new board format???

Hey Okie:

have all the avatars been fixed yet? mine seems to be still broke, not a big deal, and not nagging, its just that it did take me years of a$$ kissing to get that so it would be a shame if it got lost in the move :joke:

also, what are them 6 little squares all about??? i think i have 3 boxes lit.

thanks!

 

[oldguy]

the avatars are being repositioned or fixed as Okie, thump and lou can find them.
The blue boxes relate to number of posts (see the forum forum)

Dont feel left out.. mine isnt what it used to be either!!!

 

[Crispy]

:yeehaw: Oh wait!!! Never mind... the Gradn BooBah fixed mine... Thank you big brother!

 

[Okiewan]

Like Dave said, we are fixing them as we find the images... some are perm. lost however. Do you have a copy of your avatar? If so, let me know.

 

[bclapham]

sorry Okie, i never thought to make a copy. no big deal if you cant find it though.

 

[Okiewan]

It might turn-up ... until then, I'll put the STM avatar up.

 

[biglou]

Isn't there a way to "go back in time" on the internet and view things from days gone by? Could the missing avatars be snagged from that? Seems like I remember seeing threads with links to DRN from way back...

 

[biglou]

Never mind. Just found it. Couldn't find an archived page with the avatar. Just archived main pages.

 

[MrLuckey]

I know that in the past I have saved threads (1 page at a time) to my hard drive....I'll look to see what I might have on the home computer. Unfortunately I just wiped out my old laptop where i think most of it was. I'd be money someone out there has the avatars and doesn't realize it.

Maybe if we had a list of missing avatars the people who have saved pages could browse around their machines for them.

 

[Smit-Dog]

Look in the cache folder(s) on your hard drive that the brower uses. I'd bet someone has it stored there.

 

[MrLuckey]

I thought of that too Smit but most everyone has been clearing cookies, deleting temp files etc...worth a shot still.

I'm betting money a lot of folks have saved threads.

It looks like the custom avatars have names like "avatar16119_3.gif". Maybe folks can just search their hard drives for (avatar*.gif)

WOOHOO Kiwi just found Bruce's and Randy's... Chatters are on the job!

 

[Smit-Dog]

I have 45 avatars in the internet temp cache on my home PC. Haven't checked the other 2 machines yet.

Who's missing one?

What did it look like? The mad scientist guy?

Do you have an example? :laugh:

 

[RM_guy]

I was wondering what the boxes were for. I gotta take the time to look around more...

 

[Okiewan]

Thanks Kiwi!

 

[KiwiBird]

No worries mate.
