Picture avatars
The new feature allowing us to use pictures as avatars added fun to the site. They are great.
However, I have two questions:
1.- You know that every time a member with a pic avatar changes his/her profile settings, the avatar disappears. I think the administrator is the person who is able to reset the pic, but...isn't there a way to do it automatically, without the need to ask for it every time?
2.- Sometimes I like to change my pic or icon; we can change icons every time we want, but we can't change pics. Isn't able the software to let us change the pics too? I mean, changing some option in the configuration of the software.
Thanks in advance.

1. nope
2. nope
Sorry but this is the only way it will work, allowing members to have truly custom icons. If I were to somehow set it so users can upload icons themselves, then those icons will also be available to everyone else.

RE: Picture avatars
1.- Would you prefer that we inform you about the reset through a PM or just in a thread? Which thread would it be?
2.- Got it.

RE: Picture avatars
DJ... I have a question. I believe you mentioned that the avatars must by 40x45. But some of the default choices are different sizes, like the great American flag is 50x33.
Can a custom avatar be bigger than 40x45?
Just curious.

We could accomodate larger file sizes but to cut down on bandwidth and other factors, 40x44 is the size we're currently allowing.
Chiwas did you want your Eddy icon back up?

Thank you so much, DJ.
But the Tiger was getting dusty and wanting to take some fresh air.

Maybe in the preseason or the season we charge with it again.

Okay... well how about 50x35? It is a mere 2x50 pixels more.... How about 50x36? Is there any lee way, or is that set? I should probably PM you these questions, but thought it might be good to have documented here.

This is something I was wondering on custom icons. I see forum users like MFFL, Dooby, and Drbio that have custom icons. How did they change their icon over. Just curious.

As far as I know (and a moderator can correct if I'm mistaken) you get a custom icon when you make a certain number of posts OR make a donation to dallas-mavs.com

What is the required amount of posts to be able to use a personal avatar?

RE:Picture avatars
I dont mean to nit pick but..........
I just noticed member Novice#41 (sorry man, nutin against you) now has an avatar.
Thing is, he's just at member status with somewhere in the 900-post neighborhood.
I know of many more people here who have much more posts and higher status here that dont have avatars.
So, does this mean the "reach XXXX amout of posts to obtain avatar" policy is gone away with? Has a door been opened..........can all of us now sport avatars?
Cause as you can see below, I'm ready and waitin t get my avatar put in a nice spot underneath my name!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The sales pitch...........a good one. I kinda figured a donation would do it........I'll definitely be more then happy to join you guys..........
LRB.........Novice#41 is a gal huh.........interesting. I've always heard.......and seen......that gals down in Texas are quite the good lookers, especially on my numerous business trips to Big D and H-Town. "Mighty fine women down there"......as the locals would say.
Just curious.......since you happen to know more about her then me.......do you know if she continues the trend of beauty's in the Lone Star State......
If so, to the PM's I go .................

Met her in person at a Dallas-Mavs.com party last year and through PM's. There's also an old thread in the lounge, "Women have to help" or something like that lists a lot of posters who are female.

Dog as U2 stated, Novice is from Germany, but she's very attractive inside and out. And she's very friendly too.
