Seems that I discovered a bug here. It also seems that a bunch of you have changed your avatars, however. Did you all do it in Opera? Or is the problem fixed now?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

There's a trick you can use, but it might result in a ban. Cybershy used it to change his title to "Moderator," and Skanky used it to mess with his flag.

So, you can just blame Skanky.

Er, I've never bought or consumed corn, store-brand or any other sort, from the supermarket so I don't comprehend this comparison. Is store-brand corn good then?

And no, Skanky had nothing to do with my avatar changing. I just did it normally. :P

Speaking of IE 5, the faulty avatar problem (where people who hadn't uploaded a new avatar in ages had a square with a red X at the corner) has seemed to have vanished

Mark has probably been super busy trying to keep the server running, which might also be the problem with why you can't change your avatar. they keep getting turned off every other hour or so. that has to do something to the code

No, its not related to the avatars being on or off. Besides the fact that they don't work regardless of whether avatars are on or off, when you click submit, you get a little error down the bottom of your page. Removing the small section of code that causes that error allows you to change your avatar at will (again, regardless of whether avatars are on or off at that particular moment).
