I mailed scott and he changed mine within a day or two, and then I sent him a new avatar and without any complaints he changed it again within a day or two. He's normally very good at that. :)

Did you enclose a link to your user profile and a link to the avatar? Was it less than 10k and 64x64 or less?Quote:

Saves scott looking up who you are.... he can just click and add - nice and quick

in any post you make there is a profile button... click that, it will take you to your profile. Copy the url from the address bar and paste it in the email.
Time to ask...
Are we ever going to the chance to change our avatars ourselves? Is this planned or is it always going to be a case of e-mailing Scott?
Why do I ask? Because I want to change my avatar often and don't want an already busy Scott to have to keep doing it for me when it was so easy to do before.
Why do I want to change my avatar often? Why not?
Ditto, and I'd like to put the custom messages below my avatar too.Quote:

So it would appear that the majority are affected by the actions of a few!Quote:

Please!
And we need to change the color scheme for WD too.
And we need to get rid of a few wingers too :p :D

The question is a valid one regarding avatars and I'd like to know what is planned if anything.
