New Posting Features - [tk] Egg Avatar

A Support Project using the vBulletin Project Tool has been created to support this mod. Please make use of it if you can. Timely support will still be given in this thread, however, use of the project tool is appreciated because:

1. I paid for it
2. It makes searching for problems already asked by other users, and possibly solved, much easier than this long thread.
3. It helps organize and manage issues for me, which will become even more useful as I release more mods.

Description:
Ever want to throw something at someone when you read a post? Now you can! Eggs, kisses, bullets, and more.

Special Notes:

• Due to some complicated issues involving the coding for animated gifs, largely black eggs (like the bullethole) do not display properly. All that is required, if you make or find your own eggs, is that large black areas be converted to a dark grey or dark blue. I've already done this with the newest bullethole.gif, and as you can see it's not a big issue but I wanted to make everyone aware of it.
• If you wish to uninstall please upgrade to the lastest version first, as older versions may not uninstall cleanly.

Upcoming 2.5 new features

• Automatic (optional) integration with [tk] Post Notes (post note of "Username: Threw a <thing> at you." or "Username: Gave you a <thing>" etc.
• Long promised post stats (how many times a post has been egged, etc.)

Features:

• Fully Phrased.
• Fully AJAX.
• Can be configured to work with any credits system, or not use credits (default).
• Comes configured for vbCredits (just turn on 'Enable Credits' in the admincp options).
• Integrated with vB Optimise.
• Manage your own egg images (enable/disable/delete/add).
• Optionally have eggings effect user reputation.
• Optional 'Who Egged Me' display in UserCP.
• 'Eggs' can be cleaned away.
• Entire avatars can be wiped clean.
• Usergroup support for viewing, using, cleaning own and cleaning others.
• Very configurable.
• Handles animated avatars (animation stops when egged, starts again when cleaned).
• Fully supports both GD and ImageMagick. Animated avatars do not stop in ImageMagick.
• Optional Statistics in What's Going On.

Did you rebuild your avatars from inside your AdminCP? I had to rebuild them... however this mod has far too many bugs to keep on my board so I had to kill it dead! It can be bad news in its current state...

Mods love it. Works great, no issues at all.... Very creative. Installed and thank you.

Fantastic and works a treat.... a very funny mod, my mods site staff will love this.... i'm only giving them the access to egg people.

I spotted this also, but never deleted it. The system work fine for me.

Only problem I have is after an hour the images do not disappear, more like 5 hours.

When you try and clean it, it says it already is clean. So we have a cache problem.

Not supported so I would say don't install it.

My Post Wh*res were having issues with each other last weekend, so I turned this on the next morning and let them sling it out with tomatoes and paint and eggs. They all calmed down for a bit and had some fun. (Well, until this weekend, but that's life!)

I just installed this and seems to be okay so far.
