In your profile you were able to put in a custom picture. Why was it removed? Just because I'm ugly.... :'(

    Eh, I guess they thought people abused it - although I didn't notice anyone abusing it during the beta.

    I'm still pretty happy with my betty netch.

    That's too bad, mine was a great pic. Tiny little 18,5kb crop of a Don Maitz print. Ima miss the little guy :'(

    On another more serious note ..it seems the ability to choose a new avatar is broken.

    I can't get it to work. Won't let me choose one.

    Are the pics greyed out for you guys?

    Aww, that's no fun. I can understand why they did it, but ya know what? I think if we post for a while and show we're good little bears that they should give us the right to have a custom one again! At least that way it should filter out some of the silly heads that put up the obscene ones.

    Wonder if it's a forum rank thing?

    @Greydog
    I have 5 stars, I can't upload a proper profile pic.
    Unless they added a 6th star and nobody has noticed yet, it's nothin to do with forum ranks. :(

    If you mean that only people with higher forum ranks get a saved pic, then I doubt it. It's almost certainly a bug if your pic needs to be added each time you log on - it wouldn't make sense to only allow higher ranked forumers to save their pic.

    I recognize people by avatars... Now that everyone has a bunch of identical avatars, don't expect me to remember your names, because I probably won't.

    I'd like my cat back. Pretty please, ZOS?

    Yeah, me too; it gets annoying/confusing.
    ZOS said they're still working/adding to the forums, so hopefully we'll see an update in the future.

    Or they can just make sure nobody but me is a neon betty netch, I'd be happy if they did that too :P

    @Inversus I was suggesting that the ability to choose from the stock avatars may be a rank thing.

    Were you able to choose that pic, was it assigned to you or did you have it already?

    I was able to choose a pick out of the list.
    I've seen many people using similar pictures, I've even seen a lower ranked betty netch, so I'm pretty certain it's not to do with ranks.
    Even 1 stars have been able to choose their pic from the list.

    Ok, just trying to ferret this out. Guess I'll contact support then.

    I can understand that. I didn't mean to say adding own avatars is bad. I hope they will add this option for everyone who wants an own picture.

    Well, with a forum name like that, I really don't even want to imagine what your picture would have been!

    :p

    I promise my previous pic wasn't bad.

    Looks better than the sweet roll... which kinda looks like poo.

    Abuse would be my guess. Or prevention of it, as you've more people and a lot more activity than before. That much more effort to moderate.

    They also removed custom signatures as well. While for the most part the avatars were not a big deal, some of the signatures were WAY out of hand in terms of physical size, a post of one sentence wound up taking up half the screen because of a monstrous signature.

    I do miss my monkey avatar, but at least I still have him in game.

    Maybe its better that there is only pre-made avatars than upload own, for example bugfield4 tag "art" makes understandable to not have custom image chance.
