Avatars Are Now Available for GC Supporting Members

[John]

Avatars are now available for GC supporting members / subscribers.

We've discussed the possibility of using avatars on GC several times in the past. I realize that there are some members who prefer using the forums without avatars being displayed within discussion threads. For anyone who does not want to see avatars displayed within threads, it's easy to turn them off. To do so, go to Edit Options within your UserCP, scroll a bit more than half way down the page to the "Visible Post Elements" section, uncheck the "Show Avatars" option and then click "save changes" at the bottom of that page.

So how do we add an avatar?

Instructions here.

It says I lack those privileges. I'm pretty sure I subscribed. Strange.

I just subscribed and I expect it will be a little while before my account gets "upgraded."

(Kind of on the fence about an avatar. Don't know what the choices are.)

John, appreciate you making the improvements and continuing to maintain the site/forum/etc.

Mine was "upgraded" immediately

I followed John's instructions, but it said I didn't have access. Oh well, I guess it works for some and others it doesn't. I want an avatar.

Everything seems to have gone through fine with your account subscription upgrade. It might have something to do with you also being a moderator, maybe a conflict in settings somewhere. I'm working on it and also replied to your PM.

For anyone who has subscribed, if you cannot see this linked thread then please send a private message to let me know as you should now be able to see it.

Don't worry, I'll get it all sorted out very soon. This is the first time I've done this type of setup on a forum, so it might take a few days to get everything working exactly right with automated account upgrades, etc.

The link John sent me worked for me. Haven't explored anything yet.

ETA: things work. Witness one of my Belgian Tervurens as my avatar. Woof!

Here's what your link gets me:


vBulletin Message
Kevin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I know you're working on it, but just FYI, it's still not working.

Testing my avatar. The links all worked for me.

Take your time. And thanks.

The magic link of mystery isn't working for me, either, but I understand that these things take time so I'm willing to wait

I can't wait to get paid!!
