Is there any way to upload an avatar? Am I just not seeing it? All I seem to be able to find is the gallery of pregenerated ones.

QUOTE(Jab @ Dec 10 2005, 02:10 PM) I don't think, that this "portrait policy" is wise. Modders, admins have their ranks (and that's OK). But portrait is just for a good feeling. There is a question, what's your "target group". If this forum is just for discussion between modders, than it's all right. I like BWL, but your forum is the worst (compare to other modding communities). Graphic is really nice but also chaotic. Maybe you should work on nicer atmosphere, which will attract new users. Not everybody has a time (and interest) for "competitors fight" because of one forum (and portrait  ).P.S. We had a discussion on this topic with Vlasák yesterday. Maybe he "stored" more of my arguments.  I have to agree that the logic of the "portrait policy" evades me. If it serves the purpose to destiguish forum members from BWL council, modders and other contributors, it may well be acomplished using the stars system. Council members have red stars, modders blue(or purple depending on the monitor) and so forth... If it is done for saving space, I really don't think it can be an issue, since portrait of that size, especially if they are jpegs can be obout 4-6 kb. Even if we had 1000 forum members, that makes in the worst scenario 6kb*1000=6000kb which is very small space. Portrait size can also be limited to let's say 10 kb top preserve server space. But about the atmosphere - I think BWL is the cleanest and warmest server on RPGing that I've seen. Just look at the colour scheme - the colours make you feel comfortable and at home. Take the g3 fro example - all white, as if you are in a snowstorm. PPG - white, gray and a little blue. Other forums - varying from brown to complete black. Shall i go on? Chaotic graphics? Where exactly did you see them? Perhaps the BWL logo? Which is one of the few graphical elements on the forum, except for the avatars and the smilies. -------------------- Blessed be the one who has nothing to say, and yet remains silent.
