avatars

[Rednut]

do we need to host the avatar files on the xs site?

[Golf Loon]

No, you can load em from your computer through your profile. They must be the right size or they come out all a funny size. good luck.

[imported_brackie]

Yeah...Looney's right. If you're ouside of the parameters it won't show.

yo in regards to the wording above the little avatar, (pic) mine says turbo charged when my car is not turbo'd i dont liek how it says this when befor it said naturally aspirated, please tell me how to change this misleading info

[el_foolio]

haha, this only refers to the amount of posts youve made, as you amke more and more posts, you become turbo charged or intercooled. you begin as naturally aspirated and go one from there, hope that clears it up mate

[Golf Loon]

Can see how it could be misleading though. What about some colour Brackie, or move it below the pic. Or put rated : Turbo etc.

Oh...."You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time..." I think Abe Lincoln said that. (Or was it Bob Dylan????) There's not much that you can do to change colours etc without playing with the programme template. I'm not going to do that as if (or when) we get hacked or a new version comes out it will make my life very difficult to reinstall without the risk of losing data (previous posts).
So, if you are all unhappy with the silly ranking system that I invented I'll remove it, or if you have a better set of ranking names let me know. (It refers to the number of times a user has posted, or if you like has contributed to our community.) If you want to have a text heading with your avatar then import your picture into an image manipulation programme (Photoshop, Paintshop Pro etc), superimpose the text that you want to have over the pic, or put in a caption.

...."You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time..."

I think it was Winston Churchill Brackie.

Keep the rating system I reckon its great. Especially as i`m Turbo Intercooled!
