I see that the function - at least the information that "if you change it you will lose it" for custom avatar is there. For example virge has the old style. Is there a way to import a custom avatar yet or am I missing something?

Thanks

It's been temporarily disabled. We're going to allow custom avatars sometime in the future, but we'll have some rules posted before we allow it.

I agree that there should be rules, and perhaps a (pre)approval mechanism, if that's possible. But custom avatars are definitely the way of the future ;)

wow the new avatars are horrid. hopefully they either get some semi-decent ones, or enable custom ones

BTW: i really miss my cow :)

btw: i have years worth of trades with AT people, and i save all the html files of the back and forth conversations. which is where i was able to find the .gif of my cow.

so if anyone has an old avatar they are having trouble finding let me know. there is a pretty good chance i have it

I found a .gif of the old zombie avatar, but apparently it wouldn't work as a direct upload. So, through a fair amount of effort in MS paint, I have become a zombie once again. Doesn't seem exactly right but it's close enough.

Would be nice if the zombie were a part of the "old school" avatars offered, though. Heck just put em all in there, including the old default avatar.

Supposedly, if you upload it in .png format, it will retain it's invisible background.
