I dont care if this gets closed because that means a Moderator will have seen this.

What is up with the avatars now? A good amount of people on SWF has an avatar that says "(insert name)'s Avatar", including me. You Moderators going to do anything about this little problem? I PM'd KirbyKing and he never responded back (Moderators -_-).

Anyone else experiencing this? Because it's dumb.

An avatar is a computer user's representation of himself or herself, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games, a two-dimensional icon (picture) used on Internet forums and other communities, or a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs. It is an “object” representing the embodiment of the user. The term "avatar" can also refer to the personality connected with the screen name, or handle, of an Internet user.

well... procrastinated because i'm doing a lot of other stuff but it took me like 2 minutes to make this. (i removed it and broke the link because SWF won't take the format) the problem is SWF wont let me set it to my avatar. it's the same size... do you have to be a premium member to have a custom avatar?

turns out some avatars are .gif and some are .png.

EDIT: sorry for the double post that was bad. i'll just edit this one from now on.

EDIT2: it was .xcf that photobucket won't take. i'll try the png now.

EDIT3: okay what the ******** it didnt work. seriously... do you have to be a premium member? if anyone here is... try to set this as their avatar just for a minute to see if it works. http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr37/bigmack209/didvatar-1.png?t=1223237318
this is what it should look like:

Moderators are not responsible for avatars or anything technical on the site...that's the Administrators' area. But just a guess, I'm assuming some avatars are not working because of the recent move to the MLG servers. I would suggest waiting for a bit to see if they fix themselves, or just try changing your avatar.

I cant see yours anymore Smaci, and mine also died. Ever since stupid MLG came here, avatars have stopped working. Get out of here MLG.

You can have profile pics without being a premium.
Non-premiums have 100x100
Premiums have 300x300
Something like that.

MLG or whoever runs this stupid website should fix this. I NEED my avatar :-D.
can you see my avatar now??....cause I went to someone elses house on a different computer, and I could see it...:confused: so just wondering if you can see it...

if so, then I think I figured out how to solve the avatar problem, and I'll tell you later

lol.. w.h.a.t. did you just insult SWF?

anyway, I noticed that when I placed a custom avatar it won't show up, however, the regular Avi's provided by SWF seem to show up fine.
