    This is probably the last avatar change, so don't feel too pissed off if your rank has been changed. :D

    I've added a couple more avatars & ranks, so look at http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/faq.html to see what was changed.

    Html in 2 of the major forums has not been updated to reflect these changes yet (BG2 & Whatnots) because the bloody server keeps shutting down the update process. I will try to fix them in the upcoming days. Anyway, as soon as any thread in the html is altered, the code will be rewritten and avatar ranking will appear as it should. In the meanwhile, enjoy the confusing avatar pictures & titles. ;)

    Just a suggestion, on tha FAQ page can you put a picture of the avatar underneath it? Then people can see what the will get next.

    [​IMG] Heh, all this avatar business makes it seem that rank progression is the sole point of the boards. :(

    I see Shadow was changed... It used to look silly and confused, and now it looks bossy and strict :D

    [edit] For some people, so paranoid about others abusing their identity: I was speaking of the Shadow avatar, as in a blob of black jell-o from, I s'pose IWD ;)

    [​IMG] Well having a reason (and goal) in posting has proved more beneficial than not since I implemented the avatar system...

    [​IMG] Hah! I thought something was up with the avatars. Too bad I'm not a wolf again. :Doh:
    (Hmm, nothing that looks like a doh smiley)

    Now I guess I'll have to dig around and see what the new shadow looks like; I agree they looked fat and old before.

    [​IMG] You forgot the third trait -- they're derned hard to get rid of! :p Just messing with you, Shadow.

    Speaking of shadows, I think the new shadows are still ugly. They look like fat monks or something. Oh well.

    Ya'll messin' with my brain, here. And Trolls do not go to school!!!!! So 2nd one isn't a trait. 3rd one is not a trait either because Trolls *can* be gotten rid easily. And the 1st is pretty lame!!!!! Because I don't have a temper!!! YOU HEAR ME?!?! ;)
