Avatars

[billyfridge]

Why does'nt the K-Lite board ask Chip at Diet Kazaa to show them how to fix a
program or whatever, to upload avatars from our pc's he's done it, he's put a button on and all you do is click and upload. or is'nt that ethical, is there rivalry between them. i'm not sure about this post i might get kicked off,

Just upload your avatar to: http://www.uploadit.org/

Then copy and paste the link to the 'My Controls'>Edit Avatar Settings and click [Update Avatar].

That simple no need to create programs.

But why should this site host YOUR avatar?

[TheMusicMan]

Hosting avatars or any other images can result in bad troubles since people could upload something "bad".

The problem is that the forum admins are responsible for files on the server meaning if people would upload sick stuff the admins will get in trouble - same for me as the host.

I hosted a small board once and because of one user 180 &#33; servers were shut down due investigation - it&#39;s simply not worth it

So what. This is only a few clicks more. Are you really that lazy?

I was just about to ask that.

Another thing that darker didnt mention is that the website hosts of the board only allocate them so much space on their servers for stuff like this. If they host OUR stuff on here too, then that leaves less space for thread expansion. Besides, it&#39;s not hard to find a free webhost online, your ISP prolly provides ya one.

edit: GRRRRRRRRR.....I had to go back and click the "add reply" button 4 TIMES before getting this reply to kick in. Hitting it was just sending me back to the main page without submitting my reply. Doesnt do it with edits, jsut fresh replies. GRRRRRRRRR

I&#39;m not asking the board to host an avatar. I&#39;m just saying i find it difficult to get an avatar off a website. i&#39;m not a proficient pc user, not everyone&#39;s an expert.
i couldn&#39;t do it so i didnt have one, when i found the button i uploaded from my pc
i thought you might like to know thats all, no big deal, sorry i mentioned it.
