doc john,
i went back to your original message to all of us about claiming your "custom" avatar by jan. 2009. you mention a drop down menu that existed with the catagory "old avatars." then directions for downloading it on your puter and then uploading it again to p cent. to claim it as "custom". that "drop down menu" did not exist. it doesn't exist now either. i wanted to be sure i had researched this correctly when your notice went out. the alternative was you would lose your avatar. so if i wasn't able to discern the distinction then or now, how can i be forced to lose my avatar? i di what you suggested we do. the site did not follow through with the facts..."old avatars".
not to beat a dead horse but i am truly trying to understand how you made the determination re the procedure for this change in jan.2009. the "procedural" choices did not exist for me.
jan
