Excuse me, (I'm new around here..) I was wondering if I could have an Avatar with Amy in her Greek costume from "Sonic he comic n149". But any other Amy Avatar would do just fine thanks...

Currently looking into the avatar disappearance around here, as best I can.

^ Have a look on the modify profile page - find the avatar selection menu and look through those. There should be at least one Vector image. :s

There are seven avatars of "Vector", if that's whom you meant. They're in the drop down list in your profile.

I R NEW AVATAR HUME. I'm going to be re-alphabetising the avatar list and uploading a bunch of new ones over the next few days.

Double post: I'm currently sorting out the existing avatar list. Having all of the Sonic avatars at the top of the list, then grouping the rest alpabetically by character. I was just planning on doing the more main characters and having the rest as 'misc'. Unless anyone thinks it'd be better to actually go through and have sections for characters like Mr. Fry, who has one or two images.

Why not put Badnik's in there own subsection, seperate from misc? There may be only one Crabmeat, one Egg-Robo, one Grounder, etc, but collective there's load of Badnik's, and it'd be easier to find those for people who want Badnik ones.

That's a good idea. I'll put the Metallix avatars under the same heading. Ultimately, this isn't going to be of much use for existing users but it'll be a lot better for new members.
Any more suggestions welcome.

Random pointless moan, but this is as good a place as any to dump it, I guess:
I wish it were possible for avatars to be unavailable for selection once they'd already been picked... seems every other new member ends up picking an avatar someone else is either currently using, or has used for a fair period of time - and it gets damned confusing...
Moan ends.

We did try looking into that at one point. But it wasn't proving possible from what we could find.
If someone did know how, we'de gladly do it

You realise, if you did do it, you'd only have enough avatars for the first 943 (yes, I counted) members who picked avatars. Though we don't have anywhere near that many reulars, we have over two thousand members, and all it would take is for someone to sign up, pick that avatar for themselves, then never post, and hey presto, an avatar is gone forever.

Random pointless moan:
Though it's part of STCO, I'm not keen on there being avatars of fancharacters who appear in other comics.
No offence Adamis. I do love you so, but I fear that it sets a bad precedence.

If someone did know how, we'de gladly do it If the forums were hosted independently (and thus, were running off a personal installation of the software), it wouldn't be an issue at all to do it. With Proboards, however, you're pretty much limited to whatever they bother doing. It could be possible to do by linking the avatar to a script, rather than an image, and the script throws up the correct avatar for the user parameter sent to it - but it would: A) Require everyone to set up their account name and selected avatar on this script (hosted elsewhere and would probably have to run via a database) B) Make it harder to change avatars - it'd have to be done on the script, rather than on Proboards. C) Make it pretty difficult for new members to select an avatar. But, regardless, it's still marginally possible - just not really workable. Hence the moan being, ultimately, pointless.

But yeah, as Nam says; if someone picks one, then never posts again, it'll be gone for everyone else.

If I hadn't say she appeared in other comics, you'd never have known that But if you really want to remove it, it's also fine, I'll pick another avatar ^^
