*****Official***** Custom Avatars Enabled

Nice, time to go to work making avatars

Precisely.

 

[Dualist]

Excellent, now to find some good avatars to use.

[Kyteland]

Hells yeah!

80x80? Are you freaking kidding? 100x100 is small and there's more than enough room with the rest of the garbage packed into the left-hand ID pane to warrant more than 80x80. Since AT won't be hosting the avatars, I don't see the problem with normal size avatars. It's not like AT's bandwidth is going to suffer or something.

This is what I want for an avatar, I made it expressly to use on AT:

nice

 

[Crusty]

Nice 🙂

 

[Platypus]

yay, thank you!

 

[Anubis]

booooo transparent backgrounds don't work

I made mine by matching the vb skin lavender and replacing the transparent part with that.

yea i could do that but that it wouldn't work for everyone if they skin the forums differently

Which is fine until they enable more skins 😛

 

[Platypus]

I only care about how it looks to me 😛

Okay, I'm digging the custom avatars. Really, it's a good idea.

But why do the mods get to have a bigger avatar? oldsmoboat's flag is mos def not 80x80.

I think Nik's proposal is fair. 100x100 is not going to cramp up the left side of the screen. I don't know how it's going to affect bandwidth, but I hope it will at least get some consideration from the higher ups.

And I thought the uploaded avatar feature affects everyone globally, unless it was permissioned to affect them differently on their usergroup level.

Sweeeeeeet!

Keep complaining and I'll let Admins and Mods have animated avatars, just to piss you off some more. :biggrin::biggrin:

You asshole, you stole my avatar.

 

[JDub02]

Yeah. Custom avatar was the last thing on my list for forum software to be good. Good job, forum staff. Kudos to the admins for fast changes and behind-the-scenes work.
