Avatar directionality page 1

I generally choose my avatars so that whatever is in them is facing towards the text. That way it looks like my avatar is doing the talking! If I find something I like a lot but which is looking the wrong way, I download it and flip the image to make it work.

Does anybody else have this as a consideration when selecting avatars?

Sometimes. Sometimes I like for the avatar to look straight ahead, directly at the reader.

Way back when I had a series of avatars that were stills from an old black and white movie. Each image was of the same persion, but facing different directions and with different facial expressions. I didn't notice what I was doing at first, but the order in which I changed the avatar caused her to spin completely around, with her expression going from calm to frenzied.

Dammit, I never noticed before. Now all my comments will look like they've been posted by a self-absorbed, overly-emotional soap-opera queen who gives not two shits about what other people have to say.

Hopefully not representing your actual emotional state. :p

I actually own this album. It was in my family since before I was born. It's pretty bizarre.

Thanks for this, I've turned my avatar round. But now it looks like I don't know whether I'm coming or going.

Is there a ^Your Posts^ link? page 1

Mr. Mellow 14th January 2012, 01:50 AM Aside from subscribing to every thread you post in, is there an equivalent to the "Your Posts" link that could be turned on? Or, an equally easy way to check for subsequent replies to threads I've posted to? oblivion 14th January 2012, 02:49 AM you can see your posts and threads you've started. If you click your name at the right top of the page, you'll go to your profile page. there is a statistics tab. click that and you'll see links to your recent (last 1000) posts and recent threads you've started. In a thread, you can click your name beside your post and get a list of links. One of those links is your recent posts. Mr. Mellow 14th January 2012, 05:55 AM Oh, yes, I know about that. The "Your Posts" link that both Ratz (top of their page) and Ratskept use takes you not only to the thread you've posted in, but to the latest unread post in that thread, in one step. This is actually what I'm in

should members be able to change their votes in polls? page 1

oblivion 16th January 2012, 03:42 PM In the thread about showing member post counts, Seraph asked the following: ... Oh, and on a tangent: Can polls be configured to allow revoting? vanilla vbulletin doesn't have a member-vote-change feature. admins can change the vote tally if a person requests, but it's a manual thing and only affects the count, not the record of who voted for what. I found a vbulletin hack that allows members to change their votes. It also lets people write-in their own poll options and vote for it. When setting up the poll, it looks like the OPer can decide whether to enable vote-changing or not. An admin can modify this after the fact. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=198535 The hack is for version 3.7, but from reading the replies, people have installed it on 3.8 versions successfully. Anyway, I figure step one is to talk about whether we'd like this functionality. ConvolutedLogic 16th January 2012, 03:48 PM I don'
