Couple of questions for the powers that be.........

   1) Why restrtict avatar size if nearly everyone gets around it one way or another, including moderators? 2) How do I get around the size restriction so that I can break the rules too? (I won't go too crazy, just big enough to see all of Gene's face) 3) Most boards I post on tell you at the bottom of the message area who else is veiwing the same thread. Here you can only see who is in the same forum from the index screen and I have noticed that when tradeing posts with some members that their name isn't even shown there... Why is this?

Here you can only see who is in the same forum from the index screen and I have noticed that when tradeing posts with some members that their name isn't even shown there... Why is this? @1) Many of the rules posted here at Filecabi.Net are not strictly enforced. We do not like strong arm enforcement and are pretty lenient about the rules. It is only when it is noticed that the size/subject of ones avatar or signature is interfering with the way the site operates do we request that the member change it. @2) Dunno how to get around it...if I did, probably wouldn't post it here. Ya see, if I posted it, peeps would make their avatars the size of Texas and we would have to enforce the rules! So, as someone who doesn't get paid to do this job, I want to make it as easy as possible! @3) You have the option of hiding your signature by clicking on the appropriate block on individual profiles

   SORRY, Duuuuuuuude... Never knew that your avatar was Gene Simmons.... here are a couple of others you can use as an avatar if you like. http://images.ciao.com/iuk/images/products/normal/816/Gen…q-gene-kiss-ma.jpg...http://www.its-official.com/covers/creatures.jpg...http:/…

   (sorry ozzie) there is no way to get past the size limit if filecabi's server hosts you picture so you must hot link it. (see below) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/beercandle/filecabin… you must use the link off-site avatar box, and use a image hosting site such as imageshack.us or photobucket.com. after you upload your pic to photobucket you look for the link. (see below) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/beercandle/filecabin… then put that code into the off-site avatar box and click submit! your done!! :D :D

Ace, it seems as though you avatar is hosted by imageshack.us, not filecabi's server.. :D http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/beercandle/filecabin…

   dude anyone can host pics on cabi they don't have to be a mod to do it. check out my cabi userbar its cabi hosted while tech-guy's imageshack hosted. I will make a newer smaller avatar and then host that one on cabi.

   eh, i dont care... just tryin to help scooter, didnt want to start a little war :) EDIT: no no, Ace scooter wanted a avatar larger than 100x100 pixels, and larger than 9kb. i know anyone can host their avatar on cabi, because mine is :D , yet cabi's server wont except a avatar larger than 100x100 pixels nor larger than 9kb. thats why i was showing him how to hotlink it :D :D.

   I was just cruizin the Inet one time and had "GOOGLED" bear images for a new Tattoo when I came across my Avatar. I liked it so I left clicked on it and it appeared at the top of my screen with a little box saying "see full size image". I left click on that...Rt click on the Image, Lf click on "Properties"..... A grey page/file shows and I Rt click on it w/cursor on URL, Lf click on "select all", Rt click Dk Blue URL, Lf click on "copy" Then I take that to the bottom of my Profile Page and insert in "Link to off site avatar" box. No "ImageShack" or other sites needed!

    I'll host anyone's sig/avatar that needs it...loads faster than imageshack or photobucket and it won't get deleted or expire. Just PM me the link to the image or e-mail it to me at danielns84 at agentstepp.com and I'll PM/e-mail you back the link @ agentstepp.com.
