Hehe, that's the one tank. Like I have said before, I am not very computer literate. It took me a while to see what programs actually work for this but I finally found GIMP and it is a great program.
BTW- I wouldn't mind having a selection of avatars to choose from. I think it would help out a lot of noobs.
BTW BTW- I noticed that when you change the avatar, it resets all the posts that were made to update the avatars. I personally don't like that feature. It is cool to see what someone had before they changed it.
We are here today to talk about tomorrow. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will soon be today.
Sorry, but I am generally rushed when I am replying here. Not only do I administrate this place, but I also am working on several school projects, and several programming projects too.

speed, i realise you're no longer here, but that's not a very helpful suggestion. and the plain truth is, i've never seen a forums run on any platform that saved off different versions of people's avatars.
i agree that it would be kind of cool, but winds up raising a bunch of new issues (like total avatar storage space and max # of avatars) that i don't really see being worth the trouble. but if you are still around, speed, i recommend surfing some phpbb forums and finding one that has the feature you are looking for. then the hack can be identified and installed, n'est pas?

I cannot be helpful in the realm of computer system setups...or whatever. It is merely my job to point out and suggest random things in order to make this forum a little more interesting. Weather they are used is totally up to the admin. Sorry that I cannot be any more help than a pot of stew but that is what you get when you spend 5 years smoking pot.

Some pre made ones are enjoyable, but I think it they are better when you make them your self, I don't like it to much when people make other avatars for others. I think the avatar is pretty much a canvas for self expression. The best avatars I've seen are on these boards I'd have to say. Keep up the good work guys.

Heh, I think avatars are dumb. Of course, I have one anyway.... They encourage people to be "artists", and as we all know "artists" are generally pretentious and annoying. I don't have avatars on my own forums, but then, nobody posts there. I wonder if there's a cause and effect relationship? Heh.
