Custom avatar enable request! var avatardir = "/avatars/"; -> "/customAvatars/"

[Reply #40 on:]

You forgot to mention that everyone need to have that option enabled by the avatar czar or another staff member, since the ability was abused by a lot of members, it is now limited to those you specific ask for it.

My bad, the last I posted here the system was way different.

EDIT:  Who do I ask?  Do you think this one is too choppy?  Its the best I could do with my mediocre GIMP skills.:

Dagnabbit! I keep asking this question in the wrong section. People are going to start booing me.

I've seen people saying that you can use your own custom avatar, but on the "Forum Profile Information" page, there's no option that lets you upload your own picture. Am I missing something?

[Reply #43 on:]

I think you ask someone to do it for you and upload it.
Also this thread title is stuffed up.

[Reply #44 on:]

Ahhh, mille grazie.

Well, I'm not fortunate enough to know any moderators, so I guess I'll just put the picture here and hope one of them sees it?



Also, I love that all of us Futurama fans begin our sentences with "also"!

[Reply #45 on:]

The mods will see every thread, one will come soon.

Can we somehow trade Future Shock back for Bear? Or anybody back for Bear?

I think it's winna who has the power to give you the power to enable custom avatars.

If you have any poo, fling it now.

We also have some very pleasant and very skilled avatar makers on this board - if you post a larger picture they may well fine-tune it for you. But that's all academic if winna hasn't done the whole permission thing.

[Reply #49 on:]

I noticed! I was looking at some of the avatars that they made out of people's pictures. They have serious skills!

Academics are the first most important part!

Check out this link ToShredsYouSay: How you get a custom avy.

The avatar you have requested is too jaggy.  You can either learn how to make smoother images, or follow the advice of others and possibly get someone else to make one for you.

By and by, I don't hand out the option until the user proves they understand the custom avatar rules by first providing an example of their first new custom avy.  I do this, because after I give one the option of using custom avatars, they can basically go hay wild after that.... in which case my powers become all but futile, and an admin will have to step in and beat somebody down.

Good luck!

Winna, aren't you meant to be in jail or some such?

[Reply #52 on:]

I was in jail; I bonded out.  I apologize that that incident was publicly broadcasted on here.  That was over a month ago I think.....  time is fuzzy to me.

To be honest, the offenses I went to jail for were hardly of any concern: traffic warrants for non-moving violations and failures to appear before court (the latter putting them into warrant status).  Then I was at the wrong place at the wrong time (or maybe the right place at the right time... eh eh?) and the policemen scanned my record and hauled me off.

I should have sat in jail.... for about 3 to 5 days..... then I wouldn't have to worry about the tickets.  Unfortunately my girlfriend watched me get arrested and escorted away in the back of a cop car.... so she worried all night and contacted anybody and everybody she knew to help me out.

Totally my fault.... something that's been riding on me for almost 2 years.... maybe 3 now.

Oh, I didn't get arrested in Minnesota this past weekend either despite being a belligerent drunk asshole, in public and in front of police no less; I think I qualified for Biggest Jerkoff in Minnesota that day.

There isn't a Tickle Me Bender avatar available.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I DEMAND TICKLE ME BENDER!

[Reply #54 on:]

You can make one yourself, or rephrase your arrogant demand as a polite request.

[Reply #55 on:]

Damn, I thought winna was back.

1. I was supposed to sound stupid.
2. I didn't know this forum had custom avatars. I read it as an avatar request thread. Yes, I'm new here.

[Reply #57 on:]

Scrolling up slightly would have shown you that the forum does have custom avatars.

[Reply #58 on:]

Whoever does the stuff...

do the stuff?

so I can have this

wheee!

[Reply #59 on:]

I'm not usually big on the square avatars, but yours looks nice.

Go into your profile to upload!

[Reply #60 on:]

Good to have you back, Winna.

[Reply #61 on:]

Winna's back!  You been in jail again or something, Winna?

[Reply #62 on:]

[Reply #63 on:]

I can haz Bearshark plzzzzzzzz?

[Reply #64 on:]

EDIT: Disregard this.

[Reply #65 on:]

   Would this be possible?

   

It's hard to know how many of ye olde avatar artisans are still hanging about.

   My apologies if this is the wrong thread.

No problems. I think that technically the thread for commissioning the creation of new avatars is here. This is thread you come to ask the powers that be to make your account capable of using custom avatars.

Well, that's how it's supposed to work anyway.

If you have any poo, fling it now.

[Reply #66 on:]

Ah, thank you very much. I posted in the thread you linked to.

Upload to Custom Please

You registered this month, how do you even know about Upload to Custom?

[Reply #69 on:]

Maybe he's a budding PEEL 1 historian?

If you have any poo, fling it now.

[Reply #70 on:]

That's funny, because when I go to his profile it says he registered on 20 June 2005

[Reply #71 on:]

ehrm... so he did. I think I mistook the "local time" for a "reg date."

Carry on.

[Reply #72 on:]

You're losin' it, man.

If you have any poo, fling it now.

[Reply #73 on:]

you mean I once had it? Thanks! That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day.

[Reply #74 on:]

Aw, man. You were the Man, man.

If you have any poo, fling it now.

[Reply #75 on:]

Looks like it conforms to the rules.  Check out your profile Roy Bluth; you should be able to upload it yourself...

Also, I'm missing season 4...the greatest season ever.

[Reply #76 on:]

Whoa, it worked. I don't know how that happened. But thanks.
