Which is the WHOLE reason they give for not letting us have custom avatars. So far no one has posted anything moronic, but give them time...

There's a lot of things you *can* do to fusetalk that you wouldn't necessarily do. (Read: because you'll get banned) This is just like the rating exploit where you could give a negative. All you're doing is submitting a variable to use as your avatar, but instead of submitting "blindfold.gif" you are manually submitting "http://www.yoursite.com/avatar.gif".


True enough...but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...BTW angeldinoir's icon doesn't look weird to me....just a standard avitar....
 
I clicked on the thread and aves2k had a custom avatar in it. I clicked refresh and his avatar went back. What's going on?

Edit: WTF, I refreshed this thread and now random people within this thread are getting custom avatars. I think it's time to get off the bottle.

It's almost that simple, but not quite.

I'm just trying to keep it simple. But the point is you can change just about anything you want. Don't like any of the "state" options in the dropdown menu? Go ahead and submit "State of confusion". Don't like the 255 char limit on your sig? You can probably get around that too, although I haven't checked. Want to use an tag in your sig even though they supposedly turned that feature off for us plebs? I bet you can still use it.

You get the idea, but it will probably get the Mods might pissed too. ;)
 
Unless I know you - stop pming me for information. I don't want some dumbass posting porn or something equally as stupid.
 
Yea, anyways, good times, if you know what's good for ya....

I'm sure you've figured out why you don't get custom avatars in the first place.

Have a nice day. See you after my probation is over 😉
 
I was going to post something like "Don't let your personal biases take the place of sound architectural choices." but I figured that someone's penis would deflate too much and no one gets 90% of the sh!t I post anyway.

So who are you trying to impress again?

I don't post to impress people in case you hadn't figured that out yet.
