Title: avatars in forums
Post by: WiseKran on November 08, 2004, 01:20:24 am: i just noticed that no one, except for a select few people in these forums have avatars(small picture that goes under name)... is this because it is only available to modertaors.. or am i missing something, becuase i cant figure out how to get an avatar on here >= |

Post by: druke on November 08, 2004, 01:47:21 am: Dev\'s, mod\'s and special people (like kada and Grono) have them, and as far as i know thats all that are allwoed to have them

Post by: Myrtl on November 08, 2004, 02:03:36 am: Exactly...although im not quite sure why we arnt allowd to have them. Its a mystery :D

Post by: Boldstorm on November 08, 2004, 02:25:49 am: Because the forums aren\'t set up that way would be one.
Two would be that the easiest way to set it with a Burning Board forum is to have the avatars uploaded to the server hosting the forums which you can guess why they wouldnt want to do that. If not look at the almost 10,000 registered users and figure out the math.
Besides I like the fact that it sets those people apart from everyone else.
So yes only Admins, Mods, Devs and special cases get avatars.

Post by: JellyWerker on November 08, 2004, 03:32:51 am: Who is a \"special case\", I suppose not me, but \"who\" in general.

Post by: Icefalcon on November 08, 2004, 03:38:13 am: Really really special people. Even more special than me. :P

I think only Devs and Mods (including probationary, temporary) get them. I don\'t think WTB Members get them, do they?

Post by: Icefalcon on November 08, 2004, 04:29:39 am: So do I, you can put images in your sig, why do you need avatars?

Post by: ArcaneFalcon on November 08, 2004, 04:41:58 am: Dude, there are like 300 nearly exact copies of this thread floating around out there. Use the (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/ps/top_suche.gif) button.

WTB members do get avatars, at least Niber and Djaggernaught have them, there are others too.
I like it much better without them.

Post by: Androgos on November 08, 2004, 09:15:57 pm: Special people are for example the winner of the backgrounds contest.

Have you ever visited a open non-underground forum with avatars? It\'s a complete mess

Post by: JellyWerker on November 08, 2004, 10:10:56 pm: you say you can stick imges in your sig, and I see them in yours, but it will not work for me, I made a simple sig in the gimp, and am hosting it on my site, but it will not link corretly, and that is not because my host does not allow linking, so any help anyone?

Use photobucket or a site like that that is used for image hosting that will allow you to link off site.
Sorry don\'t have the urls handy but I am sure someone will either come along with them or do the all mighty Google Search.

Post by: Seytra on November 08, 2004, 11:17:46 pm: Use .GIF or .JPG, since this forum doesn\'t recognise .PNG.

Photobucket is at http://www.photobucket.com

Post by: JellyWerker on November 09, 2004, 04:26:01 am: OK, I didn\'t know it had to be jpg or gif, I had a png, so here goes, I hope it works.

Post by: Myrtl on November 09, 2004, 04:45:11 am: Not sure if you ppl see the picture but i sure cant. Whats it supposed to be? Try using photobucket. Its a great pic hoster

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on November 09, 2004, 07:09:31 am: A \"special case\" would be the top three winnes of that art contest thing there was. They got a choice of any weapon in game or an avatar.

Post by: JellyWerker on November 10, 2004, 06:23:49 am: I am using village photo I think, photobucket wouldn\'t work, nor would tinypic.
