Vb.org Avatar Gallery

[Shelley_c]

I was curious what the staffs stance in members submitting a range of avatars to the staff for vb.orgs avatar gallery? Obviously, if staff are welcoming this suggestion avatars would need to be reviewed first and then discussed whether or not the pack would be suitable for their gallery.

I'm not referring to the odd one avatar but a pack of themed avatars maybe 12 or so. Thoughts?

Sorry but i don't get it. You want to submit avatar packs to a gallery? Which gallery? And why would they have to be moderated first?

They can already be submitted to vBulletin Avatar Sets.

No marco, I was asking would staff welcome other avatars submitted to staff by members to be placed in their avatar gallery for other members to choose here. Thus far, members here can choose from the simpsons, futurama garfield catergory here. Would you welcome another themed pack to be submitted to you by members?

I see an avatar as a personal identification. Don't think predefined sets are the way to go. but feel free to share your vision on this.

I have a set of themed Monkey avatars. I was thinking a monkey holding a brush for designer. for coders maybe holding a cog etc and a range of monkey themed avatars expressing different emotions. Because they are all consistent in theme they could be placed in their own catergory.

Here's a preview of some (below)



These are monkeys holding a paintbrush only, though, I could easily alter them with other icons. Being .png and transparent they would look flawless with no redundant background on all of your styles here. They are 80x80 pixels so they are following the dimension rules allowed here both in size and in kb.

As for pre-defined avatars, you have 5 or so catergorys of predefined avatars already. Anyway, I think they would work well here with some design alterations which I would be willing to undertake.

Are you suggesting that if I have not chosen an avatar, I will be given a default avatar of a monkey as mine?

Afraid not dean. Your a bright enough guy, I'm assuming. Do members here who have not choosen an avatar have the (already) pre-defined avatars here placed upon them?

No, but judging from the post above mine, it seemed you were suggesting that I have a monkey avatar if I hadn't already chosen one. Never mind.

I can't see any problems in having some new avatars that can be chosen by users, but why should it stop at your avatars if that's the case. Why shouldn't I be able to design some and have them up there too? Whilst I think yours look cute, the argument against your suggestion would be that everyone should be able to submit them which means work for someone down the line

[Shelley_c]

And I agree with you 100%. Other users should have that privelage, why shouldn't they? I don't recall ever saying I should be the only one. Being the one to suggest it and having the design capabilities I stepped up with the suggestion.

If you read the first post in this thread I did ask about the staffs stance about members (not just shelley) about submitting avatars to staff. Glad i could help you no need to thank me.

that would be cool

I Love those monkeys!
