GW, it is not necessary to download (save picture) then re-upload it to shrapnel.

1) Simply take note of the filename when you choose 'save picture as'(ie: 1039607074.gif)

2) Right click on any of my more recent avatars and choose 'Copy shortcut'

3) Past the link in your profile (ie: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/12345678.gif)

4) Change the file name to match the avatar you noted above. (should look something like this.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...039607074.gif)

5) apply the changes and you should have a new avatar.

Simple eh?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Not scared enough! It's a big, bad, nasty world out there... If I come I out, you won't let that big, bad, nasty Baron G. beat up on me again, will you?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars

Too bad they aren't all on one page so we can watch them load sequentially for ten minutes on a broadband connection http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

That's one thing I love about the avatar emporium.
I can take a minute to just watch my computer hum away loading row after row of avatars.

There are so few things that take time on the computer and that you can sit back and watch the progress (not a progress bar)... and they're such nice avatars.

hmmmm,.. I check under the hood of the Avatar Emporium to verify a hunch... Yup, just as I thought, the emporium is powered by 'Energizer Batteries'. Strange,.. I could have sworn I put 'Duracel' inside. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

SJ, you could always go to the file menu and 'save as..' and choose 'Save as type - web page complete' then you would have a copy of the emporium locally on your hard drive. (it should then load a tiny bit faster. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars

Hey! I just fell on a site while searching for avatars (checking out the compitition.) and found this site...
Avatars or Shipsets?

the avatars are a bit big, but there are some nice looking shipsets in there, might be worth looking into 'borrowing' them for se4.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: Forget about 'borrowing' the shipsets, I just found out what they are from,.. an upcomming game called "Stars! Supernove Genesis".

I hear that one's been "upcoming" for many many years now, and will probably never see the light of day because they insist on retail sales, and won't take shrapnel for an answer...
