  • Avatar positioning

    The current version of vBulletin places avatars on the top of the post. I figured out how to place them on the side which is what I think most are accustomed to. But let me know if you prefer one way vs. the other.

    When I try to edit my avatar, I have one option:

    "Do not use an avatar".

          As Seattle would testify, I generally prefer on top. This is one time where sideways is the preferred position.

          Also, a few other items for the queue:

          1. Flash chat....are we going to have that option?
          2. quoting in messages....for some reason, when you reply to quote, the quote appears AFTER the text, as opposed to before. Am I doing something wrong?
          3. CJF praised the new 100 posts per page format. I prefer the old way. How do I switch it back to limit posts per page?
          4. and does anyone know how to get more smilies here? The SC board has a TON of them and they can often be used in very humorous ways. Can I import them?

            It should be a setting in your Control Panel: "Number of Posts to Show Per Page"

              Answers:

              (1) Why don't you research it for us? Google FlashChat.
              (2) I am not following you here. Can you give more details?
              (3) Go to your user cp > edit options > Number of Posts to Show Per Page
              (4) That'll be down my priority list.

                  Find a picture either online or on your computer you like. Then go into your User CP and click on Edit Avatar. If you're using a picture you found online just enter the URL where it is listed. The easiest way to do that is to search Google for an image. Because you're restricted as to how large a file you can use, I set the search parameters to small image size. Then when I find a picture I right click on it and then click Go To Image Location which should give you the URL where the picture is hosted. To use an image on your computer just browse for the file on your computer. When you find it select it. Then save changes. That should do it.

                      Guys, I may not be the best person to research this. I have no clue what any of it means.

                      I did come across this link, which makes it seem pretty easy to do, but then again I have no idea what version we are using.

                      http://www.tufat.com/docs/flashchat/vbulletin.html

                      Truthfully, the chat function is nice for football and basketball games. Rocky gave us a play by play over at CB for the LBSU basketball game. it was a nice option for those that can't watch the game live.

                      I now have a bigger problem. Our A/C doesn't seem to be working. You can hear the main fan blowing, but no air is coming out the vents, much less cold air. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

                        Check the fan belt.

                          dude, I have NO idea what the heck that even means. that sounds like it requires tools. And with tools, that means "fixing" things. My ability to fix things entails looking online or in a phone book for someone to come over.

                          How pathetic I am. Honestly, where would I even find this fan belt? Is it in near the fuse box? Or in the attic? I have no clue. I know where the water heater is.

                              I didn't have an avatar at CG because (a) I have no skills, and (b) notwithstanding the brand identity, the Monty Burns thing on CB and Utefans seems a bit dated. But inspired by the Dude's excellent efforts the past few days, I devoted three minutes, at least, to the project and have generated an avatar, a photo of me from my summer job in Juarez.

                              And given it's rivalry week, I regard this as an homage to the late Mr. Crimson, which I know mpfunk will appreciate.
