      Bonus, gives me some extra time to choose a new avatar!
      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

        - should be back in the next hour

        - guests see avatars too. avatars display is unrelated to style setting

        - flags are not server intensive

          You never cease to amaze me, just when I get used to your yes/no answers, you explain something.



          Thanks!

                Well, there's no avatars now either, but I guess they should be turned off permanently during this season of releases like PtW and MoO3, but when the traffic levels get back to more normal, they could be then turned back on. At least the BBS would work abit faster as the number of visitors is now rising when Apolyton newbies are looking for information about these new titles. Or perhaps we should have a special feature that registered members that have been registered prior to ex. August 2002 would have the right to see the avatars.

                    I can see them again, but for about 15 minutes they weren't visible for me.

                      a small change in the code has been made, avatars will be automatically be turned off and on depending on current load

                        Interesting... But could we have a promotional avatar feature that always shows avatars for registered Apolytoners that have been registered prior to a certain date, have a certain post ranking (ex. Warlord) or have the right to use custom avatars?

                                Is this a permanent feature to ensure faster connections?
