To compensate, I think I'll wander around the forums and collect a nifty rectangle of badges like CivGen and Apoc. Then who needs an avatar?

Without avatars, I'm forced to look at names more. It used to be that I would catch a person's avatar in my peripheral vision while reading their post, and know who it was I was reading.

I hope so. I got some good ideas for new avatars
I"m drunk so these may not be good ideas.
I was watching the mae4tallic dvd over and over, and they have a canada flag with metallica spary painted over it. That is what I want fo r my avatar. I call it fisrt, so you guys can't use it.
hetfield also has a cool grey iron crooss on his guitar which I was thinking about.

That is to say, the re-appearance will only be "brief" if a suddenly begun and prolonged, significant load on the server is generated thereafter.

Thanks Dan. Now I just have to look out for that brief window to put my customized avatar in.

You should be able to put it in now. You can view it on your control panel or at the main page, apolyton.net. It's everyone else that can't see it for now.

No, I can't. When I tried it, I got this message:
Forum Message
The administrator has disabled the use of avatars.
Not that I've found a good customized avatar yet. So this is just as good to give me some more time.

Right now, my main way of identifying people is signatures. Too few nationalities represented for flags to be of any use.

I used to be able to tell where my last post in a thread was (and hence, where to start reading) by the big star destroyer. Now I can't

You guys think YOU miss avatars?
Try typing  ACK! at the end of every post without Bill the Cat to back it up!

I used to recognize panag by his avatar, now I use the "have a nice day" 
I've ALWAYS recognized you by the "ack" though, as the smiley is colorful, so it stands out

Got myself a nice little flag. Hopefully nobody else is using it.

What is this red cross below the flag? Is that the disabled avatar? How do you get rid off it?

Since I've posted it in quite a few threads, people saying that haven't seen it yet is not going to solicit much sympathy from me.

A weak excuse will still work if it prevents a PCR or banning. 
I just hope we aren't punished as a whole and get avatars pushed back another week.

Maybe if you disable the avatar option on your control panel.
