Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
But this only displays my profile pic, and does so only for thise whom have crossed in the options you showed. You for example have a real photo as profile pic, but an animated avatar of a rabbit. So im still stuck with the Young western general dude as my avatar :( How did you get the animated rabbit over the stock photos in simple?
( the reason two pictures are shown is because ive checked all three options under thread display options )

Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
Can you post or PM me the avatar you want to use?

Exactly, have 'Avatars' un-ticked/turned off if you want to remove the bottom rabbit.

Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
But then i still do not use a custom avatar, i only view profile pics instead.
I view both Profile pic and avatar as you saw.
To clarify, i wish to use a custom avatar not simply display profile myself.
Throwing a PM to Andras to see if he can aid me
Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
That is only a name issue. The profile picture is the custom avatar function.
It is an opt-in system. Having the theme-avatars and unable to change them is entirely intended.

Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
So you having a custom avatar ( humor my name issue ) is due to being a moderator, thus its not possible to really have an custom avatar for regular users?
Only those whom view profile pics will see my opt-in avatar while everyone else still see my theme avatar.
Thus it should be stated that you cannot have a custom avatar to remove the confusion, but you can opt-in to display your profile pic instead for those whom view profiles.
Well, not much i can do then

Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
Moderators and admins have access to a restricted avatar set (assassins and spies mainly), this is the tradition we have used with the TW themed avatars. Some mods have gotten slightly customized avatars in the same theme. Tiaexz is just different.
There are some regular members with customized avatars, but if I recall correctly they are all somewhat TW related.

Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
This is a slightly modified one from which regular users can use, this is to distinguish moderators and staff from regular users in a minor way.
HopAlongBunny has the normal version.

Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
Tis as i feared, now then:
I shall have to get TW related somehow
Hopefully being a constant presence in hotseating shall be enough
Re: I wish to use a custom avatar
And as I explained about a year ago, it is not the "custom avatar function"... it is simply a means of displaying the profile picture in the post bit - and as far as I am aware it's a hack, not a built in feature.
The custom avatar function (upload avatar or link to offsite avatar) is built into vBulletin and pretty much every other messageboard software - it's simply a matter of turning it on.
That's precisely what it is.
