    Pick one username. One avatar. Stay with that forever. Avatars and usernames are grouped together in my head. Change one or the other and I have either lost all respect for you or have absolutely no idea who you are. I think people shouldn't be allowed change anything. It's not my fault you picked a crap username. You'll have to live with it.

    Please don't change my username again.

    Can someone swap all of Doc Bollockos and javaboys profile details? Usernames, avatars, tags, sigs, post count, join date, the lot.

    I just wanna see how long it takes for anyone to notice, including them

    p.s Are moderators allowed custom avatars?
    It didn't come as part of the package when I was a mod, although it probably should, considering what people are giving back by modding. (ie. reading long uninteresting threads and having to decide which toys go back in which prams)

    Of course you want to be a mod - you'd hardly "top" yourself at the prospect. Also it's not "your" thread, and mods who don't subscribe don't get customised avatars.

    If people are hosting the image for their avatar on their own webspace I see no reason to not allow them have a custom avatar.

    As long as they hacked the upload script to examine the first few bytes if the image was image/gif and make sure that it wasn't an animated GIF. Otherwise having so many people able to upload animated GIFs would mean that they'd keep getting through.

    On the other hand, we could use the use of animated GIFs as a minority report on the user in question being a twat, and just lifetime siteban anyone who did.

    Is that difficult do you know?

    I agree that the current size restrictions and restictions on animated gifs should stay.

    Why is Gods name would i want to be a moderator on this website, i mean, seriously. Do i suspect some bitchyness coming from you, from what i posted in the other feedback thread? I think so :rolleyes:

    I stated my opinion in the OP and become bombarded with posts which make no sence and are off topic

    I think if I subscribed I'd rename myself Laudenum, and make my avatar a vial and dropper.

    Just let people google and then wait for the Feedback thread!

    Once you reduce yourself to that, you loose the argument.

    Ulster Bank are giving me €100 for opening an account.
    They got in trouble for also offering tickets to a strip club with that €100.*

    Animated gifs are the thing that makes me think custom avatars should not be available to all. I hate the blinking, flashing, irritating yokes.

    For about a euro a week I like my blue baldy avatar. (designed by 6th, dontcha know) I think Im worth it.



    *completely off topic but interesting fact.
