I really like PI's idea, but 500 seems better.  So, (I think) it would work like this:

0-100 = 1d4
101-200 = 2d4

501-600 = 1d6
601-700 = 2d6

1001-1100 = 1d8
1101-1200 = 2d8

1501-1600 = 1d10
 etc...

Up to 2501, where you would get your first d20, capping out at 3000 with the 5d20.

At least, that's the way I understood it (with a minor edit)

Meg -- any chance of increasing the allowed avatar size?

Answering here-- I changed the settings for avatars.  Now, oversized avatars will be rejected instead of being resized.  I also up'ed the image size.  (80x80)

It looks though like avatars that are already on here are getting by the limit.  So if you have a big avatar, resize it!  Or else when I find it, I'm going to delete it and make you upload it again!

I have never tinkered with forum mechanics (been moderating a few, but I wasn't really in touch with the actual mechanics), so I'd like to know how difficult it is to make the forum accept animated avatars? On forums I give a crap about I have two avatars (WotC is an exception as you might figure) I use interchangeably depending on whether animated ones are accepted.

This is not a request, so no need to change anything, I like my Joker avatar. I'd just like to know the difference.

I have no idea.  Do they not accept them now?  It's probably set up to accept certain file types and I know I didn't see any list of types to accept or deny.

Initially I tried my animated avatar and it didn't work, so I suppose it still doesn't work. I'll check how it is now.

Edit: Oddly enough, now the animated avatar works normally o_O

The boards it has raised terror on it is known as the PPP. Not like the acronym helped you, because all the letters come from Finnish words...

Thanks for the answer.

My avatar isn't uploaded; it's linked. Are you still going to delete me?

Guess I'll have to find time to resize; and figure out how to do it...

No, yours isn't outrageous.  I can't even really tell that it is oversized.

Well, you can always download the picture, modify it on your PC, and upload it.  I don't know if you have any good image editing software or not.

If you want something free, you can always download GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/).  Once you have the image opened, go to Image > Scale Image.  Change the largest dimension (Y in your case) to 80, and the other should scale for you.  It will reduce it down to size and do a decent job with antialising.

You can PM me if you need anything more.

Or you could just be so legendary that someone else would automatically do it for you.



But if you fix yours, I can't have an excuse to slip a few extra pixels into mine when I get around to it. *pout*

Heh. I think this might be the first time I've been called legendary.  :blush

Thanks for the image edit, Yeller.  :drunk

Paint is awesome for image editing. Clearly some people aren't used to fix all image-related problems with it...

FYI: I changed the boards to be on Eastern Time.  So now default logging will be done in EST.

And, actually, I have a question.

What are the forum rules on advertising? I have products coming out soon-ish, and I have friends who have products coming out soon-ish. Is it cool to start a thread to tell folks about them?

Meg/Josh: I just noticed the "New" thread image is working. Did you finally manage to replace it or what? I'm very happy. And very curious :confused
