AVATARS

[Something Amyss]

Couldn't find my old one. Ironically, I have a version saved I can't use.

So I went with a temp avatar. I don't think I'm going to keep it, but I can't think of a good idea right now.

I feel like I'm missing out. I haven't had any issues with avatars, randomly colored borders, or a pub upgrade.
Maybe I haven't been on enough or at the right time to experience it.

We have the same thing going on in GameTrailers. Seems like everyone over at GT from 2014 and earlier got a free premium upgrade. I myself have a premium upgrade at GT, but not here on the escapist.

So the free upgrade may be related to join date oddly enough.

*looks at self* And nothing has changed... DAMMIT! I though kissing that frog would make me a princess and shit!

Spoiler: Fuck it! I'm bouncing out of here!

Other than that, I can recognize everyone fine, anyway... because I look at usernames more than their avatars these days...

 

[Sleepy Sol]

My avatar reverted to my previous one that I was last using before my PubClub expired. I change my avatar so often anyways, though, so it is once again different. Wouldn't doubt that I'll get tired of this one before a few days pass.

I just reuploaded my old one since I haven't had any new ones made recently. Granted I have probably over a dozen that I would like made at some point or another, but I'm in no hurry.

I took this opportunity to go mincing on the edge of the precipice of lewdness.

Have you tried clicking the profile image in the top right corner (next to the messages box)? That seemed to have fixed it for me.

Most stuff like that can be fixed by some session refression - log out, clear your cache and log back in, then set the new avatar and give it a few minutes to update.

Problem fixed. It was something on my end.

I took the opportunity to update to the avatar I've been using on other sites for the past several months. (Credit to my friend Harsh Boogie [http://discount-supervillain.tumblr.com/] for drawing what has to be one of the more random requests he's ever gotten)

Not that it really matters. I hardly comment here. And at the rate the site is dying, it's a little late to start, unfortunately.

 

[Plucky]

I just used the same picture but redone it for a bigger size. squeezed in a bit more. EDIT: really just like what the artist done for me, using it is the least i can do.

 

[Aeshi]

Yeah, mine's disappeared about twice a day so far. Couldn't find the image I used for my old one anymore so fuck it, time for a change!

 

[IceForce]

Ah yes, that's much better. Fits my personality perfectly.

I believe you need to have been here at least 6 months to get the random upgrade (amongst other requirements, but that seems like the pertinent one)

 

[Scarim Coral]

Technically I should had changed my avatar a year or two ago. I used to change my avatar per MLP season but I got lazy and stop asking a person who can make a gif, make a pony gif for me.

Is that why my avatar went from the Black Mesa logo to the default no avatar image?

 

[CrazyGirl17]

I lost my old avatar, tried replacing it but nothing happened. Maybe I'll try again later.

I see the ZP Imp, holding an exclamation point.

Er... that seems to be the only one that seems to work for me. It's kinda annoying...

 

[Andy Shandy]

I didn't actually have issues, it just went back to my Hugh Laurie from Blackadder one. However, I did use this opportunity to change it to the one I have now. It amuses me.

Yep. You have been chosen to be upgraded to premium! Like just about everyone else! Until Monday, or so I hear.

Yep. You have been chosen to be upgraded to premium! Like just about everyone else! Until Monday, or so I hear.

Should I even bother then to make (or request someone else to do it) a new big flashy avatar?

No idea, really. I'm kind of hoping they let us keep it but I kind of suspect they won't.

Getting a custom title is low effort though! And I'm not sure if those stick around
