lol i was thinking about putting a thread up on the Alley too called "And then..." where you would reply with something but it had to start with "And then" lol. So much for that idea haha

**ChadRC** · 07-09-2011, 09:48 AM

**Desert JATO** · 07-09-2011, 11:30 AM

uh.. got your point guys

**ArmyofDarkness** · 07-09-2011, 12:57 PM

That wasnt aimed at you- that was aimed at the admins; someone promised me they would alter the forum settings so that it fills your screen better ( width ); whoever altered the avatar settings could probably alter that too..

Yeah, that would be helpful if they would do that. Another alternative is holding CTRL and the +/- keys to make the screen bigger/smaller.

Guess I have to order "supersize" with my next pic...

**rag6** · 07-09-2011, 03:44 PM

Just wondering, who came up with "RC Turnbuckle Jr.", and what was the inspiration?

**Desert JATO** · 07-09-2011, 05:50 PM

members here owe you a lot rag6, you're the one who shake heads all of us here to check if the avatar allowed after we all thought that we need 1000K posts to get it.

**ArmyofDarkness** · 07-09-2011, 05:53 PM

It was some salute to a really long standing member or mod who posted lots of helpful stuff back in yee olden days, the admin decided that anyone who attains a certain post count gets the title of Turnbuckle Jr as a way of honouring their helpfulness.

Ofcourse, SucideNeil Jr would make more sense these days....

*runs and hides*

**streetdemon** · 07-10-2011, 12:02 AM

Thanks for the heads up.

**rag6** · 07-11-2011, 01:15 AM

To any and all mods: Does anyone know if the smaller avatars will be avail to any members under rc turnbuckle?

**traxxasbrothers** · 07-11-2011, 03:15 AM

Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Do not use an avatar
Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.

no option to get one

Same here. You need 3,000 posts to get one, even the smaller ones.

**PeterV** · 07-11-2011, 09:04 AM

streetdemon, you have the best Avatar ever. I "LOL"d for real!

**rag6** · 07-11-2011, 01:44 PM

Haha me too, it's contagious.

**rag6** · 07-14-2011, 02:39 AM

Just something else I found. You don't have to re-size the pic. The forum does it for you

**all aluminum** · 07-15-2011, 12:18 PM

Looks like I won't be able to get one for a long time. I joined this forum 2002 and half of my post count was posted this year. Come on Traxxas, hook me up

**rag6** · 07-15-2011, 07:47 PM

C'mon, give the guy a pic!
...A little one at least?

**GlowThunder** · 07-18-2011, 09:43 PM

Here's something for you all to check out. See if it will allow you to do animated GIF images.

oops was directed at Caruy7a

**thedreadedend** · 12-18-2012, 02:00 AM

Doubled up.... sorry

**thedreadedend** · 12-18-2012, 02:51 AM

Well, thanks for the info! I went over the 3000 mark today..looked for the avitar editor, no luck. Sent a few pm's......... Rag6 replied with this thread. While I was waiting for a response, I found this...
I clicked Faq at the top
Then down to Board Faq i clicked settings and profile features
Then on that page, under settings and profile features, I found edit signature, edit avitar, edit profile features
It gave me this page some info that fills in a bit more of the mystery lol. http://traxxas.com/forums/faq.php?fa...atures_avatars

After reading this, I figured it would be there to edit soon as the feature was "enabled". It took about an hour before the "edit avitar" was there but sure enough, it was there. You will find it, may take a few minutes to be added but it'll be there!
Also wanted to mention most of the pix I've tried tonight worked following Rags directions. All of my pix are over 100x100 but under the stated file size (kb) the one I'm using is 600x400 but only 180kb or so. It says "pic must be 100x100 or less than ???kb or wich ever is smaller".

**Nitronaught** · 12-18-2012, 12:42 PM

Well you've dug up a year old thread about it...

Looks like someone was out of the loop last year.. j/k

**rag6** · 12-25-2012, 06:32 PM

It may be a year old, but I do get steady pm's to link it... Maybe you guys could put up a sticky in the alley?

**Double G** · 12-25-2012, 06:51 PM

No need for another sticky. People hardly read the how-to on posting pictures and frequently ask to do so.

**sean1214** · 12-27-2012, 10:14 PM

Just another five years.....

Maybe need a "drivers test" to pass before you can post?
