Now members that don't have an avatar

[tim]

Now members that don't have an avatar will get a default dynamically generated generic avatar that has a random color and 1st letter (large) and first 10 characters of their username (small) as an avatar.

for example Sandy will have this avatar

Karl would have this avatar

Just changed it so it does 2 letters (1st letter capitalized) (2nd letter lowercase).
I think it looks neater like an element on the periodic table....because we're all elemental LOL

and essential elements, at that.

Nicely done, very attractive.

Thanks Lenny,
How long have I been using phpbb forum? I just discovered that i can have avatar galleries so members can easily change their avatar to one of the avatars in any gallery...so for now I just added resized (90px by 90px) art works as a first gallery.
Some avatars in the gallery can be seen below.

If in the future people want to contribute to our collection avatars, I can create different categories and upload them so everyone else can easily set as their avatar....
Just upload to this topic I guess if you want to contribute.
A great feature discovered.

Oh yeah , instead of "Upload avatar" you just click the drop down and select gallery and it'll show you the gallery option where you could potentially select different galleries...we just have one gallery right now.

just added 100 images/avatars into "This artwork doesnt exist" gallery.

As I've scanned over the board the last few months, Tim, I've noticed that you always find the coolest links to things. Links to websites that are useful and interesting yet, not widely known about.

Anyway, I created an avatar after seeing this thread and remembering that I had neglected to do so when signing up. I'm no longer a blank.

that's great your avatar's head is round like a baseball

Yeah, I guess it is. I might have to shape it like a football kind of like Stewie's head on Family Guy. It's representing my college's football team, the Alabama Crimson Tide.
