Development Corner Change & Custom Avatars

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Development Corner has now been restructured a bit. There are basicly 2 major changes.

The General Development Discussion forum has been added. This forum is for all Polls, Ideas and requests you may have aside from just general modding discussion. This forum will also take misc questions that don't fall under any of the other forums, such as the Object Editor, Import Editor, Campaign editor etc.

The Trigger Haven will now work mostly like how the old Map Development forum was. All Triggering questions will go there. Including Triggering Spells and the whole nine yards.

The SLK/Object Editing forum has been deleted due to loss of activity. All questions about this area should now go to the General Development Discussion.

The reason for this change is due to the incredible activeness in the old Map Development that it was hard for moderators to moderate it all. A Thread would fall of the first page in a matter of hours, and many people would not get attention due to this.
Now it is split, and moderators have more specialized field to focus on.

EDIT: And now General Development Conversations stay on the first page for more time (like polls) and don't get drowned by Trigger Questions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Also - Custom Avatars

We have now made a change to allow everybody to get themselves Custom Avatars again. The option is available in your User Control Panel on the left hand link bar. Each avatar is limited to 100kb and 100 x 100. [Note upload is currently NOT working for everyone, you can still link from an outside source]

EDIT: You will still be able to use the avatars in the Avatar-Ladder, and it will work by post-count.

However, avatars (and sigs, for that matter) with offensive content will be Removed.

Another feature called profile picture has also been enabled, you may choose to upload a picture of yourself, the same rules apply. The Point system will also soon be closed down. However, more about that later.

Hail The admins! I knew that the custom avatar thing wouldn't last ;)

Edit: when i try using the custom avatar it dosen't work, i geuss considering that this is just happening that it's not completly set up1
Edit2: Well, it seems to work when you LINK to something, yet not when you upload something, odd.

You might need to attach in the thread in Off-Topic forum for now and use the link method.

Wasn't working via linking or uploading for me, either, but then like 5 minutes passes and suddenly it did work. -_- Don't ask me.

Thanks once again for bringing them back. =)
