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.

I'm not sure, but it could be because your avatar was one of the ones used by another member before the board transfer. Once it was claimed it may have dissapeared?

Just what I was thinking but Im not entirely sure.

I'm sorry you have had some trouble with this but 'old avatars' was definitely on the drop down list up until the time that DocJohn specified. Did you contact admin about this before? I suggest that you always kept the custom avatar you want in 'my pictures' part of your computer and/or maybe use a hosting site like photobucket then your avatar won't ever get lost.
