stuff. Pete 04-04-2009, 01:12 PM Something very strange is going on with the avatars... I've double-checked all the proper settings with the vB admin panel, yet these problems still persist. Please be patient while I seek outside help. Pete 04-09-2009, 08:06 AM I believe I resolved the problem. When we did the upgrade, it made it so only subscribers would have access to custom avatars. I changed the setting so everyone should have this now. bristolscene 04-09-2009, 02:42 PM Cool; thanks. MadMonk 04-09-2009, 02:59 PM Did you mean to enforce a 50x50 pixel restriction or was that an oversight? venture 04-10-2009, 11:32 PM Did you mean to enforce a 50x50 pixel restriction or was that an oversight? I was just about to mention that. 50x50 is extremely small, smaller than most current avatars. 100x100 would be more than acceptable I think. Also the size restrictions seems to be a bit too low. That should be around 100k max size. Pete 04-11-2009, 10:24 AM I changed it to 75 x 75 and 50K for non-subscribers. VIP and above get 100 x 100 and 75K. papaOU 04-12-2009, 12:57 AM I am unable to remove my current avatar and post a new one? Directions please! Luke 04-27-2009, 01:53 PM There are a few folks with seemingly huge avatars still... Pete 05-07-2009, 09:14 AM Yeah, not sure why the parameters are allowing those monster images. If you see any, send me a PM and I'll resize them. |
