Note on Avatars - Jan 23, 2006 02:10
We' re going to upgrade the forums soon. You will like the improvements.

In the meantime though, anyone with a custom avatar request will need to reselect it as they are now all stored in a subfolder called " Custom Avatars - Only Use These if it is YOUR Avatar!" You will see this on the avatar selection screen which is accessible from the ' Settings' link above.

Anyone an request their oen avatar by emailing it to AVATAR@KIKIZO.COM. It must be 100x100 pixels and no heavier than 50k. All such future avatars will appear in this folder, but ones for anyone' s general use will be there in the first page of selection still. This will all be smoother once the forum is upgraded.

Is there any way to make it so that once a custom avatar has been selected by a member, it is no longer available for other members to select?

Not at the moment, but at least now they are categorised to make it obvious that unique avatars are only for their appropriate user, we should get fewer cases of people stealing someone' s unique avatar by accident.

great! one question though, it might sound dumb but...when you do upgrade the software, will we be able to choose our own avatar? upload it?

I didn' t know some of the avatars belonged to some people. While we' re on the subject, am I stealing anyones?

No... now that the " personal" ones are in a separate folder it' s easy to know what' s what.

I should certainly hope so!

Expect the forum upgrade very soon. If you come to the forum one day soon and it' s all weird, we' re probably right in the middle of upgrading it.

Pray we don' t lose data or something horrendous.

RE: Note on Avatars - Jan 24, 2006 10:13
I' ve tried several times to send my own in. First thru email, then thru PM in which I was told to send them thru to an email address, which I did again, and once more. They never got added and I never even really got a reply back.

So I' m wondering if it' s a problem with the email system itself. I thought maybe it was because I was using Gmail. However, I also tried with Yahoo! Mail.

I' m not sure what to do. Should I send them to a forum user who was able to get their avatar put up who can then send the email for me?

I checked all email (" avatar" in subject or message, w/ attachment, from gmail or yahoo) and all i ever got from you was a zip file with 19 avatars which i assumed would be for general use, and i don' t think this is what you mean... so I have no idea what this never got through.

Just use tinypic.com or whatever to post your pic right here and I' ll add it!

Mass X, you' re wierd! How can you go from an adorable little monkey with pac-man eyes, big cinnamon bun ears, and a cute little " A" sweater to yourself with bloody eye sockets?

Oh yeah. Thanks for putting my avatar on here, Adam. Can' t wait to see the changes!

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Hey Adam, could you please add two avatars for me so I can change from one to another from time to time?



and



If you can' t do both, then just the first one would be fine. Thanx, I' ll e-mail you also, just in case, I know you' re busy.

Edit: I don' t know why they look so big here, but on tinypic.com they are 100 x 100.

i wanted the yin yang avatar but it' s only 74 x 67 and 52.6 KB. 100 x 100 won' t look good, it' ll look stretched out. even if i make it bigger, the size!! i tried resizing it, but i got like 100+ KB size, then took out some color layers and it looked horrible. anyway, i usually find avatars as i go, I " stumble" upon them.

....i tend to find the best avatars are profile pictures of which ever character you wish to be your avatar.... ...anything else misses the point, as an avatar is supposed to be a digital representation of you....
...for example, both my own ( of-course) and Kyo.k' s, are excellent examples of a proper avatar, IMO...

...you gotta be prepared to spend time looking though..

It was likely going to get out of hand. Both myself and loco are responsible.

It wasn' t gonna get out of hands Majik. It got to a delicated subject, but so what, this is a forum, and this is " everything else" and we should talk about things like those. Opinions are opinions. anyway, u guys like my avatar?
