Not adding any more avatars to the 'reserved' folder...

Post by Bamfette »

what the subject says. the forum has gotten too big, with too many members for me to do this anymore, and i am fed up with people not getting that those avatars are not for them and using them anyway. I wont delete the folder. if you have an avatar in there, don't worry, it will still be there. but if you want a custom avatar you must now get your OWN webspace. really, it's not hard, and there are several free hosts. I'll list a few for you to make it extra easy:

http://www.photobucket.com/
http://www.angelfire.com/
http://www.villagephotos.com/
... i'll add a few more as i find good hosts


and if you can't get your image to show up here, it's not us, it's your host. try another. Geocities is a good example of a host where the image will show up broken over here, becuase they forbid direct linking.

This makes sense Jill. You guys already do enough here on NS and as you said it really isn't hard to find free webhosting for your images.;)

I can only imagine what you have been going through. :X

Well, yes! I've been using village photos and it's been working quite fine for me. And the other places. Come on people, it ain't hard if you ain't lazy. :P Even then, it doesn't take too long...
