As far as i can see, there is no longer possible to upload a custom avatar, or link to one. Is that feature turned off? Is it supposed to be turned off?

And btw, shouldn't the new moderators be put in the moderator group? Cause we don't have access to the "moderator's only" forum - and it still says "registered user" under our username.

@sens

what he meant was that the moderators had "registered user" under their name, instead of "moderator"...it is not that registererd users become moderators...

@7250i_user

currently nobody can upload costum avatars. the ones you see have been uploaded before the forum's upgrade, when that option was available.
same goes with the user titles ("registered users" etc.). the option of changing them has been disabled too. moderators also can't change it..

Mr. Yotamz,

I understood but what is the way in the hierarchy of the NFREE community to become a moderator ? I suggest to turn back the old ranks like : junior member, member, senior, veteran and so on, because I think that it rises some kind of respect from new users to senior users.
Thanks a lot !!!

@sens
there is not a certain way to become a moderator, the way i became a moderator is that the forum has been re-organised, and many sections have been added, and so more moderators were needed.
in the end, the ones who gave ideas for the new forum structure, and wanted to help moderating the forum, and have been here for long enough time became the new crew.

as for the user titles, i also liked the old way, with junior, senior, veteran etc, but there is a problem with that method, as it is based only on the post count, and not on knowledge, or time, or contribution to the forum. the way it is now, everyone are "equal".
anyway, this is up to the administrator (man0n) to decide which method to use.

i don't know.. there is only one who knows the answer :smile:

if it has been turned off because of the upgrade i believe it will be enabled soon.. but maybe the administrator decided to disable it for whatever reason..anyways - it is up to him, we will have to wait and see.

i understand where your coming from far too much illegal stuff going on!!! also not enough deletion of threads!!! you need a way to force people to be unable to avoid reading the rules!!! people just see one thread for warez and think oh that means its ok for me to post!! its only got one noticable mod being GeeZuZz i think it needs alot more than him!! hope you dont close it though some good people in there and i find it very usful for some problems ive got in and would be for others!!

What about us late comers?

I mean ... it took me years to get a phone. :D

Btw, you guys talking about avatars ... I wouldn't mind linking it to another site. I have a FTP server where I can host my own avatar. Are we allowed to do that?

About the Symbian section, what makes the Series 40 section difer to the Symbian? Why Symbian closing down? I don't think I understand why :-?

the costum avatars option has been disabled, including the option to link to avatars. (not sure if there was an option to link to avatars even before).

since there are more commercial software for symbian phones, there were a lot more warez and illegal files in the symbian section, that's why we thought of closing it, but after discussions we have decided to keep it open.

i can see the problem avatars take up room and also the download bites increase, with them this costs more money. the symbian section (and other sections) need the rules to be read first and changed so if someone asks for a link they have a pm with the link and not published on the board for everybody to read, allthough i dont think this is possible, will have to look into it.

if avatars took up space and download why are there still avatars and why do the old custom ones still there?? you still have the option for avatar just why not your own???

avatars are disabled in this vBulletin Version 3.0.0 Gamma version that our forums run with.

also can be a decission of our administrator.

u come here to show your avatars or to learn about GSM ?

many other users have avatars, and i have made a new avatar that i would like to upload too, but i can't.. it is not about that, but the discussions about this avatars thing are long, and only the administrator have the choice about it, so the questions is asked, is the costum avatars that important?

Well it seems that it IS important to some as you say "the discussions about this avatars thing are long", so when is the administrator going to intervene? either have avatars or not have avatars but lets apply to all. If personal avatars not possible for some then ALL personal avatars should be removed and not have elitist and general membership.

i strongly agree with that, older members have custom avatars and they stilll have them either let everyone have them or no one at all

This is a GSM forum.
Avarats are not related with GSM.
Therefore there are no priority for our Administrator.

i think is enough said.
