Merged Avatars and Signatures thread

[garyh]

Just wanted to make sure you're aware of your condition.

Quite aware. People keep expecting me to know stuff and be helpful. What's up with that?

Seriously... any word on the member title issue? Still not working for me...

Sig Size Problems

I am having problems with the 500 word limit on sigs. I could understand if it was done intentionally... but was it? My sig is far larger than that, due to all the urls contained in it, and this is a problem for me updating it to using the new urls for everything.

Will this be fixed eventually? Or was this done intentionally?

I've asked about it before, and I think Morrus is still pondering. I'd like to see signs permitted to be longer because of sigs that use lots of code. Otherwise, I'm going to have to switch to a sig-post in the compiled sig threads, and then a single link in my sig.

I'm waiting for Morrus' final verdict as well. I could trim mine down quite a bit if the hidden hyperlinks didn't count towards the displayed total, but since they do and I'm grandfathered in at the moment, I just can't bring myself to chop it all out. Maybe I should, though. I don't know. It's a tough decision.

ENWorlds Predefined Standard Avatars...Can't get them to Work anymore ???

Hello All,

Well after messing about for a few days now tring to get the Avatars to work, I am at a loss. I have tried, deleteing cookies, temp. int files, history, and even swapped from IE5 to IE6 and back again. But no luck. The site itself seems to be working ok and refreshing fine. Both my PC at work and PC at Home refuses to display my Avatar. I liked that little guy...Bummer !!! So anyone having the same problem with ENWorlds pre-defined standard Avatars or is it just liddle ol' me. Any help and/or advice would be appreciated. Cheers guys

They just come up as little white boxes with the red X. It does look good on you, though.

...advice would be appreciated.

Attach the avatar as an image so an Admin can assist you. They seem to be working for other folks who had them prior to the change, and I have added my new avatar since the new version of the boards came to be, so I can only assume it is something specific to your system. (No offense, of course.)

Well, did a look at the properites of the avatars and this is what I see...

This makes me feel your issues is location, when I check the standard images there are none showing. Looks like a tech issue but I would say it may be easier to upload one.

I've been having the same problem with these avatars since the board changed. I tried linking directly to one of the icons in a browser window but it came back as a broken link. Since I figured they were broken for everyone and that it was just a low priority fix (and I'd mentioned and seen the problem mentioned in earlier posts), I didn't worry much about it. But now if some are able to link to the icons and some of us aren't...well, I don't know.

Nice ideas but....

Hi all,

Thanks for your replys and I will comment on each one:

Thalmin: Well yes the red X is quite fetching but I would prefer black as it would go better with my shoes.

Mark: I am not very computer savvy so not sure how to attach an Avatar or where to even get an Avatar from. Oh and I do have quite old PC's at work and at home.PII at work and Low end PIII at home. So I suppose it could be my systems.

Hand of Evil: I did try those links too and got some error messages and told to contact the Webmaster at www.enworld.org etc...... so think it may be the Standard Pre-Defined Avatars that are de-funct or maybe my PC at Work and at Home just can't hack the new ENWolrd Site features....Bummer....I'll have to change my Login to "Red EX"

Bekkilyn: If you figure out how to sort out an Avatar then let me and the rest of us Avatarless ENWorlders know. Cheers !!!

PS. Does anyone care to submit an idiots guide on how to create/find/upload an Avatar to use on ENWorld. Many Thanks in anticipation.
