Title: Avatars
Post by: VileZambonie on February 07, 2009, 08:35:22 pm: Starting to see a lot of people using everyone else's avatars. I don't like this. Maybe a way to upload only your own avatar? That's why I deleted my original

Post by: oldwhity on February 08, 2009, 08:37:06 am: Maybe deleting the avatar selection would force people to use their own. Just a thought.

Post by: Captkaos on February 08, 2009, 11:34:36 am: I can make it so user cannot upload one (which alot of people will like even less), OR if everyone that has one of their own uploads it externally you can eliminate someone from using it. I can also look into making them so they are restricted, but all software is like this so it would take a code change. If you see someone using your old one that was upload and you are linking it, let me know and I will remove it. IF you uploaded it though it will go away for everyone, example: JR's and 69byrd's

Post by: bmaier on February 08, 2009, 11:30:37 pm: i agree with JR...be original. it hasn't happened to me but i agree. it gets confusing when i see several people have the same avatar.

Post by: Maintenanceman on February 08, 2009, 11:37:08 pm: I saw this thread and tried to upload one of my own but it wouldnt let me so I just picked a basic one that I hadent seen anyone using yet.

That sounds cool, just have a bowtie and a gmc avatar as stock. you really can't say anything if there are doubles of stock avatars, but yeah people don't need to copy personalized ones people have uploaded.

Post by: bake315 on February 14, 2009, 01:49:21 pm: Yep, noticed someone started using the one I created for myself. Not that I necessarily mind, but it would have been nice had they done me the courtesy of asking first...
